🔍 Description

This is predominantly a cardiovascular machine which exercises both the upper and lower body. It helps to shape and strengthen the deltoids and larger muscle groups of the upper back whilst also improving posture.

It involves alternate ‘lateral pulldown’ and ‘shoulder press’ exercises that target the upper body muscles (such as the deltoids, located in the shoulders).

The leg movements help to shape the buttocks, as well as strengthen the leg and thigh muscles.
