How does the Total Gym minimize the risk of injury during exercise?
A. With most single station machines and free weights, compressive forces occur to the spine and extremities. Total Gym is different. Utilization of the angled glideboard reduces compressive forces to the spine during resistance exercise. Use of the dynamic pulley system reduces compressive forces to the shoulders and arms during resistance exercise. The back is fully supported on the glideboard, creating a safe low impact environment for the spine, even during abdominal exercises and plyometrics.
