Back Revolution and Spin Cycling

The Pre-spin inversion sequence:
1. Straight hang for 15 seconds.
2. Spinal twist to opposite lower bars for 7 seconds each side.
3. Back hyper-extension for 10 seconds.
4. C-curl toward center mast for 10 seconds.
5. Return to standing position slowly, with deep exhalations.

The Post-spin inversion sequence:
1. Straight hang with arms out in front, palms pressing on lower bars or all the way to the floor for 30 seconds.
2. Back hyper-extension for 15 seconds.
3. C-curl toward center mast for 15 seconds.
4. Return to standing position slowly, with deep exhalations.

The Back Revolution® System :
* Decompression of the entire spine.
* Release sacro-iliac and lumbo-sacral ligaments.
* Activates thoracic outlets to improve myolymphatic drainage during exercise.
* Releases gravitational stress on existing body structure habit patterns.
* Releases stagnant venous return blood in small veins and capillaries in lower extremities.
* Lengthens quadriceps and hamstring muscles (legs parallel to floor position).
* Activates cranio-sacral respiratory mechanism (CSRM) - this primes the cellular physiology to be more effective during cardiovascular exercise.
* Decompresses the discs and nerve root spacings in the spine.
* Restores elasticity to the upper third of the lung for greater oxygen uptake.
* Increases blood and oxygen to the brain and cranial cavity, assuring that one is more alert and ready to focus on the exercise class.
* Improves the elimination of cellular waste products, including carbon dioxide and lactic acid.

The Back Revolution® is compact and easy to use. It can be placed most anywhere.
