One Machine. 4 Ways to Train Hard and Efficiently
The JLX offers 4 unique and different climbing positions, each designed to train different muscle groups at difeerent intensity levels.
Side Rail : Low-Impact and Low-Intensity Climbing Workout
The side rail position is a great way to introduce the JLX as it is the lowest intensity climbing mode. Get used to this machine before varying the workout and adding additional hand movements.
Stand Up : Traditional Stair Climbing Workout
The stand up position is a great way to get a long aerobic workout.
Sled Drive : Higher Heart Rate for Upper and Lower Body and Core Workout
The sled drive position is perfect for high intensity intervals as it engages the core muscles and recruits the upper body muscle groups as well. The heart rate will raise quicker as your quads will really be engaged in the training.
Hand Over Hand : Highest Calorie Burn for Upper and Lower Body Workout
The hand over hand on the ladders is the most demanding and intense climbing position as both lower and upper body and core muscle groups are engaged in the session. Use it for high intensity intervals, circuit training and longer workout aerobic training.
