ParaBody home gym systems such as the GS series and CM series provide a large variety of exercises that you can perform comfortably. The design of the machines allows you to mimic your body’s normal range of motion. Adjusting the machines to execute different exercises is a simple process, thus allowing you to quickly move from one exercise to another.
Close-Grip Machine Chest Press
The close-grip machine chest press builds the triceps of the upper arms, the chest muscles and the front deltoids of the shoulder. Sit facing away from the machine and put your back against the seat. Put your feet down on the ground in front of you. Grab the close-grip handles using an overhand grip. Push the handles out in front of your chest by extending your arms. Do not lock your elbows out. Bring the handles back to the initial point by bending your arms.
Chest-Supported Seated Machine Row
This exercise targets the back muscles, including the lats, teres major and rhomboids. The exercise also targets the biceps muscles of the upper arms. Sit facing toward the machine, place your chest up against the seat, and place your feet on the floor. Hold the two machine handles with an overhand grip. Pull the handles toward the sides of your body by bending your arms and contracting the back muscles. Then extend your arms to return the handles back to the start.
Seated Machine Leg Extension
The machine leg extension is for the quadriceps muscles of the front thighs. Sit facing away from the machine. Put the front part of your lower legs under the leg roll pads. Hold the sides of the seat with your hands for support and put your back up against the seat. Slowly bring the leg roll pads upward by extending your legs, making sure not to lock your knees out at the top of the motion. Then slowly bring the leg roll pads down to the beginning position by bending your legs.
Seated Machine Leg Press Calf Raise
Seated machine leg press calf raises work the calves of the lower legs. Sit facing away from the machine, place your back against the seat, and place the toes of your feet on the foot platform, keeping your heels off the platform. Extend your legs out and keep a slight bend in your knees. This is the starting position of the exercise. Push the platform forward by extending your ankles and contracting the calves. Then return the platform back toward you by bending your ankles until you feel a slight stretch in your calves.
