1. Q: Why is your product called "The
Burn Machine"?
A: All human
physical motion is asymmetrical -- endeavors are performed
with some muscle groups working independently of others that
are at rest or in a support mode. Therefore we should exercise
asymmetrically, mimicking all physical endeavors.
After exercising properly with one of the six different Burn
Machine® models, you should notice that the muscle groups
you are working will reach the desired exertion level; the
sensation that some body builders refer to as “the burn."

2. Q: How does The Burn Machine
work?
A: Four
of the six Burn Machine models (Cross Trainer Burn Machine(s);
Universal Burn Machine; Ultimate Burn Machine) have a center bar
with our patented sliding Asymmetrical Burn Counterweight that
can be positioned either to the right, left, or center of the
center bar.
This changes your body’s center of gravity and places it in an
asymmetrical position simultaneously engaging the use of core
muscles the entire length of your workout.

3. Q: How many exercise can you do
with The Burn Machine?
A:
The exercises that may be performed are limited only to your
imagination. The design of the units make it possible to do a
total body workout including movements such as bicep curls,
tricep extensions, variations of rowing exercises, lunges,
squats and much, much more. The Cross Trainer, Universal and
Ultimate models unique patented Asymmetrical Burn Counterweight
makes it possible to engage your core while performing other
exercises, hence "killing two birds with one stone!"

4. Q: What are the
differences among the six models?
A:
Each of the six Burn Machines are sleekly designed
and constructed from the high-quality materials. Additionally,
each has 360-degree rotational handgrips that are ergonomically
designed to accommodate your wrists, hands, and fingers without
placing undo strain on them.
All models are portable and come with
carrying case that easily hangs from your shoulder.
-
The Speed Bag is
our smallest model and is extremely portable. It was
designed for high repetitious exercises as well as aerobic
activity. This unit promotes joint flexibility and mobility,
strengthens ligaments and tendons, and is used for muscular
endurance training. It may also be used as an additional
tool for physical rehabilitation and can easily accommodate
those in wheelchairs. With two models to choose from,
Intermediate Speed
Bag model #006 weighing in at 8lbs and the
Speed Bag Pro
model #005 weighing in at 12lbs, you can select the perfect
size for your goals and level of fitness .
-
The Cross Trainer
has an asymmetrical
counter weight system and is available in two models: the
Intermediate Cross Trainer model #004 weighing 12lbs and the
Cross Trainer Pro model #003 weighing 20lbs. This barbell
system is designed to engage your core while performing
various exercises by simply sliding the counterweight to one
side. Not only will this increase the weight load on the
side containing the counterweight working that muscle
grouping more, simultaneously the opposing abdominals and
back muscles immediately engage hence working your core. The
rotating handles allow for easy transitions from one
exercise to the next without ever setting the unit down.
These units are not plate loaded. Official Burn Machine
Stand® included.
-
The Universal Burn Machine
is our plate loaded version of the Cross Trainer units with
all same functionality and versatility but with the ability
to add resistance. The center bar extends beyond the length
of the Cross Trainer and weighs in at 24lbs as is without
weights. You may add your own weights or purchase our
patented low-profile crescent weights for added resistance
training. This unit holds up to 200lbs. Official Burn
Machine Stand® included.
-
The Ultimate Burn Machine
model #008
is our fully loaded barbell system weighing in at 48lbs.
Simply stated, it is the Universal Burn Machine with an
additional 24lbs of our low- profile crescent patented
weights. This unit has the same versatility and
functionality as the cross trainer and universal models. You
receive six 4lb crescent weights which allow you to do sets
with just the bar at 24 lbs and up to 48lbs crescent plate
loaded. Again, you may add your own personal round weights
for additional resistance up to 200lbs. Official Burn
Machine® Stand included.

5. Q: What are the benefits of using
The Burn Machine?
A:
Simply put: you should
earn greater results for less effort. In our case more burn with
fewer repetitions, thus a shorter workout with greater caloric
loss. Stress on the body's muscles should make them stay
stronger. If you don't use them, they tend to atrophy. Stress
means exertion, and exertion means caloric loss.
Plus, you'll develop more muscle and tendon
strength. Each model was ergonomically designed to accommodate
the user's hands and wrists.

6. Q: Tell me why The Burn Machine
models have such designs.
A:
Each of the six Burn
Machine models are shorter than a normal barbell and feature a
flatter profile. They were designed to always be within arm's
reach, not hidden in basements, garages, closets, or under
beds.
Some owners consider their Burn Machine
functional art that they proudly display in their office or home
so it's readily accessible for a quick workout between business
meetings, during calls, or while watching television.
Additionally, the Speed Bag and Cross Trainer
Burn Machines are highly portable, enabling these models to be
easily carried in gym bags, briefcases, duffle bags, or one of
the heavy-duty nylon Burn Machine carrying cases.

7. Q: How strong can I really get by
using The Burn Machine?
A:
As you exercise in the
asymmetric mode, your abdominal muscles and oblique muscles are
always under tension, working to retain your body's center of
gravity. You should develop powerful abdominal muscles without
ever straining your back or spine.

|
8. Q: Will The Burn Machine work my
abdominal muscles?
A:
Absolutely! Exercising
in the asymmetrical position, your leg muscles engage to
maintain your body's center of gravity. Working out with a Burn
Machine is just like hiking up a steep mountain incline with all
muscles working asymmetrically with each step.

|
9. Q: Why are the Burn Machine
System's weights designed in a crescent shape?
A:
The crescent weights
prevent rotation and retain a closer center of gravity. Their
shape also enables the Burn Machine to retain a flat profile for
easy storage.

10. Q: Okay, so a Burn Machine will
work my abs and obliques. What about my lower body, like my
quads?
A:
Absolutely! Exercising
in the asymmetrical position, your leg muscles engage to
maintain your body's center of gravity. Working out with a Burn
Machine is just like hiking up a steep mountain incline with all
muscles working asymmetrically with each step.

11. Q: How does The Burn Machine
system help people who are in rehabilitation?
A:
First, check with your
physician. One of the best ways to heal the body is to exercise
it in an asymmetrical mode. With the sliding counter weight on
our Burn Machine, people in physical rehabilitation can work
various damaged muscle groups independently with the support of
both hands.
