Total Gym: Resistance
built 642 days ago
Now let's compare the resistance generated by the Total Gym with Bodylastics Elastic Resistance. The Total Gym creates resistance by mixing the principles of gravity with a sliding slant board. The slant board is attached to cables which are fed through a fly wheel and then attach to handles or ankle straps. When you sit on the slant board which can be set to different incline angles, it naturally slides down (gravitational pull) creating resistance. When you pull on the handles or ankle straps it moves the slant board up against gravity. The more of an incline that you create the greater the resistance.
