Staying Fit with a Total Body Workout

Swiss mountain climbers aren’t the only ones who need to stay fit. Even ordinary, everyday people understand how important it is to maintain a strong, healthy body. One way they get a total body workout is on equipment that works all of the body’s muscles rapidly and in sync, such as a climbing machine.

Climbing machines have been all the rage because not only can you get a complete total body workout but you can do so in a much shorter period than it used to take. An hour-long total body workout can now be done in 20 minutes. That’s right, 20 minutes!

Fitness enthusiasts are generally very busy and can’t afford to take time away from work, family, and life. More and more, moms, dads, college and high school students, and blue and white collar workers who couldn’t take the time for long workouts are now finding that a total body workout can more easily fit into their busy schedules. They are also finding that the benefits of a total body workout can easily outweigh the time it takes to go to the gym to improve their health.

Rise Nation customers know that the climbing machines are praised as a remarkable total body workout that helps to improve overall health and fitness. We list some of the ways it can improve your health below.

Comprehensive Cardio Workout

Cardiovascular workouts: improve lung function and expanded lung capacity; strengthen heart muscle which makes it easier for the heart to pump oxygen-enriched blood to the body; increase endurance making it possible for longer and stronger workouts; boosts metabolism which aids in burning calories and losing weight; increases energy; reduces stress; and promotes restful sleep. Amazing isn’t it?

Total Body Strength Training

While exercising on a climbing machine, the opposing up and down movement of arms and legs helps to build muscle strength and endurance. The simple act of getting all the body’s muscles moving at an increased pace, all at the same time, increases not only muscle endurance but muscle strength as well. You can achieve muscle strength through the action of muscle groups utilizing muscle fibers, the speed at which those muscles are used, the resistance that the muscles are pitted against, and the frequency that the muscle neurons fire. The exact mechanism by which muscle is built is still unclear, but what we do know is that the more frequently you use your muscles, the stronger they can get.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a beginner or a tried-and-true exercise guru, total body workouts like that which can be achieved by the VersaClimber are invaluable. Rise Nation knows that getting a great cardiovascular workout is important because it can strengthen not only your heart, and lungs, it can also increase muscle firmness and strength.  Getting that much benefit from a workout does seem like a lot. Every time you do a cardiovascular workout, your body goes through some astounding changes. Remember, you only get one body, and it’s vital that you treat it with the respect it deserves.
