<\/p>\nThis could be the most powerful cardio tool ever created to strip fat off your entire body\u2026. that no one ever talks about!<\/p>\n
Vertical climbing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You might have seen it at the gym\u2026The Versa Climber machine is that tall piece of equipment lurking in the corner that resembles the Leaning Tower of Pisa.<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s unpopular.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a total body killer!<\/p>\n
You\u2019re basically climbing up and down a vertical wall.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a little back story for you\u2026<\/p>\n
The Versa Climber and I had a horrible first date\u2026 At my very first personal training job in New York, my hardcore boss was \u201ctraining\u201d me before I started taking on new clients\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026and he told me to sprint 1000 feet.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever been on this machine, you know that\u2019s no joke!<\/p>\n
So I did it.<\/p>\n
And let me tell you\u2026 after 200 feet I was completely done. My lungs were on fire and my arms were about to fall off.<\/p>\n
Quite a memorable experience. I\u2019m pretty sure I was burning calories for 3 years after that!<\/p>\n
You use your arms and legs to climb, which makes your heart rate skyrocket. You can decrease the tension on the machine’s gearing forces to use more upper body\u2026 or you can increase the tension to work your legs.<\/p>\n
I always felt it more in the quads than my hamstrings, but don\u2019t worry, your arms will still be feeling it. Note: I don\u2019t recommend trying it if you have bad knees or a bad back.<\/p>\n
Why is it such a powerful fat loss tool?<\/p>\n
A recent study from the Washington State University found that subjects\u2019 maximal heart rates were higher when doing Versa Climber intervals compared to running intervals on the treadmill or rowing machine.<\/p>\n
