High Efficiency Fitness Company

Columbus, OH, July 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- After four years and eighteen prototypes, Exoskeleton, part of High Efficiency Fitness Company of Columbus, is finally offering their Lower Body Oars, (LOBOS) on the Consumer Market.

According to Steven Craig, the company founder, LOBOS represent a high efficiency rethink of how muscle exercise physical works. “Until now virtually all exercise devices were invented, sold and made by people with powerful bodies, for people also born with powerful bones and joints.”

Steven explained that all smart Physical Trainers and Bodybuilders know that muscle is very easy to strengthen as long as it can be easily overworked. But once strengthened so far the joints the muscles pull on start stressing out before the muscles can be overworked, so that rapid muscle building process comes to a sudden halt.”

“Superstar athletes are people lucky enough to have been born with far stronger then average joints and bones, so the fitness industry keeps inventing new ways to continue placing maximum loads and resistance directly on their knees and elbows, instead of muscle. Even the greatest athlete cannot use traditional training methods (that sends the loads through the knees and elbows) to approach their full potential for core muscle power. This strength blocker just happens sooner for non athletic people.”

“At some point everyone’s extremity joints prevent traditional exercise methods and devices from maximizing their core muscle strength, so if you, like me, were unlucky enough to have been born with mobility disabled joints, then traditional exercise methods are useless for putting big powerful athletic core muscles on your bones.”

“I always use comparable examples, for instance the knees of the average morbidly obese person will stress out before they can run hard for 30 seconds. So their running muscles power cannot be massively increased by using traditional mobility exercise methods.”

“So if an exercise device could be designed to also carry the stresses and loads forces instead of the leg joints and bones then people too disabled, obese or old to even walk, would suddenly have a simple way to massively strengthen their core mobility muscles. So this is what we spent years perfecting.”

By taking the leg joints and bones completely out of core muscle running exercises, Steven explained that his LOBOS eliminate those obstacles to again fire up that easy muscle building process, making LOBOS the world’s most physically empowering mobility device, for everyone, no matter how strong their bones and joints are.

“LOBOS are the worlds’ first and only exercise device that could ever fully load the human mobility core muscles, through their entire running motion range, over and over. He claims his firm’s utility patents for the “Exoskeleton™ technology” LOBOS use represents the evolutionary step for human mobility fitness.

Lower Body Oars (LOBOS) work like an exoskeleton to carries both the core muscle effort and the resistance to it around the outside of the legs instead of “funneling” them through the leg bones and joints. This change alone will allow athletes to apply 4 to 18 times more running exertion, from their butt, belly, hips, thighs, lower back, muscles through up to twice the motion range physically possible with any traditional land running exercise.”

Steven explained that the “4 times” is for tiny athletes like 80lb gymnasts, and the “18 times” is for enormous athletes like 350lb Pro Football lineman. He also added that the actual increases are much higher then these numbers but that these numbers are very easy to prove by accounting for one physical fact, that traditional core muscle running exercise produces a horizontal muscle effort, to fight against the vertical resistance of gravity.

He explained that this imbalance of the two primary forces of exercise (Muscle Effort and External Resistance) force the leg bones and joints to handle all of the falling weight, all of the ground reflected impacts (resistance), plus body balance and support of a running body. So gravity causes even the strongest knees, of the world’s fastest athletes to still stress out long before their core running muscles can. He pointed out that only the air a body runs through actually returns external resistance back to its core running muscles. “The more an exercise directly faces these two forces, the more efficient it becomes”.

He gave this example, “Running uphill can build more running muscle then running on flat land because the steeper the upward angle becomes, more the muscle effort is facing gravity’s resistance, instead of air”.

“By bypassing the knees and feet, LOBOS can be ‘hundreds of times’ more effective at building the mobility muscle of the elderly, obese, and even most amputees, then any traditional method or device ever could”.

Because LOBOS must also be used with a flotation device, (like a life jacket) belted seat, or a body harness in a swimming pool or large hot tub, they can be very effectively used by virtually anyone from non swimmers to people too weak or obese to even get themselves out of bed.

He also explained that even though athletes and disabled people may do many of the same LOBO exercises, they will use them in two entirely different ways. “Only athletes should ever use LOBOS for core running ‘Muscle Failure’, which is impossible for traditional methods once their body becomes used to running.

‘Muscle Failure’ is the Holy Grail for bodybuilders, as this type of muscle cell damage causes the body to rapidly heal the muscle to a bigger stronger state.

Because those two forces are perfectly opposed while running in LOBOS, average folks to the disabled will only need to gently move them through their full range of core running motions to massively increase the strength of those muscles. Because LOBOS do not load, impact or stress out any extremity bones or joints, or compress the spine, they can massively empower almost anyone’s body core, almost painlessly, in just several weeks.

Their greatest benefits may be for treating people with debilitating diseases. As those conditions normally cause their victims to become weaker, LOBOS may simultaneously increase their core muscle strength enough to compensate for their losses, thus greatly increasing the effectiveness of their treatments.

When asked about other exercise devices he offered this analogy “Imagine giving a sculptor very strong clay to sculpt, instead of a sand pile. LOBOS will not compete or replace any efficient exercise device, because they provide them with far stronger clay to sculpt. Alternating LOBO workouts with other devices, will greatly improve their effectiveness for far more people, not just athletes, thus providing their manufactures with a much larger market that previously could not have attained great results with their products.”

After being born mobility disabled and fighting off several strains of advanced cancer, Steven says that his company, High Efficiency Fitness Co. is also putting their money where their mouth is. They are so certain that no other device or method even approaches 10% of the increases that LOBOS can deliver to core running power, they will refund the purchase price to anyone who can find another device on the consumer market with even less (but comparable results), and then they will buy that device for them.

Steven claims that LOBOS can work wonders in almost any lap pool or large Hot Tub. Limited quantities will be available at bodyoars.com, starting July 14, 2008, at $449 US per pair, $19 extra for colors.
