Belts and Cables:

• The hoist uses only high-quality belts, and mil-spec cables.

• Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program.
• To be successful in your exercise program, it is important to develop an understanding of the basic principles of strength training. Now that you have your RS-1415-A HOIST® Fitness System, it is only natural that you want to get started immediately. First, determine a set of realistic goals and objectives for yourself. By deciding on an exercise plan that is right for you prior to starting, you will contribute significantly to your success.
