Literally a couple of minutes in the morning and in the evening can make a huge difference in how you feel. Perform rotational twists, back extensions and abdominal curls. Build strength and improves flexibility for the back, neck, shoulders and stomach. Absolutely Amazing!
The Teeter Hang Ups Dex II hold the user in a 90/90 position, which is the optimum position for decompression. The user is in a body position relevant to gravity that maximizes decompression. It also maximizes muscle performance during back extensions while helping to prevent hyperextension.
The unique design reduces any load on the ankles unlike inversion tables. The Dex II actually reduces the load on the hamstrings by placing the knees in the relaxed 90° position, rather than forcing less-effective, straight-legged exercises.
* Convenient features: Lower handles provide support for user-controlled rotation; serve as useful resistance tools for stretching.
* Sturdy Lap Support: Holds the user in a fixed 90/90 position for a variety of inverted stretches and exercises.
* Adjustable Leg Supports: Locking knob allows adjustment for maximum comfort and security.
* A unique solution for stretching the lower back: Offers increased decompression of the spine to maximize effectiveness.
* Convenient features: Lower handles provide support for user-controlled rotation; serve as useful resistance tools for stretching.
* Sturdy Lap Support: Holds user in fixed 90/90 position for inverted stretches and exercises.
* Adjustable Leg Supports: Locking knob allows adjustment for maximum comfort and security.
* Corner feet: Provides stability, prevent sliding and protect floors.
* Washable Padded Vinyl Mat: Quality materials are durable and easy to clean.
* Quality Construction: Sturdy square steel tube design.
* High Quality Finish: Durable powder-coating ensures scratch-resistance.
Millions of working days are lost due to back pain and injury. It's the leading cause for absenteeism from work. Beneficial for employees in all types of roles. Whether at a desk, using machinery, lifting duties, or car bound, Inversion can help. In professions where fitness is vitally important, Bent Knee Inversion is a must.
Injury to the back is caused by poor posture and the spine being ill prepared to perform repetitive or strenuous movements. Using the Dex II prepares the back for these tasks by a series of simple exercises, which result in a healthy and stronger back. Less than two minutes a day will help.

Spin Cycling & Decompression

The Pre-spin inversion sequence:
1. Straight hang for 15 seconds.
2. Spinal twist to opposite lower bars for 7 seconds each side.
3. Back hyper-extension for 10 seconds.
4. C-curl toward center mast for 10 seconds.
5. Return to standing position slowly, with deep exhalations.
The Post-spin inversion sequence:
1. Straight hang with arms out in front, palms pressing on lower bars or all the way to the floor for 30 seconds.
2. Back hyper-extension for 15 seconds.
3. C-curl toward center mast for 15 seconds.
4. Return to standing position slowly, with deep exhalations.
Using your Dex II:
* Decompression of the entire spine.
* Release sacro-iliac and lumbo-sacral ligaments.
* Activates thoracic outlets to improve myolymphatic drainage during exercise.
* Releases gravitational stress on existing body structure habit patterns.
* Releases stagnant venous return blood in small veins and capillaries in lower extremities.
* Lengthens quadriceps and hamstring muscles (legs parallel to floor position).
* Activates cranio-sacral respiratory mechanism (CSRM) - this primes the cellular physiology to be more effective during cardiovascular exercise.
* Decompresses the discs and nerve root spacings in the spine.
* Restores elasticity to the upper third of the lung for greater oxygen uptake.
* Increases blood and oxygen to the brain and cranial cavity, assuring that one is more alert and ready to focus on the exercise class.
* Improves the elimination of cellular waste products, including carbon dioxide and lactic acid.
Disclaimer: As with any fitness program, people should consult with their medical advisor before beginning inversion therapy. In general, contra indications for inversion are for health problems related to eye pressure, heart or circulatory problems, spinal injury, or bone weaknesses or fractures.
