I grew up right above a surprisingly sandy beach in the state of
Washington. You don’t really think of sandy beaches when you think of
Washington, but where we lived was an exception. I spent my summers
playing beach volleyball all day and skim boarding. I know first hand
that running in sand is a serious workout. The funny thing is that when
we played sports, all my friends that lived near the beach had better
conditioning than those who didn’t. Anyway, I just found a cardio
machine that is suppose to mimic running on a beach.
Love running but hate the wear and tear on your knees? Try the
Sproing, a brand-new cardio machine designed to recreate the feeling of
running on a beach.
Launching this week at IDEA World Fitness Convention in Los Angeles,
Sproing is a new trainer that comes with two interchangeable,
impact-absorbing surfaces: one dubbed Sproing Beach Runner, which
simulates running on a beach, and another called Sproing Air Runner,
which aims for a running-on-a-cloud effect.
To use the machine, you wear a vest attached to bungee
resistance cords and get moving, or more like hopping – the combination
of surface and bungee resistance keeps you bouncing on the balls of your
feet instead of pounding your heels on a treadmill. The end result: a
reduction in impact to your knees by 50 percent and back by 41 percent
compared to treadmills, claims the company.
