Product Detail

Jacobs Ladder has many innovative features that no other cardio machine has to offer. Unlike many other cardio machines, Jacobs Ladder was engineered to provide the user with physiological which makes it perfect equipment for anyone - from Army Rangers to retirees in rehab.

• Self-paced exercise ensures the trainer/medical professional that the subject is neither over, nor under-worked.
• Jacobs Ladder provides an engaging, low-impact workout using upper and lower body muscles over a greater range of motion, thereby making the most of the time spent in cardiovascular training.
• The simultaneous use of upper and lower extremities while controlling trunk movement supplements a core stabilization program.
• The forward inclination of the body facilitates recruitment of the intrinsic spinal musculature for stabilization and postural control.
• Jacobs Ladder is designed for very low impact on all joints and is therefore used for rehab of lower body and back injuries.
• Height adjustment offers users of all sizes a comfortable workout.
• The Ladder's 40 degree angle offers natural climbing motion, which takes stress off of lower back, hips, and knees.
• The long dynamic climbing stroke ensures a full range of motion, increasing leg and lower body muscle utilization, while also increasing cardiovascular capacity and V02 max.

Professional Advantages:

• Jacobs Ladder provides the most efficient exercise for those serious about peak aerobic and anaerobic conditioning.
• Jacobs Ladder utilizes low impact, high range of motion exercise to provide a superior cardio workout
• The Polar heart rate monitor is now standard on every Jacobs Ladder!
  
• Non-Motorized - No motor to wear out!
• Reasonable cost relative to alternative aerobic equipment.
• Small footprint, to minimize the floor space required.
• A unique exercise alternative that provides a competitive advantage.

For Fitness:

• Jacobs Ladder is the ideal machine to add to your current fitness routine, and is the best low-impact training tool on the market today!
•  
• Study after study confirms that exercise using both the arms and legs requires more energy expenditure, and therefore burns more calories than exercises using just the arms or the legs. So, unlike stair-climbers, stationary bikes, and other standard club equipment, Jacobs Ladder can offer exercisers a superb cardiovascular workout in a relatively short amount of time.
•  
• The addition of Jacobs Ladder to your workout will provide you with a unique fitness experience, while mixing up your routine.

For Training:

• Universities and professional sports teams agree that Jacobs Ladder is the ultimate fitness experience. The unique design on the machine allows for both aerobic and anaerobic workouts. Aerobically, Jacobs Ladder not only increases heart rate quicker than other machines, but correspondingly results in increased VO2MAX levels.
•  
• Jacobs Ladder also offers the athlete the option of HIIT (high intensity interval training). Because speed of the rungs is determined by the user, HIIT interval training can be achieved by utilizing 1-3 minute intervals at 85-90% maximum heart rate. Jacob's Ladder emulates sprinting or stair climbing without incurring the high impact on joints.
•  
• While traditional stair climbers, ellipticals and treadmills are well-suited for the recreational athlete, Jacobs Ladder was designed to offer the training athlete an improved method for in-season, pre-season and post-season workouts.
   

For Rehabilitation:

• Jacobs Ladder was initially designed to accommodate people who had back pain and were unable to get aerobic exercise on traditional commercial equipment. The patented design resulted in a commercial cardio machine that accommodated not only people with back issues but also people with knee, ankle and hip problems.
•  
• Jacobs Ladder automatically adjusts to your speed. The faster you go, the faster it goes. This allows the attending medical professional to ensure that the patient is not over or under worked. The readouts in Rate (Ft/Min), Distance, Calories, and Elapsed Time give the patient the ability to monitor progress over time.
• Jacobs Ladder is an ideal cardio machine for users looking to come back from an injury. Its unique design allows for a low impact workout, while still delivering results.

For Military/Fire/Police:

• The FBI, Army Rangers and Navy Seals are already using Jacobs Ladder to improve their strength and conditioning programs. Jacobs Ladder is ideal for military, fire and police training.
• With the innovative design of Jacobs Ladder, stress is taken off the lower back, which enables an intense aerobic or anaerobic workout that simulates actual challenges that military, fire and policemen face everyday.
