Inversion Table - Exercises

The woman in the animation is raising her straight arm to modify weight distribution and change the angle of incline. If you are just learning and want to change the angle of incline while maintaining a greater degree of control it is best to start out with your hands flat on your thighs. If your settings are correct, with your shoulders flat on the canvas, your knees straight and your hands on your thighs, the table should be parallel to the ground. Then keeping your palms touching your body, gently slide your hands up until you have reached the angle set by the tether strap. Most people will find the most comfortable position for their arms if the are resting is to have the arms crossed on their chest. If you are rocking you can hold the handles while bending and straightening your knees and if you have Traction Handles it is easy to create the rocking motion.
