The user of this machine puts on the magnetic vest (pictured here in black). The vest easily slips over the user’s head and magnets on the side click the vet together and hold it securely in place. The user walks over to the black control panel and uses the buttons to adjust how much resistance the user wants. The higher the resistance, the harder the workout the user will have. Once the resistance level is chosen, the user steps in the middle of the machine (the green floor) and proceeds to do squats. The machine should give users a workout similar to squatting with a bar, but this machine is more user friendly for people with one arm who find it difficult to hold bars.
