What are some advantages of functional exercise within the GRAVITY training program?
A. In the GRAVITY Training Program on Total Gym, muscles are worked as they are used in life – both in terms of lever load and movement. Exercise on Total Gym accommodates full joint range of motion in all three functional planes. Functional exercise on Total Gym is based on natural movement patterns and proper biomechanics. When the human body becomes the weight – on a rolling incline surface – it is free to move in any plane of motion. Functional, multi-plane exercises permit the targeting of specific fitness objectives. Also, unrestricted body positioning invites exercise variations while Total Gym adjustable pulleys and squat stand features encourage proper force angles and movement patterns. The muscle adaptation facilitated during exercise on Total Gym replicates that occurring in natural movement. This in turn improves functional performance. What this means to club members is that their fitness level and sports performance improve. Cardinal Planes of Motion: Sagittal — front to
