Alpha Review I've been using my inversion table for 8
months now, and have really grown to enjoy the benefits. It's become
part of my daily routine. I like to use it when I first get up in the
day, and feel a little stiff and creaky. I spend two minutes on it,
and it really loosens up my back and flexibility. I notice my back no
longer creaks and pops like it used to when turning sideways or
bending over to reach my feet. I know this sounds counter intuitive,
as the best results should be at the end of the day, when your spine
has been compressed all day long.
Maybe
it's old age creeping up on me, but I feel a lot better doing it when
I first get up. It could also be why I don't feel the effects as
dramatically as doing it during the evening. It's also recommended to
use it frequently throughout the day, rather than one long session. I
use it for one minute in the evening, and if I remember, I try to add
more one minute sessions during the day. I've also found that
inverting 180 degrees really doesn't have any additional benefits. I
stopped fully inverting to 180 degrees as it made my head pound, and
my eyeballs feel like they were going to pop out. It was also really
hard on the ankles, as they were supporting my full body weight when
inverted. I found a sweet spot at around 140-150 degrees inverted.
At
this setting, my head and eyes weren't pounding, and it dramatically
reduced the pain and strain on my ankles. I felt absolutely no
benefit being inverted at 180 degrees than at 140-150 degrees. In
fact, at 140-150 degrees, it was much more comfortable, and I didn't
feel like I needed to stop after two minutes. I may try to increase
my workout to three minutes. It's recommended that you can increase
your time inverted up to five minutes. I'm still working on getting
past two minutes. My Teeter Hangups has proven to be rock solid
reliable, with no problems. Nuts and bolts have all remained locked
tight, and there are no squeaks or noises. I must admit, it's a
really heavy duty unit that should hold up to years of use. It did
need a bit of oil on the ankle clamp mechanism, as it started to get
sticky and temperamental. But, after a little bit of oil, it works
like it's on ball bearings. Some like to do exercises while inverted,
such as crunches and twisting movements.
At
my age, I don't want to press my luck, so I'll stick to tried and
true inversion sessions. I haven't had a chance to try out an
inversion chair, but I suspect it won't give you the benefits of an
inversion table. With an inversion chair, you are sitting upside
down, and only your torso and upper body weight are decompressing
your upper body and joints. Your ankles and knees aren't really
getting any benefit from being inverted. If you do a full 180 degree
inversion with the inversion chair, you will experience the same
throbbing eyeballs and pounding in your head. The inversion table
uses your entire body weight to decompress all your joints, giving
you a more extensive workout. Since the exact weight of your body is
compressing all your joints, using your entire body weight inverted
will give it an equal decompression of your joints.

When
shopping for an inversion table, don't be cheap. Spend an extra
$50-$100 over some of the no name bargain inversion tables. If you
can actually go to a store and physically inspect it before buying,
even better yet. Make sure the inversion table you choose is sturdy
enough to support your weight. If it flexes and feels wobbly, don't
purchase it. Serious injury to your head, neck, and back can occur if
the inversion table fails, or tips over. Check the ankle support
system to make sure it's very robust, and not just cheap straps that
hold your ankles with velcro. If they aren't well padded, and hold
your ankles securely, they can remove skin and be a painful
experience. They could also fail when inverted, causing serious
injury if you land on your head or compress your neck and back. The
inversion table has been a great investment, and something I know
I'll be using daily for the rest of my life.
