Ascent Trainer - Defining Your Path With Motion
The Ascent Trainer® gives the body the variety it craves without leaving too much to chance. A lot of equipment manufacturers talk about incorporating user-defined motion to deliver this workout versatility. That certainly is an option, but it is one that puts a lot of responsibility on users, who have to consciously monitor their paths of motion to ensure that they maintain the workouts they think they want. If they daydream or lose focus, their workout could revert to something simpler, something less challenging, and ultimately something less effective. That squanders their time and delays results.
That is why the Ascent Trainer brings flexibility to the movement pattern without relying on a user-defined path of motion. That distinction is critical. The Ascent Trainer’s versatility enables users to vary their exercise workout-to-workout or even moment to moment, but it also ensures a level of consistency that would be lost if the motion were totally user-defined. Individuals do not have to focus on maintaining a climb or a certain stride length. They cannot default to a less strenuous, almost passive path. The Ascent Trainer lets them adjust their movement pattern and then maintain it as long as they like or recreate it over and over again. Users can focus on their effort and output and not on the shape of their ellipse.
New Course Offering From Kranking
The most valuable tool in any personal trainer’s toolbox is the one that offers the most versatility and yields the greatest results. The College of Knowledge is pleased to introduce new courses this summer at IDEA World Fitness Convention and canfitpro developed to give trainers the skills they need to make the most of their Krankcycle®.
“Improving Sports Performance with the Krankcycle” will introduce how Kranking® produces significant training adaptations for a variety of upper-body, lower-body and multisport athletes. Trainers will learn to design training sequences and express workouts on the Krankcycle to provide positive adaptations for performance and cross-training, which permits lower-body recovery and rehabilitation for a variety of athletes.
“Rehab to Wellness” will provide trainers with the skills necessary to keep clients engaged with cardiovascular fitness and consistency when an injury would normally keep them from the gym. The Krankcycle is perfect for working with clients returning to activity following an upper-body injury or searching for ways to keep lower-limb injured clients engaged in a fitness regimen while they heal.
