Teeter Hang Ups Dex II Decompression and Extension Machine

I had actually intended on getting a Roman chair to do back extensions, but Amazon's great price ... on this dual capability machine convinced me to give it a shot and also add the capability of inversion. As for the machine itself, it's quite heavy-duty, but very easy to assemble. Make sure you have the floor space available as it does not collapse after assembly. As for user weight limitations, in my judgment it will easily support even the extremely large individual.

The unique design for inversion takes all the stress off the knees and ankles as the weight is supported primarily on the upper thighs, anchored by pads behind the calves. These pads are adjustable vertically, but not horizontally. So, if you have short legs, you will not be able to hold the legs in a 90 degrees angle as you hang upside down ( the lower legs will be somewhat extended behind the pads.) This may be an issue if you intend to invert for extended periods. I have not found it a problem for my ~ 10-min inversions.

.... Also, highly recommended for larger users who want the benefits of inversion but cannot take stress on the knees and ankles.

Teeter Hang Ups Dex II Decompression and Extension Machine - Benefits

The Teeter DEX II is a forward-rotating, user-controlled inversion machine. Using the DEX II, the body is placed in a 90/90 position which helps to flatten the lumbar curve for greater separation of lower vertebrae. Traction is applied to the hip joints and spine, with no loads to the ankles and knee joints. This position is optimal for decompression.

Because the DEX II places you in the 90/90 position, your body is in a position relevant to gravity that maximizes muscle performance during back extensions while helping to prevent hyperextension. The DEX II is ideal for back extension exercises - it works like a roman chair, but with better ergonomic support. Your knees are placed by the DEX II in the relaxed 90 degree position which reduces load on the hamstring, rather than forcing less effective straight-legged exercises. The unique traction handles of the DEX II offer a method for increased decompression.

By regularly utilizing the Teeter Hang Ups DEX II Decompression and Extension Machine, users may:
Increase flexibility and range of movement.
Enhance alignment and balance.
Reduce stress on the body after a workout.
Encourage muscle development.
Build core muscle groups.
Achieve functional fitness - a state of flexibility, strength and balance that supports youthful movement and activity.
