Total Gym RS LEX™

The Recovery Series LEX™ (Lower EX-tremity) allows for faster lower extremity recovery, from post-surgery to explosive training, in a safe and progressive manner. Users work with a percentage of their own bodyweight to perform a squat or a jump, leveraging both linear bodyweight resistance and variable band resistance.

The RS LEX™ supports the spine during traditional squat exercises to comfortably control the descending and ascending phases of a squat or jump, while providing an opportunity for advanced variations including, single-leg squats and staggered stance squats. The included Slide Distance Regulator allows for a customized rolling distance of the glide board based on an individual's strength and mobility. 

Item #: 5900-03

Benefits

Benefits for the individual exerciser:

  • Designed for intuitive use and success in performing squats and squat jump exercises
  • Increases explosive power and joint flexibility
  • Increases vertical jump
  • Provides both concentric and eccentric muscle contractions
  • Strengthens all the muscles of the lower body
  • Allows for plyometric, jumping movements which provide a cardio workout
  • Ability to perform multiple squat variations
  • Enhanced functional performance of daily activities and increased athleticism
  • Exercises can be progressed or regressed to accommodate all fitness levels
  • Eccentric loading trains muscles/tendons to efficiently store and recover energy during jump exercise movements
  • Eccentric contractions results in a protective adaptation in the muscles, protecting them from damage.

Training applications and biomechanics:

  • Closed-chain partial loading of the joints
  • Platform provides option for multiple foot positions
  • Provides both concentric and eccentric loading
  • Ability to adjust range of motion
  • Option to train using only bodyweight
  • Option to add band variable resistance for increased eccentric force
  • Reliable tool for assessing lower body strength.

Features

  • Adjustable incline design allows for partial bodyweight squats
  • Offers both linear bodyweight resistance and band variable resistance
  • Four latex resistance bands allow for an additional 10-70 lbs resistance in 10lb increments
