Page 5: Features Of The Kbox
FEATURES OF THE KBOX Principle of the kBox The kBox is a flywheel exercise device, often referred to as an FWED. What muscle is being exercised depends on which exercise is being performed. The principle is through muscle force you accelerate and decelerate a flywheel (or flywheels). - Page 6 With tall people, people with a weak core, or with back problems, squatting is almost impossible or accompanied with a lot of discomfort or pain. With the kBox you are able to work out maximally or closer to maximum intensity since the harness equalizes the pressure over the shoulders and reduces the pressure on the lumbar spine.
