And hanging upside down from an inversion table I bought from Kmart, an excellent deal, on sale for $99.00 in W-B store, thats $30.00 off

Very easy to put together, most of it is pre assembled in the box.
Easy setup, very sturdy, and when your upside down there is
no pain Clapping

I give it 2 thumbs up.

Jay:
How long do you stay on yours?
I'm doing the recomended starting of 5 minutes 3 times a day, seems like time flys by, and times up before I know it.

Just stay on it for a few minites just before bed or after a ride.

i have the nordictrack inversion table i got from the sports authority about a year ago 50% OFF for $149. it has 15 degree inversion increments that i usually use on 45 or 60. i read somewhere that 90 degree inversion isnt beneficial and actually can hurt you....

i must say that anytime my back hurts at all i just lay on it for 5-10 minutes and feel like a new man getting off of it! it's great after a long day of riding as well! IMO the best 'exercise' equipment you can get for the $$$ Thumbs Up

If anyone is interested in trying an inversion table for back pain, or just a great stretch, here's your chance at a good, very lightly used one.
I can't hang upside down by my feet anymore for obvious reasons, and it's taking up valuable space. Retails for $129.99, I'll let it go for $60.00

And you don't have to put it together! Thumbs Up
