[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 258662, member: 1957"] tooner- Just a suggestion, you can take it however you wish........ Some people believe the human was not meant to hang upside down.....something about the blood rushing to the head and the joints (hips, ankles, knees) not meant to be subjected to this. I use hanging ab straps at the gym. I would recommend a website and the model I use but I would probably be breaking a BrownCafe law. A nurse from the local "spine hospital" says hanging in this manner decompresses the vertabrae, stretches the muscles and is very benefical. Hanging in this manner does require an overhead structure capable of supporting your weight and is high enough for one to hang with the feet approx 6-8 inches off the ground. Doing vertical knee raises while hanging can/does strengthen the lower abs and obliques. I went from not being able to put my socks on because of the pain to being relatively pain free. It won't happen overnight though. I hang several times a week at the gym. This is just my opinion.....it may not work for you. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
