Bodyweight Machines

What are bodyweight machines and what makes them different from other gym machines?

Bodyweight machines are common in many gym environments and are very different from weight stack machines due to the fact that the only resistance that you are dealing with is your own bodyweight combined with gravity. Among the many exercises that can be done with bodyweight machines, the most popular include abdominal crunches, back extensions and glute ham raises. Increased weight and resistance can be added by wearing weighted vests and grasping either dumbbells or weight plates while performing the exercises. At Fitness Equipment Ireland, we carry a large selection of bodyweight machines for home or commercial settings they are the perfect pieces of equipment to round out your home or commercial gym.
