This is the Nautilus Mobia, the home fitness machine that according to a study at the New York Adelphi University, can burn upto twice as many calories in a half hour session than a treadmill at the same speed.
If you are looking to lose a few pounds or generally just tone up your body and get fit then the Nautilus Mobia is one piece of home fitness equipment that you should be considering, so let’s take a look at what the Mobia has to offer.
The first thing you should know about the Mobia is that there is no running involved. It only has a speed range of 0.5 – 4 mph which means although you can burn upto twice as many calories as a treadmill you only need to walk to do this. This is good for people who may want to reduce the stress on their knee and ankle joints, or for people like me who just do not like running.
The Mobia has what Nautilus call a 3-in-1 motion. What this means is that when using the Mobia you burn calories as you step forward like a treadmill, you shape your muscles when stepping up like a stair climber, and you reduce the stress on your joints as the Mobia has a fluid action, like an elliptical. So thanks to this 3 in 1 motion you burn more calories faster in less time as the workout is more efficient.
Not only will you be burning calories with the Mobia but you will also be increasing your heart and lung capacity, so you should feel fitter and your body will become firmer. Nautilus guarantee you that you will see results in just six weeks or you can get your money back, although this guarantee does have certain conditions as with all guarantees.
The Mobia does have a sleek and intuitive console design and to get started all you need to do is push a button and the Mobiaa gives you the control of your workout. As you walk forward the Mobia’s treadles act just like a treadmill, and since the treadles move independantly you also step up just like a stair climber. The treadles rise to meet your feet as you step forward and up and your natural movement will push the treadle down against the resistance. So by combining both actions the Mobia gives you a smooth, low impact motion workout of an elliptical. This 3-in-1 technology comes exclusively from Nautilus.
Included when you buy the Nautilus Mobia are some accessories including a Telemetry Chest Strap to wirelessly monitor your heart rate and the unique Nautilus Nutrition Plan and the Introduction to Fitness Guide.
Nautilus do also offer an assembly service but it depends on where you live and if you have $219 spare to pay for it. Personally I would assemble it myself but you may have different opinions on that. You can check the video beneath the Mobia product specs for assembly instructions.
One more thing to mention is that Nautilus do offer financing if you want to spread your payments over a period of time, and may be worth looking at if you don’t want to pay a lump sum straight off.
