    Space workout anyone?šŸ¦µ #shorts

    ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is sharing scenes from life on board the International Space Station during his second mission ā€œAlphaā€. He shared this video on social media with the caption:

    ā€œSpace workout anyone? The Advanced Resistive Exercise Device or ARED is called this for a reason, it uses pressurized air in two cylinders and complicated machinery to allow us to weightlift in space: squats, deadlifts, bench press, shoulder press, biceps curl, etc, we can do it allā€¦ but we do a lot of squats: these muscles donā€™t do much work during our normal day. We never skip exercise on the International Space Station. Every. Single. Day. I miss having a shower, and I miss the rain, and I miss fresh food, but secretly I also miss having a day without having to exercise. Don’t tell my flight surgeon!ā€

    Over 200 experiments are planned during Thomasā€™ time in space, with 40 European ones and 12 new experiments led by the French space agency @CNES.

  • Space Station fitness

    Space Station fitness

    ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet gives a guided tour of the International Space Stationā€™s exercise machines. Staying fit is important on Earth but even more so in space as bones and muscle are used less in microgravity and tend to waste away. Astronauts spend around two hours every day doing fitness routines.

    The Space Station has three types of exercise machines: a treadmill (T2), an exercise bicycle (CEVIS) and a weight-lifting machine (ARED).

    Thomas is spending six months on the International Space Station as part of his Proxima mission. During Proxima, Thomas will perform around 50 scientific experiments for ESA and Franceā€™s space agency CNES as well as take part in many research activities for the other Station partners.

    The mission is part of ESAā€™s vision to use Earth-orbiting spacecraft as a place to live and work for the benefit of European society while using the experience to prepare for future voyages of exploration further into the Solar System.
