Tips for additional training

You can diversify your basic exercises by integrating resistance training to your SpineGym routine.

You can also use SpineGym for your dumbbell or bar exercises to offer additional stability.

There are several benefits compared with resistance or weight training without the SpineGym Core Exerciser:

• While working out your arm muscles, as a bonus, you can also target your deep abdominal and back muscles.
• Your back remains supported and in an anatomically correct position during the workout.
• You achieve cleaner motions as your body is more stable.
• The impact of the training is easier to put into practice as your body is supported, the exercises are easier and more comfortable to do, and you can concentrate on the correct motion.

SpineGym has been used and tested by the most demanding professional users we could find, and in the most challenging of environments on a daily basis. SpineGym has now passed all the practical tests we could think of, performing flawlessly in its stunning simplicity! Institutions such as the Finnish Army and Air Force, the Finnish Olympic Team, the National Ballets of Finland and Denmark are some of its happy users, just to give you an idea!
