BodyBladesBodyBlade ExercisesIf your goal is simply to get your body in great shape, look and feel younger, stand taller, perform better with visibly greater muscle definition and strength, then you can achieve that goal today. Bodyblade provides targeted training and rehabilitation for users in the clinic, sports club or individual setting. Be sure to reference your Bodyblade Exercise Wall Chart for a full range of suggested exercises.Bodyblade will enhance your sports performance through the power of your core. Improve quickness, balance and accuracy with racquet or club sports by increasing speed or better hand-eye coordination through repetitive rapid muscle contractions. Bodyblade delivers this automatically to your body. Try our suggested exercise programs or develop your own. The intensity of your workout is completely variable. Bodyblade is an excellent low impact workout for seniors, and weekend athletes sharpening the saw to increase the intensity, strength and endurance in their body. Use Bodyblade to train the muscles used in activities such as the martial arts, golf, tennis, baseball, rock climbing, running and many other sports. BodyBlade Pro BodyBlade Classic BodyBlade CXT Why BodyBlades?Bodyblade® is unlike any other piece of exercise equipment on the market today. Most other systems work on the principle of the user attempting to lift a weighted item or stretch an elastic band. The Bodyblade®, however, works on the opposite premise: Once the user drives the blade and the ends begin to move, inertia provides resistance to the body. The greater the flex of the blade, the greater the resist. This progressive resistance automatically adjusts to the level of the user. Thus, the risk of injury through overexertion is greatly reduced.In addition, Bodyblade® will directly impact whatever sport you play by specifically targeting those muscle groups used in a particular sport. Many of the exercises you perform with Bodyblade® mimic the same movements athletes use in competition, allowing you to train your body to execute moves faster and with more force. Shoulder - BodyBlade ExerciseThe jab will challenge the entire core (trunk) and shoulder complex. Great for postural muscles, mid back the abs and thighs. Add a little variety by lowering or raising your arms between exercise or dynamically while you cycle or drive the Bodyblade.  2. Throwing Sequence - Cock Phase Single leg moving through a throwing motion for balance, quickness, core and extremity strengthening. A total body connection. Train the shoulder where stability is important.   Lunging stance forward motion, force reduction throughout the entire back, rear shoulder and lower body. Excellent for throwing athletes and a challenging strength move.  Position the Bodyblade(s) vertically with the narrow edge facing you. Move the Blade left and right in front of your body. As with any pec deck or pec fly movement, moving high, middle or low will work more upper, middle/center, or lower pec's. For a greater challenge, try these in traditional bench positions lying on your back, inclined or declined 45 degrees.  Upper Back and Neck - BodyBlade Exercises   Lower Back - BodyBlade Exercises   Knees - BodyBlade Exercises   BODYBLADE WORKOUT SUGGESTIONS: Follow These Simple Bodyblade Workout Principles - F.I.T.T. and you are guaranteed to reach your training goals: Ask most personal trainers how to increase resistance to train harder and they will tell you to add more weight or turn the resistance knob another quarter turn. Bodyblade trains the body naturally as do many other natural forms of exercise such as swimming, cycling, rowing, gymnastics or running. With these activities, you increase speed, drag, body angle or intensity of work to make the difference in required resistance. Since the flex of the blade and your body combine to give you the ultimate resistance equation, following these simple rules will insure your success. FREQUENCY: Make sure you exercise 3-5 times a week minimum combining strength, flexibility, muscle endurance and cardiovascular training. INTENSITY: Increase the flex or amplitude of the blade during exercise and increase the workload or resistance to your body. Much like adding heavier weights to a weight stack. 1a) Move the Bodyblade further away from your body to increases the leverage and resistance even further. This is done by extending your arms slowly away from your body center. TIME: Increase the amount of time you exercise when working out. Begin where you can and progress to at least 60 seconds for each exercise. Think about time relating to sets and reps in traditional strength training methods. The longer you exercise, the more endurance your muscles gain. TRAINING: Train for strength, endurance, interval or wind sprints, and aerobically. Important points to remember when applying your Bodyblade F.I.T.T. principles: BODY POSITION: You can control the direction of Resistance and apply those forces at any angle you desire. This allows you to