First Position - "Posture Position"
The first thing you do is to set body placement. Get way down where you feel hip against contour of the unit. Then, reach up and take the bar where you get a good stretch. The first position does the following:
- Lifts the rib cage (provides place for waist to drop into)
- Aligns the spine
- Relieves inner tension
- Upper trunk and arm areas
THIS POSITION IS IMPERATIVE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CORRECTION. It is an introduction to circulation for the body.
Second Position - "Most Corrective of the Five Positions"
This position continues to get a good strength with the arm bar. This position works through the following:
- Posture-spinal alignment
- Continues to lift rib cage
- Upper trunk and arm areas
- Abdominal and hip areas
- Beginning to work on outer thighs
Keep body placement DOWN on unit even though there is a natural pulling away.
Third Position - "Rest"
The bar isn?t moving on this position, so hold the handles on the sides of unit. This position works through the following:
- Circulation in abdominal, hips, and thighs
- Firms and tones the neck and face (mini-facial), tip chin back (clear passageway), breath in through nose and exhale through mouth slowly to count of 10.
Fourth Position - "Legs"
This is a reverse bicycle action. It teaches the following:
- Resistance process - tightens and tones abdominal area
- Pushing (offense) - action away from the body
- Resisting (defense) - resist force coming to you
If you have a coordination problem, try one foot at a time. Up to this point, we have been working from head to toe to dislodge fatty tissue.
Fifth Position - "Totally Relaxed"
This position is the most stimulating! It stimulates the entire circulatory system, from the toes to the head. Blood to the body is like soap to the skin, it's a cleansing agent. The bar is moving again but do not stretch or resist. Relax totally. When the unit shuts off, lie still for a few minutes and enjoy the tingling sensation which is stimulated circulation. |
