Yet, when it comes to <strong>adaptability and versatility<\/strong>, the humble <strong>cable training machine<\/strong> is often overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>At EVO, we believe that cable training machines offer a <strong>superior training experience<\/strong> compared to fixed resistance machines &#8211; one that offers many training benefits, and also reconnects your body with the immediate environment. This why we decided to make cable machines such as <strong>Kinesis<\/strong> and <strong>Free Motion<\/strong>, an integral <strong>part of our <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/training\/\">club design<\/a><\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/training-philosophy\/\">training philosophy<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Functional applications<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Cable\u00a0machines come in many different varieties<\/strong> \u2013 single\/dual pulleys; height-adjustable\u00a0grips; different\u00a0handles and attachments; and seated vs. standing models.\u00a0But they all have one thing in common \u2013 they allow you to <strong>mimic movements\u00a0you perform in everyday life<\/strong>, for example, bending, lifting, pushing, pulling and twisting.\u00a0When you train these movements in a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/evomove\/\">skillful, purposeful and playful<\/a><\/span> way,\u00a0not only will you get fitter,\u00a0you will\u00a0also\u00a0improve your\u00a0movement\u00a0efficiency and reduce your risk of injury when you\u2019re outside the gym.<\/p>\n<h2>5 Benefits of cable training<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at some of the benefits of training with cables, especially in the context of r<strong>ehabilitation, functional strength and sports performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cables allow for movement in multiple planes of motion. This means you can replicate natural movements including squatting, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/tutorial-kinesis-station-step-up\/\">stepping<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/exercise-of-the-week-kinesis-station-deadlift\/\">bending<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/tutorial-kinesis-station-overhead-press\/\">pushing<\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/exercise-of-the-week-kinesis-row\/\">pulling <\/a><\/span>and twisting. Performing these movements on a regular basis, and under load <strong>will build natural strength, mobility and control<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Unlike fixed resistance machines, cable machines<strong> adapt to your particular range of motion<\/strong>. If you have limited range of motion (due to stiffness or injury), then you can continue to work within your functional range.This versatility allows\u00a0you\u00a0to train alongside imbalances and injuries.<\/li>\n<li>The naturally unstable nature of cable machines places <strong>high demands on the muscles that stabilize your joints, including those around your core<\/strong>.\u00a0This is known as <strong>reflexive stabilization<\/strong> and helps to make\u00a0joints stronger and more reactive to the demands of everyday life.<\/li>\n<li>The reactive nature of cable machines will also require <strong>lower loads compared to fixed resistance machines<\/strong>. This means you can still train as part of injury rehabilitation without sacrificing volume.<\/li>\n<li>Cable machines that allow you train in <strong>standing positions<\/strong> will force you to recruit <strong>almost every muscle in the body<\/strong>, turning most movements into whole-body exercises. Whole body exercises will make you work harder and also\u00a0bring about a strong cardiovascular response.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>If you are new to resistance training, then cable machines will not only meet your strength and fitness goals, they will also <strong>bridge the gap to\u00a0progressive functional training<\/strong>.\u00a0By starting on a cable machine program, you will quickly gain the strength, control and confidence to try other training methods, such as suspension training, plyometrics and bodyweight training.\u00a0As an experienced exerciser,\u00a0try mixing up your functional workouts with the addition of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/workout-of-the-month-kinesis-core-workout\/\">cable exercises<\/a><\/span>. Just remember there are no rules \u2013 in addition to performing skillful sports-specific movements, try also <strong>adding an element of play<\/strong> to your cable exercises and <strong>explore new movements<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction When we think of a typical gym workout, we often visualize cardio machines, free weights, bodyweight training, fixed resistance&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":43024,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"Train the EVO Way: 5 Cable Training Benefits | EVO Fitness|Train the EVO Way: 5 Cable Training Benefits | EVO Fitness","_seopress_titles_desc":"We believe that cable training machines offer a superior training experience compared to fixed resistance machines.
