Stronger muscles move faster than weaker muscles.
Over the past 15 years, Wayne Wescott, Ph.D., director of fitness at the YMCA in Quincy, Mass., has researched the benefits of Nautilus machines. He has found that Nautilus machines provide constant resistance through the entire exercise movement, strengthening your muscles at every angle. Dr. Wescott also notes that Nautilus exercises help to stretch your muscles through a full range of motion, providing a flexibility component to your weight-training program. Nautilus is user-friendly and each machine is designed with an adjustable seat to fit most people. You simply slip a pin into the weight stack and you're good to go.
