A Body By Jake Exerciser
At my age, I look for exercises and workouts that expend the maximum amount of calories while giving me a great cardio workout. Also important is that the exercises have to be easy on the joints and give me the most calorie burn in the shortest amount of time. The Body by Jake Cardio Cruiser Plus looks to satisfy all of these requirements easily. There's:
minimum impact to your joints and your body
as well as maximum calorie burning
best use overall result for the time spent
Cardio Cruiser=Calorie Blaster
I think the best thing about this exercise machine is that you can get a great calorie burning workout and not feel sore the next day. It's designed like the expensive elliptical exercise machines you find at the gym, but it's not nearly as expensive and takes up much less of your floor space. The Cardio Cruiser Plus machine is designed to cushion your joints against repeated jolts or trauma as they would receive while running, even on a treadmill.
To do these calorie blasting exercises, your are in a recumbent position and are exercising both the upper and lower body. The machine is thoughtfully designed and constructed so that all movements are smoothly uniform which also helps to minimize harmful impacts. To make the time go faster, put the Cardio Cruiser in front of the TV set while you're working out. Time really flies when you've got the TV to distract you.
Three-in-One Exerciser
The Cardio Cruiser Plus is a Body by Jake brand exercise machine. Probably the best thing about this piece of equipment is that with just one exercise you are working out 95% of your body. The reason the Cardio Cruiser can do this is that the design incorporates the principles of three exercise machines into one dynamic unit.
The basic machine uses the principles of a recumbent bike; all exercises are done from this position. The relaxed, reclined body position lends itself to a more relaxed, stress free workout without becoming sore from the stress of sitting.
While in the recumbent seated position, you work your upper body by grasping the handle bars. This upper body movement gives you the same upper body workout as an elliptical exercise machine. These handle bars allow you to give your upper torso a great workout at the same time as you're exercising your lower body.
For the lower body, the Cardio Cruiser mimics the exercises done by the classic stair stepper, even having foot pedals of similar design. Incorporating the stair stepper design allows you not only to burn calories and tone your lower body, but give you a great cardio workout as well.
For the money, this is really a good home exercise unit and not just another As Seen On TV exercise toy. It's well built, sturdy and easily movable and stored. Something to consider if the cost and time spent in travel to and from the gym is a motivating factor in your exercise life.
