Many of you have seen this machine at your gym. Maybe you wonder how it works and how hard is it but don't want to try in front of everyone. I'm here to tell you that this is by far the best cardio butt kicker machine out there! By FAR, I sweat more on this than I even do when I run on the treadmill. I literally am dripping. Obviously, there are different intensity levels and as you work up the intensity hill on this it just kicks your bootie. Today, I did this for 40 minutes. All I can say is that you feel like doing the victory dance after doing this BUT you can't because your legs feel like jello! The machine also says that I am burning the same amount of calories as the treadmill. Definitely a 10 in my book. It's a love/hate relationship with this machine!

We really should stop with the Satan references...
LOL!
I totally agree though. Love it and Hate it.
i need to try this one. i am in the process of quitting my gym since i have access to a free one here at work. i'm not sure if they have one of these.
i once saw this girl on it, she was seriously deathly skinny looking and she was in jean shorts and a pink tube top. after each step she kicked her leg out to the back like a ballerina. i haven't seen her since, and i'm not exactly sure what that movement was all about but i imagine it tightened her non-existant ass. ;P
Okay this machine scares me. They have them sitting right in front of my favorite...the treadclimber. I got the nerve to get on it once, and I guess I thought I was climbing too slow, so I made it go faster, and when I wanted off I don't know what happened, but I almost fell off. I've never been back on. It scared the crap out of me.
I'm glad you love it,a nd there are many regulars on it at my gym, but this girl doesn't have the nerve to get back on! :)
Oh and I just saw Kelly's response, and I've seen girls do that kick at my gym too.
LOL! Sara, I just got the email that you left a comment and I'm in the middle of leaving you one one right now. :)
The machine is totally deceptive because it does go slow at first and you think eh, this isn't so bad. But just stick with it -even if you're not feeling it at first. Seriously! after 5 minutes see how are your heart rate is doing.
And sometimes I do that kick thing, trying to *lift* the bootay...but frankly I haven't noticed a difference. And after about 10 minutes I'm hanging off the gaurdrail anyway... I couldn't lift my leg if my life depended on it!
Kelly- pink tube top and jeans shorts? WHere do these people come from? :)
At my gym, they placed these machines in a very odd place. The back of them are up very near an open area that goes to the down stairs. It is quite scary. So I rarely use them. It can't be good Feng Shui anyway.
Good job on the pants. I love putting on a pair of pants that didn't fit and they fit. It is better than candy or sex, well maybe not better than sex but, pretty close!
Samantha, lol! putting on those pants was definately fun this morning.
umm. yeah: WAY bad feng shui on the stairmill. I wouldn't go on it either. Maybe you should point that out to someone...
:)
Just found your blog and I love it! in fact I had to steal the you tube video for my own. Did I mention I love it?
Anyways, I have never known anyone else who heard of the satan machine. When I'm done with my half marathon (if ever) that will be my next goal!
A Girl Running for fun,
Thanks! I'm glad you found us too! And half-marathon, woo-hoo!
Glad you stole the video, but which one? (I'm off to your blog to see)
