Many people sign up for the gym to get into shape, but often lose interest before results start to show. It requires rigorous self-discipline to keep slogging away at fitness machines just to burn calories. But if muscle effort actually gets you into motion, it all starts to make sense. The MANTIS works both ways: you reach your destination and have a full-body workout at the same time. Pushing, pulling or turning the handles brings the vehicle up to speed. You can adapt your moves to the muscles that need work; riding the MANTIS is a fun and easy-to-maintain training that’s worth twice the effort.