challenge your abs in a standing or lying position. Your legs or shoulders can be resisted throughout a full range of motion or in sports specific postures. Emphasize your favorite sport for better overall performance. Modify any of the Bodyblade exercises to create dozens of new exercises simply by adding rotation in stance or body to modify the forces and instability. PLANE OF MOTION: The plane of motion will alter the response from a single muscle or an entire group of muscles. The Core muscles (Abs and back) will work more in flexion and extension, lateral flexion, rotation or a combination of 2 or more directions by changing the plane of motion. At first, learn to feel the body's response to different exercise positions. As you become more familiar with your reactions, the finer details of a golf swing or a little more resistance from the shoulders or the gluts in the hips are an easy fix. GRIP: Place your hand or hands around the center grip with a light touch. Not as you would grab a tennis racquet, baseball bat or a golf club but rather the way you would pick up a glass of water. The grip should be light enough to hold the Bodyblade safely. If you hold too hard you may experience early fatigue in the forearm and hand muscles. Review the tape for the five grip positions. 1) Two hand top grip 2) Two hand bottom grip 3) Golf grip ( top to bottom lacing two fingers) 4) Lace grip and 5) Single hand grip. STANCE: All Super Six exercises involve the entire body although they emphasize some muscle groups more then others as we move through the six exercises. The starting position may vary for different exercises pertaining to sports performance and rehabilitation. For the Super Six program, Take a broad stance with your feet apart shoulder width or better. Bend at the knees at least 25 degrees and bend forward at the hips 25 degrees. This is a mild squat position which by itself will begin toning and firming the gluts and thighs. When you add the oscillation of the Bodyblade, these muscles will be exercised 270 times a minute as you start, stop and change direction of your body to stabilize against the inertial forces generated by Bodyblade. SIX MINUTE SUPER SIX BODYBLADE EXERCISE ROUTINES The BodyBlade Super Six exercises were strategically designed to work all the major muscle groups in the body, targeting each of the major muscle groups with each one of the six exercises. Bodyblade dramatically works the smaller stabilizing muscles in the body first before calling the larger more powerful muscles into action. This automatically works the postural and deep muscles in the trunk which attach to the shoulders, arms, pelvis, hips and legs. These smaller muscles actually help control the larger more powerful muscles in your body. Together, large and small muscles get a phenomenal exercise workout using Bodyblade. THE SUPER SIX EXERCISE PROGRAM: 1) Chest Press 2) Back and Shoulder Reach 3) Ab Crunch 4) Tricep Push 5) Bicep Tricep Trimmer and 6) Hip and Thigh Sculptor. The following are a few suggestions for doing your Super Six or expanded program. NOTE: The greater the distance between the feet and the deeper the squat during exercise (especially during the Hip and Thigh Sculptor) the greater the training effect on the hips gluts and thighs. I. SIX for SIX: Do each of the Super Six for one minute followed by a 30 second rest period. Take them in sequence (1-6 )or change the order around (2,4,6,1,3,5 ) to challenge yourself. II. CIRCUIT SIX: Do the Super Six in sequence for ten seconds each for a total of one minute. Repeat the sequence six times for a great six minute workout. You will be challenged. Here's an example. Chest Press X 10 seconds, Back and Shoulder Reach X 10 seconds, Ab Crunch X 10 seconds, Tricep Push X 10 seconds, Bicep Tricep Trimmer X 10 seconds and Hip and Thigh Sculptor X 10 seconds for a total of 60 seconds. Repeat 6 times (sets) for a great 6 minute workout. As you become stronger and have greater endurance you can either add more sets of the circuit or increase the amount of time to 15 seconds or 20 seconds (increases reps) with each of the six exercises. III. THREE FOR THREE: Take the first three exercises in the Super Six ( Chest Press, Back and Shoulder Reach and Ab Crunch) and do them in combination for three minutes. Rest for one minute and do the final three exercises in the Super Six ( Tricep Push, Bicep Tricep Trimmer and Hip and Thigh Sculptor) in combination for three minutes. A combination may be 30 seconds each or one minute each. As long as you keep going for three minutes before resting. Initially try to do the sequence 1-3 and 4-6. IV. CUSTOM SIX: Create your own six minute workout using the Super Six exercises. Make any combination of time, exercise sequence and sets. While the rate of oscillation stays the same, the workout intensifies when the amplitude, or magnitude of the flexing tips, increases. Over the course of just one minute, the ends of the Bodyblade® move back and forth 270 times, and