Cardiovascular System

This equipment-assisted running variation trains the same cardiovascular and quad-driven mechanics as standard running, with added gear changing the resistance or demand slightly. The core running mechanics stay the same regardless of what's added.

How to Do the Run (equipment)

  1. Start by standing upright with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Engage your core and keep your upper body relaxed.
  3. Begin jogging in place, lifting your knees up towards your chest and landing softly on the balls of your feet.
  4. Maintain a steady pace and continue jogging for the desired duration or distance.
  5. Remember to breathe deeply and maintain good posture throughout the exercise.

Muscles Worked

The Run (equipment) primarily targets the Cardiovascular System, with Quadriceps as the primary synergist muscle group, along with the Hamstrings, Calves.
