Expedition 74 flight engineers (from left) Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Jessica Meir of NASA take a portrait together before beginning their exercise sessions on the International Space Station. Afterward, Adenot worked out on the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) that mimics free weights on Earth, while Meir jogged on the COLBERT treadmill. Both exercise devices are located inside the Tranquility module.
The Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) is an exercise device designed by NASA to allowed for more intense workouts in zero gravity. The device was flown to the International Space Station during STS-126 and installed in 2009 to replace its inefficient predecessor, the Interim Resistance Exercise Device. The device uses a system of vacuum tubes and flywheel cables to simulate the process of free weight exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, and calf raises, workouts that more effectively prevent lower muscle atrophy, although it has the capability to workout any muscle group.
