The LiveAxis™ Lat functionally trains the arms, shoulders, and back to work together in pulling and rotational movements. Live-sliding pulleys follow a natural path of movement with progressive resistance and optimum muscle activation. Two independent handles activate both sides of the body at the same time or independently with swinging movements. And because this Freemotion machine requires every moment to be performed in a standing position, it also engages stabilizer muscles to improve core strength and overall balance.
