aerobis Kinetic Trainer: Using the flywheel build more muscle

The dual flywheel technology (hereafter referred to as "Flywheel") allows targeted Eccentric Strength Training wherever you want. The flywheel challenges your muscles in a completely new way. Your benefits: optimal training for muscle growth, significantly more strength and a shorter recovery time after injuries.

What does eccentric strength training do to your muscles?

Strength training is not all the same. Depending on the type of stress, our muscles react differently. In classic dumbbell exercises, for example, you perform concentric and eccentric movements in equal measure. You work concentrically when you overcome resistance, i.e. lift the dumbbell. This causes the muscle to contract. This phase usually does not last very long. Once the resistance is overcome, the load decreases. When you lower the dumbbell in a controlled manner, this is an eccentric movement and the muscle stretches again. When performed consciously, this phase of the workout lasts longer than the concentric phase. Many people work but exactly at this point sloppy and give away so enormously much potential in terms of muscle building. Because:

In the eccentric phase, small micro tears develop in the muscle. Perceptible as muscle soreness. These cracks must be repaired. And through this repair, the muscles become stronger than before, the muscle buildup is much faster. The principle is called "supercompensation". It also takes effect during concentric training, but during eccentric movement, there are significantly more microtears.

The advantages of eccentric training at a glance:

  • Faster muscle development
  • Significant increase in muscle strength (maximum strength can be increased by up to 10% in just a few weeks)
  • Improvement of the rapid strength
  • Strengthening of tendons, joints and connective tissue
  • Shortening the rehabilitation period after injury

Flywheel training: two phases for success

Kinetic Trainer from aerobis delivers exactly what you're looking for. Effective, concentric training to build your muscles quickly and sustainably. In doing so, it makes use of the yo-yo effect. There are two phases to the workout. You may have already guessed: A concentric and an eccentric part.

The concentric phase: The heart of Kinetic Trainer is the flywheel. This is set in motion by pulling hard on a strap. When the strap is completely unwound, the flywheel automatically pulls it back again. Just like a yo-yo.

The eccentric phase: Exactly at this point, the concentric phase transitions into the eccentric phase. Indeed, the goal is to bring the flywheel to a standstill by muscular counter-pressure. To achieve this, maximum effort is required. The training stimulus for your muscles is enormous. Once you have successfully slowed down the flywheel, the movement starts again.

The great advantage of the aerobis Kinetic Trainer: You determine the intensity of the exercise yourself. The faster you unwind the band, the higher the resistance needed to stop it again.

Kinetic Trainer is not an awkward hulk of a machine that can only be used stationary. Weighing only 5 kilograms, the workout wonder is easy to transport and can be used in almost any location. The integrated combi suspension in the set guarantees a trouble-free installation on walls, pillars, trees or fitness rigs.

Functional and compact training device of very good quality

The Kinetic-Trainer is an interesting training device. To be honest, I had to get used to it a bit at first. The strain on the muscles is quite different than when training with dumbbells or resistance bands. However, this is also clearly emphasized in the article description. In fact, the muscle soreness after such a workout is considerable. I found the jerky switchover when you reach the end of the rope while unwinding and the rope then rolls up again to be quite annoying at first. It took me a while to figure out how to make this “switching” reasonably smooth. When I asked Elmar Schumacher (managing director of aerobis) about this, he recommended that I use the PowerSpring of the aeroSling. Indeed, the spring makes the switching much smoother. I can pass on this recommendation. I also got the “strap” that allows you to do squats with the aeroSling, as well as the heavier 8 mm weight plates. But you only need the latter if you are extremely strong. Or maybe if you want to use the Kinetic-Trainer for squats and deadlifts. For normal upper body training, the normal 4 mm weight plates are perfectly sufficient. Don't forget that ultimately you decide how high the load is, because the pulling force you generate ultimately determines the force with which the return movement occurs. On the other hand, you can also set intermediate loads with the combination of 4 mm and 8 mm discs, which can be interesting again. To be honest, however, I have to admit that I don't use the Kinetic-Trainer as often as I do the revvll or, in particular, the aeroSling. I use the Kinetic-Trainer more for core exercises and rotational movements. In combination with unstable surfaces, however, it is very valuable! Standing with one leg on a wobble board or an air cushion and then making rotational movements with the upper body with arms outstretched is a real challenge for the deep muscles and balance, because the jerky “change” (this is where it really makes sense!) makes the exercise extremely demanding. Combining the Kinetec Trainer with an exercise ball, either kneeling or sitting on it, is also very effective. Unlike the revvll, where the “Wall Rail” is a rather useful addition, the “Wall Rail” seems to be highly recommended for the Kinetic Trainer. When the Kinetic Trainer was released, the adapter for the “Wall Rail” was not yet available. I had just had a metalworker make other stainless steel mounts that I had attached to the wall at different heights and even to the ceiling once, so that I could adjust the height of the Kinetic Trainer as needed during the exercise. I quickly got the impression that only the pull from below is not enough. So I designed the new version of the “Wall Rail” with the adapter for the Kinetic Trainer. This is definitely a useful addition if you decide to buy the Kinetic Trainer! The Kinetic Trainer is quite expensive – there's no getting around it. Personally, I think it's a bit overpriced, especially compared to the similarly priced revvll-PRO, which still has a high-tech interior, whereas the Kinetic-Trainer is ultimately just a fixed pivot axis with a belt wrapped around it. But the components are, as you would expect from aerobis, of extremely high quality and workmanship. The Kinetic-Trainer will probably last a lifetime if used correctly. You may need to replace the belt in the meantime, but the belt guide is so good that this will rarely be necessary. This is quite different with the competition (e.g. Exxentric). There, the belt is slightly damaged after only a few uses. The fact that you can buy the Exxentric belt by the meter as a spare part says it all. If you consider that the Kinetic-Trainer is mobile and the competing products are even more expensive (sometimes even many times more), then the price is perhaps justified. If you save up for a while, it doesn't hurt quite so much. Occasionally, you can find offers in the classifieds – but this is rather rare, which, by the way, seems to speak for the quality of the device: those who have it obviously don't want to sell it anytime soon. If you are interested in functional and athletic training or just want to take your proprioceptive training to a new level, then I can definitely recommend this great piece.
