TRUE VALUE<br />
An exerciser’s upper body gets equal treatment on the CSX<br />
elliptical trainer, according to its manufacturer, True Fitness.<br />
Designed to provide a total-body workout on a single<br />
machine, the unit features proprietary side steps that allow<br />
users to step off the foot skates and drive the machine using<br />
only their upper body. This allows for three distinct<br />
workout experiences: isolated upper body, isolated<br />
lower body and combined upper and lower<br />
body. The CSX is driven by the patented<br />
Core Drive system, which sits directly<br />
below the user in the center<br />
of the exercise motion —<br />
making for natural, biomechanically<br />
correct<br />
movements. Additionally,<br />
the Mix3 program takes users<br />
through a random series of exercises, and<br />
the machine uses 30 percent less floor space<br />
than a traditional elliptical, the company says.<br />

STRETCHING OUT<br />
Designed in collaboration with doctors and physiotherapists, FLEXability is Technogym’s first foray into equipment designed for<br />
stretching. The line boasts anterior and posterior machines and targets the main muscle groups of the core and lower body, making<br />
stretching an enjoyable and comfortable activity, the<br />
company says. Based on an innovative technological<br />
system called Selflex, FLEXability enables users to<br />
gently modulate the extent of muscle elongation by<br />
gradual and proportional intervention of the user’s<br />
own body weight. For example, the anterior machine<br />
maintains the correct position of the spine and core<br />
and provides a modulated lengthening of the anterior<br />
muscle chain, while the posterior machine enables a<br />
soft and progressive lengthening of muscles.<br />

The Functional Training Board from Power<br />
Systems is designed to develop core muscles<br />
and kinesthetic awareness. The multiplanar<br />

levels to perform exercises while standing,<br />
sitting or lying down. To enhance sport-specific<br />
workouts, tubing, medicine balls, weighted<br />
bars and dumbbells also may be incorporated.<br />
