XMark Functional Trainer XM-7626 | Unparalleled Performance

by

What is a functional trainer anyway? How does it work? The XMark Functional Trainer XM-7626 is a cable machine that uses two independent weight stacks, pulleys, and cables (with handles) to provide unique workout benefits. For over ten years, Functional Trainers have provided unparalleled performance and value. Modern designs offer the latest trend in “user-defined” training methods utilizing multiple muscle groups.

Core stability training can improve balance, coordination, and stability, by efficiently working your body’s stabilizer muscles through a limitless number of exercises; a Functional Trainer offers strength-building results to users of all sizes.

Functional Trainers allow you complete freedom of movement in any direction or plane while performing weight resistance exercises. In addition, there are free activities designed to move the way your body naturally moves. For example, change the angle, resistance, and attachment for various tasks to hit the upper or lower body.

If you’re looking for a commercial-grade cable machine, the XMark Functional Trainer XM-7626 is a model to put on your list. The XM-7626 provides proper iso-lateral-based movements, allowing users various muscle targeting and isolation options. In addition, nineteen different column adjustments will enable the user to customize the trainer to fit their body and actions.

Teeter LT-1 FreeStep Recumbent Cross-Trainer | Zero Impact

by

The Teeter LT-1 FreeStep Recumbent Cross-Trainer, unlike regular recumbent bikes, provides a full-body workout. While we usually get bored after 20 minutes of passive exercise, with the FreeStep by Teeter, you will hardly want to leave the machine.

The Teeter LT-1 has a soft and comfortable adjustable seat accommodating users of all heights. As far as the backrest goes, its well-cushioned and adjustable 3-position reclining feature is adaptable to all users’ sizes. So, you can lean back and do a relaxed cardio workout or lean a bit forward and do a more intense home exercise.

The Teeter exercise machine offers a smooth linear stepping pedal motion. And since it’s not circular, it has less impact on the knees than recumbent bikes. In addition, the pedals are giant and anti-slip with safety edges to keep your feet in place. But what we like the most is the handlebars; they are vertically adjustable to allow all family members to do a low-impact exercise regardless of height.

This recumbent cross-trainer by Teeter features a silent magnetic resistance that simultaneously applies to the handlebars and the pedals. The fact that the resistance refers to the lower and upper body makes this machine much better than expensive similar recumbent bikes that offer pedal resistance only.
