The BodyKore Pendulum Squat is the ideal machine for users with lower back pain and knee mobility issues.  The angle of a pendulum squat takes the strain off the lower back and knees and really targets the quadriceps, glutes and hamstrings.  The user is laying in a 45 degree angle so the weight distribution is taken off the body joints and placed mainly on the hinge of the machine.  The user then swings down like a pendulum and presses the weight back up with the muscles previously mentioned. 

The BodyKore Pendulum Squat is a commercial grade machine with a weight rating of 1000lbs.  There are dual loading pegs that can hold up to (5) 45lb plates on each side (total of 10 plates!).  There is a hinged latch for the user to unhook when starting the exercise and two starting points for users of different heights.  The foot plate also adjusts in 5 different angles to target different muscles in the legs.  There is also a safety peg that prevents the user from collapsing from failure.
