For the first time to the market is the amazing WallSlide™ by HacBack®. This innovative slimline squat machine simply attaches to the wall to create a very compact capable exercise machine, and with the use of resistance bands can create a maximum total lifting weight of just under 100kg. The backrest itself weighs in at just under 20kg, this plus an additional 80kg from additional resistance bands can incrementally add up to just under 100kg above your individual body weight. The WallSlide™ not only has the ability to add weight incrementally for resistance training but also with its unique design has the ability to reduce the weight of the individual incrementally with the help of assistance bands - in fact you can adjust the assistance band settings so that you could have an assistance lift of up to 40kg or more simply by adding bands. (Please Note. The WallSlide™ is fitted with only one resistance band and one assistance band. If you wish to create more resistance or assistance then you need to add more bands which can be purchased in the "products" section below. The process for this is in the "Installation and Safety Guide.")
This assistance feature is excellent in rehabilitation applications where there is a real need for assisted movement initially before changing to resistance or strength training applications. Also because the WallSlide™ is mounted firmly to a wall, it provides a static movement where stability for the user is helpful while exercising perhaps an injury. This gives the individual lateral stability so they can focus on the injury without having to balance which can be necessary for a safe and stable movement. (Please Note. Always ensure you exercise in accordance with your professional exercise adviser to ensure correct movement and that this exercise machine is best suited for you.
Another fantastic application of the WallSlide™ is where - because of its vertical slimline nature you can simply just walk up to it and fit naturally into position ready for exercise, this makes it excellent for quick transitioning from one exercise machine to another where perhaps time is of the essence. The WallSlide™ also has easy to change resistance and assistance bands located where it is easy to alter the resistance or assistance via the bands quickly as desired. This makes it excellent for high intensity group sessions where multiple users are frequently changing exercise machines or stations at pace. Because there are no individual weights to contend with, everything is at your fingertips for the quick change of the resistance or assistance required for the individual person. Everything is tucked away nicely and is firmly located behind the backrest with no loose parts.
The HacBack® WallSlide™ is essentially a Hack Squat in a standing position with a backrest so that you can rest your back against it as you do leg squats. As you lean back you can keep your back straight and under less stress as your legs do the work not your back. The reason I created the WallSlide™ was because my back would hurt doing barbell squats and as the quads are the largest muscle group in the body with the potential to burn a lot of calories, I still wanted to do squats on a regular basis. The WallSlide™ gives you an amazing squat with a localized emphasis on the quads, the ability to strengthen the quads and tone legs efficiently, the benefit of easy fast transitioning from station to station, a stable static movement and an incredible range of assistance to resistance training which makes the WallSlide™ a fantastic choice in any situation.
As already mentioned above the WallSlide™ has the added bonus of an assistance application which can help a person become lighter the lower they go into the squat so that it helps lift you back out of the squat in a stable supported position, this can allow strength building to become better over time. When you have gained a little more movement and strength, just change a band setting to reduce the lift for extra resistance as you slowly strengthen. The WallSlide™ is also a fantastic choice if you are a little older and need assistance to start exercising your legs. Because of this feature, along with the static movement because the WallSlide™ is fixed firmly to the wall, it will help you feel safe and secure as less balancing is required. The WallSlide™ has 2 sturdy handles for you to hold on to while exercising to ensure good stability. (Please Note. Always progress slowly under supervision of your professional exercise advisor ensuring that this exercise machine is best suited for you.)
