You are just pushing air. Users can perform a variety of lifts, while standing or sitting on a bench or fitness ball. This is the first piece of stationary equipment to incorporate the gym ball into its operation. Cybex has targeted the physical therapy and muscle toning markets for its functional trainer. Schwinn designed the RiPP resistance performing machine to provide individual or group strength and endurance training.
Users pull cables, while standing or sitting on a bench.
The weights are enclosed in the bench. Enthusiasts can perform up to 45 upper and lower body exercises, according to Tracey Harvey, Schwinn spokeswoman. The equipment, due for release next month, will be offered initially in fitness classes similar to certified spinning programs. Instructors are trained in how to blend exercise to music, suggesting ways to achieve a total body workout at all fitness levels. Equipment won't be sold to the health club until the instructor passes the course.
