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.
