Burn Fat With Jacobs Ladder – Cardio Alternative

Jacobs Ladder is 322 steps cut into the rocky hills in Cheddar Gorge Somerset England, which people can climb to the top to enjoy beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, or, it is a piece of equipment in the gym that offers an excellent work out. It is a ladder that is set at an angle of 40 degrees with harness provided. Jacobs Ladder is very popular for training with top athletes, and both Army and Navy.

Jacobs Ladder is set at a 40 degree angle so that the body is leaning forward so less stress is put on the knees and lower back.

You can go at your own pace and set your own goals, unlike treadmills and stairclimbers, there are no settings, so the faster you go the faster the ladder goes. You can start climbing for as little as 1 minute, top athletes make 1 hour look easy! but depending what shape you are in, aiming for your own personal record is great incentive.

Jacobs Ladder is good for incorporating into any work out routine.

Not only does the lower body have a good work out, the Jacobs Ladder works the upper body, arms and shoulders in the natural action of climbing the ladder.

here may not be a Jacobs Ladder in your gym, but they are definitely worth a go if you come across one.
