The pulley-like device consists of a bar attached to an elasticated band. As it can be fixed in different directions and at different heights, it offers many possibilities - according to the manufacturer, more than a hundred different exercises are possible. The athlete works with their arms and upper body against the resistance of the bands. Depending on the exercise, this works many muscles at the same time. Most exercises involve the abdomen and back.
The so-called Metabolic Workout, which is described on the included DVD, is also said to enable fat burning and strength endurance training. An exercise booklet, door hooks and a transport bag are also included.
When I tried them out, the exercises were easy to learn and reached the muscle groups indicated. However, if you just want to work a little on your body stability, you don't need such a sophisticated and expensive device - a Theraband does a similar job.
