Jacobs Ladder exercise machine

Jacobs Ladder recreates the movement of climbing a ladder, but instead of going straight up, you’re climbing at a 40-degree angle. It’s like a treadmill, but you’re climbing, not running or walking.  You can climb for as long as you want without ever running out of height!   Jacobs Ladder is designed to provide a high-intensity, low-impact workout. That means you burn calories without the wear and tear on your body that you get from other high-intensity training programs. Experts from the School of Kinesiology at Louisiana State University even conducted a study that found that Jacobs Ladder burns calories at a much higher rate than treadmills.  Climbing a vertical ladder is a high-impact activity. The 40-degree angle of Jacobs Ladder is calculated to relieve pressure on the lower body. The ladder can be used by people who are looking for a low-impact, workout that won’t put stress on their joints. Climbing workouts are also a great way to relieve lower back pain in your spine, since the muscles they work support the vertebrae and discs in the lower back, which reduces strain on your back bones.  Although Jacobs Ladder was created to be a rehab machine, you should talk with your doctor or physical therapist before using it if you’re injured. People who are pregnant should never use Jacobs Ladder.  Getting Started  A big benefit of Jacobs Ladder is that it’s intuitive; just like climbing a ladder! There aren’t any adjustments that you have to make to the machine to start out. All you have to do is put on the belt that connects the user to the machine.   The belt serves several different functions. It acts as a safety to keep the ladder rungs locked in place when the machine is not in use, or when you’re getting on and off the machine. The belt is also how you control the machine’s speed and resistance level – the more tension on the belt, the higher the speed. Adjust the belt so that the logo is on your hip – this will make sure that the heartrate monitor is
