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 exercises.
Instruct users to confine all activities to smooth movements. Aggressive exercises that involve a lot of body movement
could cause the DEX to tip over resulting in serious injury or death.
Traction Stretch - Push
• Hang fully inverted and relax.
• Firmly push against the Traction Handles located at the side of the Lap Pad.
Alternative: Traction Stretch - Pull
• Hang fully inverted and relax.
• Place your elbows under the Cane Shaped Handles and gently push against the
Handles.
Helpful Hints: Stretch, hold 10 seconds and release, repeating several times to
achieve the desired stretch. Relax and breathe deeply.
Back Extensions
• Hang fully inverted with hands crossed on your chest or folded behind your head.
• Tighten glutes and back and lift torso up slowly into extension. Make sure to keep
abdominal muscles engaged to support spine while extended.
• While the DEX is designed to reduce the chance of hyperextension, it is important
that you perform this exercise in a slow and controlled manner. DO NOT use body
momentum for the extension or extend past parallel with the floor.
Alternative: Back Extensions - Rotation
• Slightly rotate your torso when extending to work the back extensors and external
oblique abdominal muscles.
Helpful Hints: Extend, hold and release, repeating as desired to meet your
workout goals.
Abdominal Crunches
• Hang fully inverted with hands crossed on your chest or folded behind your head.
• Contract your abdominal muscles, crunching inward toward the support posts.
Alternative: Abdominal Crunch - Rotation
• Slightly rotate your torso when crunching to work the rectus abdominus and
external oblique muscles.
Helpful Hints: Contract, hold and release, repeating as desired to meet your work-
out goals.

joint decompression
