Introduction

The Body Solid EXM1500S home gym contains three different stations that work out all major parts of your body including upper body, lower body and abdominal area.

The Body Solid EXM1500S begins with a Lat Pulldown system utilizing a High-Pulley Station. Hold-down pads keep your body in place allowing you to lift your body weight and more. An added bonus is this type of exercise also strengthens back muscles.

The Mid-Pulley Station concentrates on strength training for those problem abdominal areas. The specific design of the EXM1500S firms and flattens your entire abdominal area.

Body Solid’s EXM1500S also includes the Lower-Pulley Station which again develops strong back muscles. The swivel feature of the station gives more accurate results for curls, rows and shrugs.

Home Gym Workouts

The Body Solid EXM1500S home gym includes six primary stations with over 30 alternatives to strengthen your whole body.

Use the lat pulldown to work triceps and cable crossovers. Flatten and firm your mid-section with variations of abdominal crunches.

Develop strong hamstrings using the leg extension. The pivot point feature provides correct body positioning for natural movement.

Chest press your way to distinct muscle tone in chest and triceps using the multi-position handgrips attached to the Chest Press Station.

Finish off with cable curls, rows and shrugs.

Body Solid EXM1500S Features
