RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

If you want to start seeing results faster, stop using machines to do your strength training (fixed position movements & low intensity). Start using free weights, BOSUs, medicine balls, resistance bands, stability balls, etc. They mimic your everday movements & get the intensity high which is the key!

*The only people using machines for weight training should be:
1) People who've never exercised a day in their life and need to get used to the movements.
2) Body builders looking to isolate specific muscle groups to build mass.
3) People recovering from major injury.
4) Elderly 80yrs old and up.
