Walk on Water - Sea Jogger Systems Inc. Introduces Its Revolutionary, Unique, Patented Water Walking System Called Sea Jogger

Addressing the latest trend in fitness and recreation, revolutionary Sea Jogger allows the user to exercise and relax at the same time. This unique and easy-to-use personal water propulsion system provides no-impact exercise by converting the destructive energy of impact into exercise. Sea Jogger is totally portable and lightweight. Easy to assemble and disassemble, Sea Jogger fits into a custom bag, which makes it easy to carry on a shoulder or in a car. Sea Jogger utilizes a unique, quiet and effective fin propulsion system which allows you to glide effortlessly on water. Using Sea Jogger is so easy - just set up, step on and walk. Sea Jogger moves forwards or backwards, and it is easy to turn and change directions. Sea Jogger is extremely stable and comfortable. There is no need to take off your shoes or get wet. You just naturally walk on water. If you can walk, you can walk on water with Sea Jogger.

Inventor Gregory Lekhtman, whose worldwide, award-winning patented products include Exerlopers no-impact running shoes and Insta-Pulse heart-rate monitors, and others, explains how Sea Jogger works:

“Sea Jogger’s patented construction performs a unique functionality, which is to effortlessly walk on water. This functionality is achieved by a combination of rugged aluminum parts and flexible polymers. Sea Jogger consists of a collapsible frame, two high-quality inflatable pontoons, two elongate members with flexible fins, a flexible floor, which attaches to the frame and a flexible rudder with a handlebar. The fin propulsion system works on the energy of a person’s weight transfer while walking on the flexible floor. This causes the up- and-down movement of the elongate members with the fins attached to them, resulting in forward propulsion. In addition, this combination provides a noiseless operation with excellent efficiency of propulsion. “Sea Jogger moves forwards due to the fin propulsion and backwards due to the operation of the flexible, fin-like rudder. Easy steering is achieved by the efficient front rudder, which has two functions: steering and backward propulsion. The rudder is connected to the steering column and handlebar with comfortable handgrips. Sea jogger is extremely easy to operate since the operational movement is a natural motion of walking in place.”

Many people run to avoid having a heart attack. Paul Dorey took a little different approach.

The 66-year-old retired mechanical engineer, who was born in Boston, had two cases of cardiac arrest, then became a serious distance runner. It works for Dorey.

Dorey ran before his health problems, but he took the unusual approach to avoid another massive heart attack - his last in July 1998 when he was 58. He was living in Citrus Springs then, but has since moved to Hernando.

“I was in full cardiac arrest twice,” Dorey said.

No, he didn’t start running right away.

“It started with a walking program,” Dorey said. “I was walking 5 miles a day. That’s when I met Colon Joiner (former president of the Citrus Road Runners) at the Citrus Middle School track. He kept telling me I ought to be running. Three months after the attack, I discussed it with the doctor, Dr. Sharon Martin, a cardiologist. She said go ahead and do it, take my time and build it up slowly.”

Yes, he had some pain along with the gains.

Dorey said the first time he tried 2 miles, he thought he was going to die. After he began the running program, Dorey went back to a doctor for a nuclear stress test. He said 30 percent of his heart muscles were dead.

Later, those “dead muscles” came back and he became a happy “loser.”

“They used to say it doesn’t come back,” Dorey said. “I also lost 54 pounds. That didn’t hurt. They started using me and Charlie Blaisdell, who has a pacemaker. He had a low heart rate.
