Jacobs Ladder
Anyone ever tried that dam cardio machine in the Gym?
I was feeling frisky and thought well...Im getting in great shape now..I'll just try it out for 20 minute and do a little different cardio...
You know how long I lasted?
2 minutes......
2 LOUSY MINUTES!! 
That was THE hardest damn machine I have ever done in my life! So now I will hit that thing ever day. Everyday until I can do 3 minutes..!!
Then so on until I can do 20..I know I will be in great shape once I can do that.....
2 minutes

Observe a pyrotechnical display of "traveling" fiery plasma. Starts off as 1/2" arc and expands to over 3" before evaporating into space. This is an excellent attention getting display as well as a winning science project!!
These are neat, but dangerous. My dad built one when I was a kid.
As for the cardio thing, looks kind of wierd, honestly though I wonder about RMI.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

Repetitive Motion Injury, I have had issues from typing. Grocery store employees from constant gripping motions have had problems.
I'm not old but I have learned over the last few years to not push my luck with repetitive things, or things hard on the body like running, especially at my bodyweight.
I have done a stepper before and even that gets my heart going pretty fast, so I dont doubt that this is quite a workout at all. Anything IMO that involves virtually the whole body is going to be a real beach.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu

I have this theory after working around healthclubs my whole life that even the general public that excercises can still be broken down to the 80/20 rule
That is 80 % of the poplation of a gym will continue down the path of least resistance fooling themselves into beliveing that they are making a difference.
20% of the people in the Gym will recieve 80% of the results.
It never ceases to amaze me that humans can accept apathy even when active.Last edited by trinsdad; 07-24-2003 at 10:06 AM.

That Jacobs Ladder thing looks kind of cool! It reminds me of those amusement park games where you have climb across a rope ladder, then ring a bell at the end to win a prize. Does that Jacob's Ladder thing spit out a stuffed animal or t-shirt when you finish the 20 minute workout? It should. That would be good incentive to work out. Or maybe a beer.
