What is the COR-XT Functional Trainer?
The COR-XT® Functional Trainer is a multi-use functional device that is designed to increase the engagement of one’s proprioceptors during a movement and help improve one’s kinesthetic awareness. Its functionality is immense, it is unprecedented with the variety it offers for strengthening, core stabilization, balance, and proprioception.
The unique design enables the user to operate using multi-plane resistance (MPR) to help engage multiple secondary muscles uniquely throughout movement, while the primary muscle group fires to accomplish the movement. Resistance is attached on the COR-XT® Functional Trainer Foundation away from the human point of contact. This creates a feeling of instability, which in turn causes the body to react to the instability, thereby increasing the recruitment of secondary muscles to activate.
