WHY IS 3D RESISTANCE IMPORTANT?
It is the base which separates the FASTrainer program from other types of conventional exercise. The FASTrainer recognized limitations in conventional exercise machines. They recognized two basic patterns:
1. Traditional static gym machines allow for little variance in body type and tend to “lock” the user into a pattern which may or may not be effective for their particular needs. They also tend to isolate one muscle group from the normal sequencing of proper kinetic movement chains.
2. In conventional free weight or elastic tubing systems, the user will typically stray to the easiest line of pull which again may or may not be appropriate to their end goal. If preset lines of pull which actually feel right to the exerciser are then reinforced by work against resistance, the improper patterns become ingrained. This not only trivializes the time and effort put into workouts, but also can potentially lead to injury. The FASTrainer developers have created a system where each exercise is performed in a biomechanically correct, efficient, and safe manner by the use of multiple cords attached to the ergonomic base. The cords guide the user through the correct range of motion by creating a force vector which is the sum of the individual vectors derived from each of the resistance cords. This is a principle from Physics which means that two or more forces coming from different directions can be added into one force coming from its own direction. While this can be understood from a scientific perspective, it is a principle best appreciated by performing an exercise on the FASTrainer and then detaching one of the cords and feeling the difference
WHAT MAKES THE PLATFORM ERGONOMIC?
Ergonomic is defined as “designed for correct use by the human body.” The FASTrainer base has been created with a variety of angles. These have been designed from height differentials from front to back and from outside to inside. The effect of these angles is twofold:
1. The angles on the standing platform enable the user to assume an anatomically correct position from where they can isolate the deep core muscles for all exercises, even those not specifically dedicated to the core. These agles also position the user to most effectively isolate the specific muscle group which is being targeted by the exercise being performed.
2. All FASTrainer exercises employ more than one resistance cord (another patentable feature) and the ergonomic base is the engine for that. Use of multiple resistance cords which attach to points on the base around the outside of the exerciser at different heights and from different angles to the user creates the ideal line of pull for the target muscle to be working most effectively.
WHAT TYPE OF RESISTANCE IS CREATED BY THE 3D SYSTEM?
As much as the correct line of pull was critically important in the development of the FASTrainer system, it was soon discovered that another important benefit of the 3D resistance was the creation of “isokinetic resistance.” Isokinetic resistance is best defined as a “consistent resistance throughout the entire range of motion of an exercise.” That means that the FASTrainer system allows for the resistance to maintain itself through each exercise so that the entire muscle is exercised throughout each repetition. The correct force vector utilizes the correct amount of resistance from each cord at the appropriate time. This is unavailable from one cord systems and is lost to momentum in a free weight system.
ANY OTHER INTERESTING FEATURES?
One of the most interesting features of the FASTrainer is the attached mirror. This also serves more than one important function:
1. All exercisers enjoy seeing themselves as they work out. Think about how local gyms all have their walls lined with mirrors. The mirror can be used both to admire your new shape and look but is also very important in determining that you are using correct form.
2. The FASTrainer developers recognized the value in the exerciser maintaining a stable position as they worked out. Straps and external posts and blocks were found to be too cumbersome and ineffective. They found that a mirror was the perfect solution as it subtly but effectively guided and reinforced posture and positioning.
