BALANCING THE INVERSION TABLE
The inversion table is like a very sensitively balanced fulcrum. It responds to very slight changes in weight
distribution. So it is very important to make sure that the height is adjusted properly. To do this, mount the
inversion table, lock your ankles into the heel holders, and lie back straight with your hands on the
handlebars. Slowly allow yourself to tilt back with your hands lightly gripping the handles bars right above
your waist. While in this position, your head should still be slightly above your feet. If your feet are above
your head, increase the boom height by an inch (Example: Increase the boom height from 5’6” to 5’7”), and
repeat the balancing steps above. Increase the boom height until your head is slightly above your feet.
USING THE INVERSION TABLE
1. Start by lying straight back on the backrest with your hands gripped on both handlebars. See
Fig. 1.
2. Relax your grip slightly on the handlebars, and allow yourself to slowly tilt back. Your head
should be slightly above your feet when in this position until you are ready to start inverting, as
described in the BALANCING THE INVERSION TABLE section above. See Fig. 2.
3. To start inversion, slowly lift one hand over your head while still gripping a handlebar with the
opposite hand. See Fig. 3.
4. To increase the degree of inversion further, slowly lift your other arm off the handlebars and
rotate it above your head so that both arms are hanging freely. See Fig. 4.
5. Return to the upright position by slowly returning your hands to your waist and pulling yourself
up with the handlebars.
