Let’s make an antigravity training?

Train on antigravity, it will put you in the sky and promises to become an addiction. Find out how you can do it.

Imagine doing a physical training in the air, as if you were inside some sort of cocoon. These are the new classes of antigravity, a form of suspended exercise that only applies the weight of the body.

The creator of this technique was the American Chris Harrison, a former gymnast, acrobat, and choreographer, who realized that getting upside down substantially relieved the back pain.

The essential element of these classes is a piece of cloth. A strip of fabric in silk is attached to the ceiling, which supports about of 2000 pounds, serves to support the body and as it unfolds all the action of the antigravity training. The cloth is extensible and can be collected and serve only as a support, as can serve as a “cocoon” to the whole body.

This training combines a more spiritual dimension afforded by the positions and technique used in Yoga, with another markedly more physical training, which aims on muscle toning.

You can try doing antigravity yoga, fitness or bars exercises, each working specific parts of the body. The first are the postures and techniques of yoga, the second aims to work the muscle toning and antigravity bars run ballet movements that appeal to all that enjoy the dance.

This mode has the advantage of stretching and strengthen muscles without exerting impact on the joints or compression on the vertebrae and is very suitable for all who have back problems. The fact that the body can be freely hanging upside down stretches the spine. The main benefit of this sport is, according to its creator, precisely this decompression of the entire body, that is fully stretched. The blood circulation increases and a greater amount of oxygen reaches the head.

All classes of the sport include inversion exercises that allow this.

Although it is indicated for most people, these exercises can be discouraged to people who suffer from high blood pressure, cardiovascular problems, glaucoma or bone problems.
