The Best of Both Worlds

If you are new to weight training, you probably started off with a program using exercise machines that rely on a fixed range of motion. You may want to move on to free weights but still feel unsure of how to do this effectively. You can take an intermediate step by using weight machines that have cables and movable levers. These machines force multiple muscle groups to work together which reflects more accurately the body movements in real life. This will allow you the ability to go through a greater range of motion with the safety of using a machine. Once your increase your strength and balance, you can then move on to using free weights without worry.
