Jacobs Ladder Classic

Jacobs Ladder Classic

Jacobs Ladder is a patented commercial cardio machine specifically designed for fitness enthusiasts, athletes and professionals. Its unique design places the user at a 40° angle in order to take stress off of the lower back.

Because Jacobs Ladder is self-paced, the faster you go, the faster it goes. To stop, just slow down. Jacobs Ladder is also self-powered, so without the need for an electrical outlet, you can place it anywhere in your facility.

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.

Universities and professional sports teams agree that Jacobs Ladder is the ultimate fitness experience. The unique design of 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 the 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.

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.

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 every day.

Features

• Jacobs Ladder provides an engaging, low-impact workout using upper and lower body muscles over a greater range of motion, maximizing 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.
• Designed for very low impact on all joints, and therefore used for rehab of lower body and back injuries.
• Gives the user the ability to train either aerobically or anaerobically.
• Height adjustment to the security strap offers users of all sizes a comfortable workout.
• The Ladder's 40-degree angle offers natural climbing motion, which takes stress off the 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.
