About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

The Fitnex B-70 is a stylish exercise bicycle for professional light commercial use. This fitness device boasts self-generating power and 8 built-in programs with 16 levels of resistance. Feedback includes time, work level, watts, distance, speed, METs, heart rate and calories.

Stamina 55-1539 Therapy Inversion System

Stamina 55-1539 Therapy Inversion System Review



Stamina 55-1539 Therapy Inversion System Feature

  • Therapy inversion system with multi-position frame for reducing stress symptoms
  • Pair of easy-to-reach foam-padded handlebars; patented Pellicle mesh bed conforms to the body
  • Pair of invert/return handlebars for inverting to any angle and returning to start
  • Curved, foam-padded ankle collars; adjustable 3-position footbar; compact footprint
  • Attractive pewter-colored frame; chrome height-adjustment beam; 5-year warranty
The multiple-benefit Stamina 55-1539 therapy inversion system uses the same method that many hospitals and doctors use to reduce pressure on spinal discs, ligaments, and nerve roots while also increasing blood circulation, strengthening the back, and elongating the spine. Inversion therapy is natural and noninvasive, and helps counteract the daily stress that contributes to a stiff back and neck.

The system is outfitted with a patented Pellicle mesh bed that conforms to the body while facilitating air circulation, along with a pair of invert/return assist handlebars, which make it a breeze to invert to any angle and return to the starting position. The leg- lock system, meanwhile, holds the ankles securely without restricting them. Other details include an extended, easy-to-reach handle on the leg mechanism; curved, foam-padded ankle collars for added comfort and support; a chrome height-adjustment beam; an adjustable three-position footbar; and an attractive pewter-colored frame. The therapy inversion system, which folds into a compact footprint for storage, is backed by a five- year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on all other parts.

About Inversion Tables
Back pain is an uncomfortable and cumbersome ailment for millions of people. It can strike repeatedly and without warning, nearly paralyzing its victims with pain and discomfort. Inversion therapy is an excellent way to prevent and treat chronic or recurring back pain. This form of therapy treats back pain by hanging a person upside-down by their ankles. The only problem with this therapy is a risk of spinal injury because of the procedure's lack of support. Fortunately, inversion tables remove this risk. A person can lie on an inversion table, and then gradually turn themselves upside down, always fully supported by their ankles. With precise balance, simple arm movements control the rotation of the inversion table. Special tether straps or locking hinges allows users to stop a rotation at just the right angle in order to stretch a specific place in their back.

This technique has proven effective for relieving spine compression, elongating the spine, and reversing minor spinal dislocations. Of course, this treatment is not for everyone. People with glaucoma, very high blood pressure, bone disorders or a history of severe spinal injury or surgery should be careful and check with a physician before administering inversion therapy. However, with a bit of practice and an breath of caution, inversion tables can be your ticket to a pain-free and healthier back.

The Stamina® Inversion System features return assist handles, making inversion exercising safer and easier. The padded, half-circle assist handles are easy to grasp and make transitions smoother with less strength required. The pellicle mesh bed allows air circulation to your back to complete the experience. The inversion system is easy to adjust and folds for simple storage.
