How to Use Soloflex

Soloflex home exercise machines and equipment uses, essentially, pulleys and levers to create weight and resistance exercises that require specific, controlled movements. You can use a number of ways to plan your most effective Soloflex workout, and most equipment sets are packaged with a DVD that contains suggested exercises for all different fitness levels. However, doing a squat is a great starter move that anyone can master on the Soloflex, even right out of the box.
