About the Ramp™ -

Gin Miller unveiled a totally new direction in fitness in 2004 with The Ramp™ exercise device. A revolutionary form of exercise that utilizes the muscles of the hips, glutes and hamstrings, Ramping™ is an easy-to-learn basic exercise that will revitalize cardio fitness for all ages and fitness levels.

“While other cardio activities mostly tax the front of the legs, Ramping™ focuses on the back of the legs,” said Miller. “The Ramping™ technique is like nothing else out there. It's the first cardio exercise to use a backward-dominated motion.”

The Ramping™ technique consists of dynamic pressing and lunging sequences against an adjustable inclined surface, performed to upbeat music. The variable intensity of this high-energy, low-impact workout depends on the easily applied increased range of motion, music tempo and the degree of incline of The Ramp™ exercise device.

In a constant interchange of acceleration and deceleration, the rear muscles must handle the backward movement each time the leg “pushes away” off The Ramp™ exercise device. Since the Ramping™ technique is derived from the basic lunge, it provides a high-calorie burn.

“The Ramping™ technique utilizes the natural human motion of walking forward, and combines it with the opposing action of walking backward” explained Miller.

Club professionals and their members will find that the Ramping™ system fills the need for a new and exciting fitness activity that reignites interest in cardio exercise.

Because the Ramping™ technique uses gravity and body weight as resistance, workouts are manageable and the participants (each of whom works on The Ramp™ exercise device of their own and in the “comfort zone” of their own space) are always in control.

As it fires mostly the rear muscles, Miller sums up the Ramping™ system’s most visible benefit: “It’s like sending yourself to ‘booty camp.’” Because one foot is kept in close contact with the floor most of the time, impact and joint stress are kept to a minimum.
The Ramp™ exercise device made its debut at the IHRSA trade show in February 2003 and the Ramp Company discontinued production of the club version in the fall of 2006.

Used Ramps may be available on either Amazon or Ebay.  Another place to inquire would be the Video Fitness website.
