RESISTANCE CHARTS (SEE NEXT PAGE)
How GTS works:
GTS uses a variable angle incline plane to
create exercise resistance by modifying the
user’s body weight–the steeper the angle, the
more resistance. To determine amount of
resistance being used during an exercise,
simply multiply the user’s body weight by the
appropriate percentage indicated in the chart.
The result of this calculation is the resistance
(force) in pounds or kilograms required to move
the glideboard. When figuring exercises that
incorporate the pulley cables, use 50% of the
charted numbers. Note: Chart is accurate
within a 4% margin of error.
Example:
A 200 lb person using level 3 would be lifting
44 lbs. or 22% of total body weight.
A 95 kg person using level 3 would be lifting
21 kg. or 22% of total body weight.