that's 270 times your muscles have to resist the movements. The resistance needed to control the blade can range from 1 to 34 pounds depending on the amplitude of the flexing tips. What other advantages does Bodyblade have? Timesaving: Bodyblade's® efficient movements provide a complete workout in just minutes, so you're never tempted to skip exercise during your otherwise busy schedule. Cost: For as little as $59, you can start down the road to a stronger, healthier you. Compact: Bodyblade® is only a few feet long and a couple of pounds, easily fitting in the closet, under the bed and dozens of other places conventional weights and machines can't go. What makes Bodyblade® different than other exercise equipment? With Bodyblade® there are no weights or elastic bands that can break. You control the intensity and acceleration of the movement, which makes it safer and more effective than other equipment. Bodyblade® is technically known as a dynamic reactive instrument, which means that it matches the force you put into the blade and nothing more. As it moves back and forth four and a half times per second, it uses the principles of inertia to stimulate the muscles and make them stronger. The better conditioned the user, the more enhanced the workout. Yet since the user controls the movement, you can never injure yourself with Bodyblade®. All of this is possible due to the patented technology and the inertial exercise principles built into every Bodyblade®. How does Bodyblade® create resistance? Bodyblade® is a reactive, oscillating device that utilizes inertia to generate up to 270 muscle contractions per minute. The laws of inertia state that an object set in motion remains in motion until another force acts upon it to stop or change its direction. You push and pull on the apparatus, which accelerates the blade and creates a force due to the flex or amplitude of the blade. The greater the flex, the greater the resistance that is needed by the body to counteract the destabilizing forces delivered into the body. The blade's movement therefore requires the user to contract his or her muscles in order to neutralize these forces. Can Bodyblade help improve my Golf game? Bodyblade is designed to improve the communication in the body for better hand eye coordination and position sense. Bodyblade will also improve the core strength which is vital in all sports. Golf is a sport in which accuracy, club head speed and human performance go hand in hand. The list of Pro golfers is long. Visit our professional customers/testimonials section. How does a Bodyblade workout translate into calories burned? Calorie consumption is difficult to calculate using Bodyblade for several reasons. Varying factors are your age, conditioning level to begin with, weight, mass, lean body mass, and true intensity of workout. Since Bodyblade is a progressive resistance device which ties very closely to the users mass and conditioning, results will vary as would two people running a mile at different paces and conditioning levels. Since the intensity of training is hard to measure from one individual to another, we have no concrete measure of calories burned where I could say to you, 100 calories for every ten minute workout. We do have two aerobic workouts with two other products in the Bodyblade line and one aerobic workout with the Classic. There are good reasons to do aerobic and anaerobic exercise to help burn calories and lose weight. The burning of calories via aerobic exercise is great for the actual workout, but also for the metabolic changes in your body at the cellular level. A more fit person, burns more calories faster and more efficiently then a sedentary person. The key is to change your metabolism and burn fat more efficiently then someone who does not exercise. The anaerobic exercise with Bodyblade or more strengthening part of the workout will increase the muscle size to some degree and provide more fuel for the furnace. The more muscle working, the more calories are burned even at rest. The combination of more mass and more power capability, plus a better more efficient metabolism will change the way you look and feel. Does Bodyblade have an aerobic effect on the whole body? Yes, Bodyblade can be aerobic. We have several size models which can be used for aerobic training. They come with a great aerobic follow along video guaranteed to make you sweat and burn the calories. You control the intensity of the workout and how much aerobic work you do. As for weight loss, no product alone will guarantee weight loss. You must combine the proper nutritional program with exercise. Aerobic fitness will change the way your body's metabolism functions. The more aerobically fit you are, the better the cells process energy and burn calories. The more sedentary person will store food as fat while a fit person will take the same food and use it for energy. The key is to challenge the body with Bodyblade, tone the muscles, strengthen the muscles and change your metabolism.
