HANG YOUR WAY<br />
TO FITNESS<br />
It seems that wherever I go, there it is, on the TV,<br />
infomercials, advertisements in fitness magazines, on my<br />
Jeep radio waves and even popping up on my cell phone<br />
even though I didn’t ask for it. I am talking about the<br />
Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table.<br />
I took an interest in this because I would like to let it be<br />
known that it’s not all about the relief of back pain, which the<br />
Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table is<br />
known for. I would like to express the<br />
fact that there is some very effective<br />
exercises here due to the fully inverted<br />
position. So I ordered the Teeter Hang<br />
Ups EP-560 LTD Inversion Table<br />
from Amazon.<br />
To speed things up I went for the<br />
one-day shipping. Such a big selection<br />
to choose from. I went with this one<br />
particular model due to its popularity. It<br />
arrived on time. Bill started to put it<br />
together without me saying anything.<br />
My kinda guy! I was ready to give it a try<br />
now with Bill finishing up with the last<br />
minute assembling.<br />
Viewing the full guide it recommends<br />
to start off with the Partial<br />
Inversion stretching exercises first before<br />
going on to the full Inversion stretching<br />
exercises second. I took my shoes off,<br />
kept my socks on and got started. I followed all these stretching<br />
exercises and now I was all charged up and ready to do<br />
the workout exercises.<br />
I started with the inverted crunches. I put my hands<br />
behind my head and lifted up my torso halfway to my knees<br />
as stated. Just with this one exercise alone I had a strong pull<br />
in my stomach area. As I lifted up I knew this Teeter Hang<br />
Ups was going to be a winner. I went to the next exercise,<br />
which is the sit-ups. I placed my hands again behind my head<br />
and did a sit up to my knees.<br />
Since the inverted position makes the sit up difficult, I<br />
By Vicky Waite<br />
find this a great exercise with the scientists claiming that just<br />
by doing one inverted sit up is the same as ten normal sit ups!<br />
Next I’m going for the squats. I followed the directions<br />
telling me to place each hand on the legs of the inversion<br />
frame and to bend my knees. Then I began lifting upwards.<br />
This is like a standing squat with your legs also exercising.<br />
Studies show that exercising while upside down on an<br />
inversion table is very effective and<br />
quite interesting that studies report<br />
it is most effective for the chest<br />
area. Who cares if I look like Don<br />
King back in the 90’s, I am just<br />
having too much fun entertaining<br />
myself on the Teeter Hang Ups<br />
Inversion Table!<br />
I went to search online on the<br />
reviews on joint pain and neck<br />
pain. Interesting enough it goes on<br />
and on review after review on how<br />
it’s great for arthritis, pinched<br />
nerves, stenosis, back pain, herniated<br />
discs, sciatica, and the list goes<br />
on. Whether you choose to use the<br />
Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table<br />
for basic exercises or for pain relief<br />
exercising or for both, all you have<br />
to do is simply set your height,<br />
lock-in, recline and begin your<br />
exercises, lean back and let the gravity do everything for you.<br />
The exercises listed go from beginners to advanced. For<br />
you Yoga lovers out there, yes there is a list of Yoga exercises<br />
too. There are many accessories available you can find online<br />
to add to your Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table.<br />

product! The Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table can turn<br />
