This is the cushioned bench that stretches the back using inversion while strengthening the abdominal muscles when used as a Captain's Chair. Developing strong abdominal muscles support the back, and this machine encourages proper form without straining the neck or back. Like a Captain's Chair exercise, users grasp the two foam-padded handles and perform leg-ups that target the abdominals while feet are held stable by the foot pad. Consistent exercise develops resilient abdominal muscles that keep the back fully supported. It is also an inversion bench that gently stretches the back in less than two minutes using only gravity, which helps to relieve strain on the spine and vertebrae. With regular use, inversion decreases spinal compression, relieves disk and nerve root pressure, and eases cervical tension that can lead to pinched nerves and headaches. Handholds provide a smooth return to an upright position. An auto-stop prevents inversion past a chosen angle. Rubber non-slip leg caps provide stability on hard floors. Adjustable to fit heights of 4'9" to 6'5" and supports up to 250 lbs. Assembly required. 76 1/4" H x 30" W x 57 1/4" D. (59 1/2 lbs.)
