What is variable resistance and how can it provide you with better results?
Sounds very technical, doesn't it? Variable Resistance.
Well, it is actually very simple, yet extremely powerful. In fact, we believe it will change the way you think about working out and more importantly the results you get forever.
Variable resistance means that the FB Gym will adjust the amount of resistance that you receive according to your own bodies needs.
I know that it sounds incredible but the FB Gym will automatically adjust to give you the perfect workout each and every time!
Variable resistance works with your muscles, instead of against them. The variable resistance system works with your muscles using their own natural strength curve.
Let us explain.
All of our muscles have a natural strength curve. During any exercise we perform, there are points in the exercise that our muscles are stronger and there are other points during the exercise where our muscles are weaker. No matter how strong we get, this will always be the case. This is referred to as our muscles natural strength curve.

The graph above shows how the FB Gym adjusts to your body's natural muscle strength curve. During any point during an exercise where you can no longer continue, the FB gym will automatically lower the resistance to allow you to complete the exercise.
The Bottom line - This is how variable resistance will change your body quickly and safely!
It is a well known fact that when you exercise the more effort you exert the better your results. Your body responds to strains placed upon it. It's a fact but it presents a major problem.
When using a tradition, linear system of resistance, like the bow, solo or cross the resistance stays constant throughout the exercise. 50 lbs of resistance remains 50lbs of resistance.
These gyms completely ignore your muscles natural strength curve.
The problem with this is that your muscles do not have the same strength level throughout an entire stroke of an exercise. At certain points during an individual exercise your muscles have less strength than at other points in the exercise.
This is why sticking points occur. Places when during an exercise you just can't continue. If and when you reach a sticking point, you can not complete the exercise.
This prematurely ends your workout, causing insufficient results and possibly injury.
.
The graph above illustrates linear resistance found on gyms like Soloflex® and Bow. Resistance remains constant even though your muscle strength varies throughout the exercise.
The FB Gym resolves this problem.
What if you could finally work smarter instead of harder and get better results?
With the FB Gym, if you reach a sticking point, a point where you can't push any further, the unique cylinders will automatically reduce the resistance and allow you to slowly complete the exercise safely and effectively.
From 25 to 400 lbs of resistance.
As you gather muscle strength through each stroke, the resistance increases to match the force you exert... then as you approach the end of the stroke and exert less force, resistance eases off.
By adjusting to the natural strength curve of your own muscles you will be able to complete more exercises, progressing quicker than you ever thought possible while avoiding injury.
This one feature alone will allow you to obtain more results in less time.
A gym that is smart enough to adjust to the way your muscles need and want to work.
In general, at 21 repetitions per minute, the resistance is adjustable from level 1 at 25 lbs to level 12 at 400 lbs.
To reach the maximum available resistance an additional resistance kit may be purchased. |
