Nautilus Mobia Review
The new Nautilus Mobia home fitness machine just debuted, and I had the chance to try it out at Nautilus headquarters. It is a new concept to give a higher intensity workout with low impact and a walking motion. How high intensity? It really had me puffing at a moderate speed and resistance, I had to slow it down and reduce the tension. But I was simply walking — no strange motion to get used to like with an elliptical.
The Mobia employs two treadles, each with a moving belt, and they move up and down to meet your foot on the forward step. The result is a very low impact walk, yet you are going significantly uphill. I felt immediate engagement of my core abdominal muscles and hip and thigh muscles. This is a serious workout machine, although the top speed is only 4 miles per hour.
To top it off, it is designed to look good in your house, it’s quiet and it takes up less space than a treadmill, although it doesn’t fold up. I was impressed.
