How to Use Your Machine
Hand Grips and Straps
The hand grips fit snugly around your wrist, ankle, or instep. Attach grips to cables by snapping the cable clip onto the
Standard Grip: Grasp the handle and cuff together to form a grip without inserting your hand through the cuff portion. Most exercises utilize
this grip. The Standard Grip also is used for Hammer Grip exercises, when you need to hold the hand grip vertically for greater wrist support.
Hand Cuff Grip: Slip your hand through the cuff so that the foam pad rests on the back of your hand. Then grasp the remainder of the grip that is sitting in
your palm. This method of gripping is great for exercises like front shoulder raises or any exercise where your palm is facing down.
Ankle Cuff Grip: The cuff opening can be made larger to accommodate the ankle. Simply insert your hand in the cuff and slide it away from the handle.
Insert your foot or ankle and tighten the grip by sliding the handle back toward the cuff.
Arch Cuff Grip: The cuff opening can also fit securely over the arch of your foot. For this grip, insert your foot through the cuff until it is around the arch of your instep, and tighten the cuff around your heel to secure the grip.
Abdominal Crunch Shoulder Harness: Attach the snap hooks to the
arms and grab both handles.
