INTRODUCTION What is it? The kBox is a selfcontained, compact exercise platform for various strength movements. It is a flywheel exercise device and uses the physics of inertia and mass acceleration (centrifugal) to provide a high and variable resistance in both the concentric and eccentric* movements of the user.

INTRODUCTION (cont.) Setting Up the kBox The kBox can be attached to the floor if desired. There are attachment holes on each foot. If training without both feet on the kBox is anticipated, the platform must be attached to the floor or weighted down so it cannot move. The Flywheel There are four different weight flywheels included with the kBox giving different rotational inerita.
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 that you through muscle force accelerate and decelerate a flywheel (or flywheels).

FEATURES OF THE KBOX (cont.) Mobility (cont.) Further on, you do not need spotters to be able to do 1 RM (Maximal repetitions). All this is possible with the kBox which weighs about 22 kg (48 lbs) with the flywheels included and it can be carried and transported easily in an ordinary car.The kBox Lite can even be checked in as luggage when flying.
USING THE KBOX Foot Placement Feet are placed differently depending on which exercise you are performing. Make sure drive belt goes smooth into the device and reposition yourself if it goes against the edges or twists. Use short foot support for restricting the stance, allow for lateral push movements or heel support in calf press.
