New Jacobs Ladder

Climb to new heights of full body fitness with Jacobs Ladder, a unique training tool which rapidly elevates your heart rate to its desired training zone. Jacobs Ladder achieves its benefits while offering a very low-impact training experience. Due to the 40-degree angle of the climbing equipment, there is almost no stress to the hips, knees, or ankle joints. In addition, unlike other climbing machines, with Jacobs Ladder there is a significant upper-body weight-bearing component, so your core muscles are significantly involved, and there is a full body strengthening effect. The 40-degree angle is not adjustable – ensuring an injury-free exercise session by keeping your spine neutral. 1 to 5 minutes on the Ladder may be all you need to elevate your heart rate and bring about a noticeable training effect. Jacobs Ladder sets up quickly with no need for an electrical outlet. Its power is self-generated; the harder you work, the faster it goes. The ladder may take some getting used to, however, as it’s designed to serve the beyond recreation-level athlete. One common usage would be for “HIIT”or “High Intensity Interval Training”, which consists of 1-3 minute exercise bouts at 85-90% of maximum heart rate. The greatest appeal of Jacobs Ladder may just be that it’s so different: said one user, “It’s not boring”.
