The Benefits of Vertical Movement:
most valuable
Most fitness activities target isolated muscle groups, but vertical movement is different. Using a
Treadwall provides a full-body, non-repetitive exercise that can be adapted by the user for different
goals. You can customize the experience by adjusting the exercise patterns, angle and/or speed
on the wall. In terms of focus and mental involvement, climbing has no peer. The activity requires
constant decision-making and concentration. This promotes a quick motor response and muscle
recruitment. Technique, balance and core strength interplay and climbers often develop a height-
ened sense of body awareness and confidence in their daily lives.
The Laddermill can be used by itself by performing intervals, for circuit training with other equip-
ment or longer periods for pure endurance. It is a low-impact full body workout which makes it an
ideal complement to other fitness activities and sports. It can be used as a warm up, cool down or
a high intensity programming.
Customize it to suit YOUR needs and GOALS.
1) You should use the equipment yourself to get a first-hand look at how the workout makes you
feel, learning to access angle/speed for a variety of abilities and to reap the benefits of vertical
movement personally.
2) At first this equipment may be considered intimidating, but the more knowledge you can pass
on to your members about training and benefits will help bridge the gap.
3) Check out all the different ways it can be used (varying hand grip, angle and body movement)
--- to keep it engaging to the user. Be creative.
Encourage Members to Try It Out:
They should try it at a positive angle first so they can get familiar with the balance and motions in-
volved. Try the workout on the
Quick Start with them if you need a reference.
Emphasize controlled, smooth movement and attention to balance.
Suggest short workouts to start, which will complement their current workout routine
