Why are calibrated levels of resistance important?
A. Calibrated levels of resistance are necessary to gauge effort and to track progress. Accurate calibration can be reproduced. Accurate means they are true to national and international standards of weights and measures. Athletes who are training for competition want and need to know for certain the amount of resistance in use during exercise. Calibrated resistance is repeatable, on the same machine from one use to the next use, and from one like machine to another. This lets you judge your progress with precision. Resistance on each Total Gym model is calibrated equally from one unit to the next.
