Jacobs Ladder X

Jacobs Ladder X

Jacobs Ladder X takes everything great about the original Jacobs Ladder cardio machine and introduces several key upgrades. This includes an improved digital dashboard that provides more insight on your workout, from climb rate and total feet climbed to calories burned and workout intensity level. The JLX also now enables athletes to train in FOUR different workout positions, making it easier to customize your training for specific muscle groups or intensity levels.

Jacobs Ladder X Climbing Positions:

• Side Rail – Low intensity climbing
• Stand Up – Traditional stair climbing workout
• Sled Drive – Higher heart rate, upper and lower body core muscle workout
• Hand Over Hand – Highest calorie burn, High intensity upper and lower body workout

Like the original model, the JLX is equally effective as a high intensity interval training tool for competitive athletes and a low-impact cardio machine for safe and practical rehab work. The machine’s 40-degree climbing angle naturally removes much of the direct stress from the lower back, hips, and knees as you train, and because it’s self-powered, your own output determines the pace . . . with no need of a nearby wall outlet.

The 344LB Jacobs Ladder X is quality-built from welded tubular steel with solid maple climbing rungs, making it extremely durable even under regular everyday stress. Cited in a study by the LSU School of Kinesiology as a “scientifically superior workout” to traditional treadmills, the Jacobs Ladder design has been increasingly absorbed into the training programs of professional and collegiate sports teams, police and fire departments, military bases and academies, and countless personal gyms large and small.
