    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.
  • Page 6 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).

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.
