A workout that combines the best of cardio and total-body strength training

Climbing is a natural movement in the human body. It’s how we’ve evolved and lived since the caveman era. We’re built to climb, move and explore. Today, climbing is proving to be effective when it comes to exercise too.

A workout on a vertical climber mimics the movement of climbing a mountain. It combines both cardio and aerobic activity with strength training.

“The vertical climber is totally different than a bike or treadmill because you’re engaging your entire body,” explains exercise physiologist Christopher Travers, MS. “The movement can be challenging, but it’s very effective. It’ll probably kick your butt.”
