The CrossRobics 1650 LE delivers an exceptional workout, allowing an individual to engage in both aerobic conditioning and strength training at the same time. The recumbent position supports the back and eliminates stress on the hips and knees. The CrossRobics 1650 LE conditioning system is a non weight-bearing, weight-loading, exercise system. Regular use produces increased aerobic capacity as well as stronger muscles and bones. Traditional types of weight-loading exercise, such as weight lifting, produce stronger muscles and bones but cannot be performed in the rhythmic, continuous fashion needed to improve aerobic fitness. Traditional weight-bearing exercise, such as jogging, improves aerobic fitness, but does little to enhance muscular strength. This type of exercise also increases a user’s risk of injury by placing high impact forces on their joints. The difference between the CrossRobics 1650 LE conditioning system and other types of exercise is the patented CrossRobics loading system.
The CrossRobics loading system allows the user independent control of both speed level and resistance. The exercise speed is controlled with the FASTER and SLOWER keys on the console. The resistance is controlled by selecting the appropriate number of plates on the weight stack. The training emphasis of any given workout depends on how the two variables, speed level and resistance, are combined. A strength workout consists of lower exercise speeds and heavier resistance. A power workout combines faster exercise speeds and heavy resistance. Fast exercise speeds and lighter resistance improve leg speed. An endurance program using slower speeds and lighter weights is ideal for the long-duration workouts recommended by weight-control experts.
Using this product can be compared to using the Stairmaster StairClimber. The CrossRobics 1650LE is also virtually maintenance-free: it requires only occasional lubrication for maintenance.
