Flow into your Fitness
The Original SANDDUNE™, a unique aerobic/anaerobic compliant device invented for interval training to keep performance level from losing momentum during off weather or injury downtime.
Being able to excel on off days or rehab muscles and joints when the impact of the ground is over exhausting, SANDDUNE™ Cross Training excels in keeping your current level of fitness.
Increase Cardio, while Reduce or Build
- Strengthen Muscular-skeletal, Body’s Core Muscles
- Build Stamina, Endurance and Agility
- Develops greater Dynamic Balance
- Aids in Rehabilitation practices
The device allows the body to train:
- up-hill, down-hill,
- sitting, standing, leaning,
- stretching, walking or running;
Similar to aqua-jogging, or plyometrics in the water, it offers therapeutic options easy on the joints.

Working on the SANDDUNE will allow one to learn how to:
- Stand at the Center of Gravity with the core engaged, knees soft, back erect, belly button back and gaze straightforward.
- Learn Feet and Foundation sense in the feet through learning to work the whole foot as weight shifts “around the clock.”
- Develop and understand proprioception (the ability to sense the position, location, orientation and movement of the body and its parts) on an uneven, moving surface as all of the parts of the body are taught to work together. IE…learning to “marry” the trunk and the lower body for greater flexibility in movement and walking.

Sports-Neuromuscular Stimulation & Mirror Resistance
Neuromuscular stimulation provides your strength, coordination, reflexes, and balance. If this system is lacking you will not have these capabilities in daily living or athletics. The neuromuscular stimulation and feedback loops are highly responsive to high frequency contractions which occurs during the rapid compression movements performed during cardio burst workouts. These feedback loops are referred to as Mirror Resistance.
Squat Run beginning position. You may want to try dropping closer to your heels to increase the muscle activity. As you run or pad in and out of the squat, try touching the foot pads when in full squat. Give yourself that extra challenge building your cardio and strength.
Cardio Burst Workout
Cardio Work on the Original SANDDUNE™ for athlete or fitness buff.
To warm up – pad slowly for 1 minute. Do not get your heart rate up. When padding, your feet should barely come off of the pads.
- Run for 2 minutes as fast as you can.
- Pad slowly for 2 minutes
- Run for 30 seconds as hard as you can.
- Pad slowly for 2 minutes.
- Run for 30 seconds as hard as you can
- Finish with a 2 minute cool down.
- Step off the SANDDUNE and orient yourself on level ground. Walk around for a couple of minutes.
Do this workout 3 times a week. Within a two week period you should be able to realize a doubling of your cardiovascular capacity, and an increase in quad and core strength as well. This workout is equal to 3 hours of cardio work a week. Try this instead of your run, elliptical or stair stepper segment of your workout.
Squat Run position. Do not arch your back and only drop as low as is comfortable in the squat position.
Upright running position. Lift your knees as high as is comfortable.
