Baseline Study Comparing
The Body Beam©, a Stepper Exercise Machine, and a Ski Exercise Machine


Summary

The following table illustrates the average s output from each area of the body using the three (3) different exercise devices. In each instance, the Body Beam activated more motor units (muscle fibers) than did the skier or stepper.

  Skier Stepper Body Beam
Upper Body 18.00 14.00 109.00
Lower Body 38.00 21.00 44.00
Abdominal 3.00 5.00 66.00
Totals 59.00 40.00 219.00

The table indicates that when used as manufacturer suggests:

1. The Body Beam© activates 3.71 times more muscle than the Skier.

2. The Body Beam© activates 5.47 times more muscle than the Stepper.
