Why Adaptive Resistance

When it comes to losing fat, burning glycogen in your muscle tissue is essential. During an ARX workout, a lot of glycogen (sugar) is burned during the positive portion of a repetition.

The more force your muscles have to produce, the more glycogen your muscles use. When the body burns large amounts of glycogen, your insulin sensitivity increases, your blood sugar levels lower, and both of these have a direct impact on if your body stores any excess glycogen that is not already in the muscle as fat or not.

In a recent study, the ARX group lost 2.5 times the amount of fat compared to the Weight Lifting group over the course of 12 weeks.

In order to develop new muscle mass, your body must first be exposed to a form of stress that signals to the body the need to develop this new muscle.  

The most useful form of stress signal for developing muscle comes from performing resistance exercise and the quality of the signal depends on the quality of the resistance.

ARX provides the highest-quality resistance available by perfectly loading your muscles during every moment of every set.

When you have perfect, adaptive resistance, you can optimize the stress signals required to develop muscle mass.

In a recent study, the ARX Group gained approximately 2 times the amount of lean mass compared to the Weight Lifting Group over the course of 12 weeks.

The cardiovascular system’s primary function is to pump blood and oxygen to your body's muscles. When your muscles have to produce a lot of force, they need a lot of this blood and oxygen, causing the cardiovascular system to work hard to keep up with this demand.

When you use ARX,  you expose your muscles to very high, but very safe levels of force, the muscles must handle this force which will cause the cardiovascular system to also increase its capacity to match the demand on your muscles.

In short, this means that when you perform high-intensity resistance exercise on ARX, the end-result is that both your muscles and your cardiovascular system will need to improve to handle this new level of demand.

In a recent study, the ARX Group achieved approximately 3.5 times the cardiovascular performance improvement of the Weight Lifting Group over the course of 12 weeks.

In order to increase a muscle's strength, you need to expose that muscle to high levels of mechanical tension (stress) in the form of resistance exercise.

The greater the mechanical tension, the greater the strength improvements, generally.

Since ARX’s Adaptive Resistance can provide you with higher (but safe) levels of mechanical tension on your muscles, your therefore receive superior strength improvements using ARX than most other traditional tools.

In a recent study, the ARX Group achieved 90% greater strength increases than the Weight Lifting Group over the course of 12 weeks.

Using traditional tools like weights, the official recommendation is for you to spend approximately two hours per week performing resistance exercise.

If you wanted to reduce this weekly time commitment, you would need a more effective form of resistance exercise.

ARX’s Adaptive Resistance provides optimal resistance during every moment of every repetition, making it one of, if not the, most effective forms of resistance exercise in existence.

In a recent study, despite spending 72% less time exercising, the ARX Group still achieved 2.5 times greater fat loss, 2 times greater muscle mass gain, 3.5 times greater cardiovascular fitness improvement, and 90% greater strength gains than the Weight Lifting Group over the course of 12 weeks.
