Depending upon the users’ current fitness level and goals, you may want to introduce them to advanced inversion exercises on
the DEX
TM
. Proper form is key for effective stretching and strengthening, and that is why it is essential that users receive
adequate training from staff members before attempting the following:
Traction Stretch - Push
• Instruct the users to hang fully inverted and relax.
• Using the traction handles located at the side of the lap pad for leverage, ask them to firmly push against the handles.
• Alternative: Traction Stretch - Pull. Ask the users to place their elbows under the cane shaped handles and gently push
against the handles.
• Helpful Hints: Stretch, hold and release, repeating as many times as necessary to achieve their desired stretch. Ask the
users to relax and breathe deeply.
Back Extensions
• The users should hang fully inverted with their hands crossed on their chest or folded behind their head.
• Instruct the users to use a slow, controlled movement to extend their torso to a position parallel with the ground. Warn the
user against using body momentum for the extension, risking hyperextension and possible back injury.
• Alternative: Back Extension - Rotation. To work their lower lateral and oblique muscles, instruct them to slightly rotate their
torso when extending.
• Helpful Hints: Extend, hold and release, repeating as desired to meet their workout goals. Ask the users to breathe in during
the extension and out on the release.
Abdominal Crunches
• The users should hang fully inverted with their hands crossed on their chest or folded behind their head.
• Instruct the users to contract their abdominal muscles, crunching inward toward the support posts.
• Alternative: Abdominal Crunch - Rotation. To work their abdominal and oblique muscles, instruct them to slightly rotate their
torso when crunching.
• Helpful Hints: Contract, hold and release, repeating as desired to meet their workout goals.
