Bodyblade® is unlike any other piece of exercise equipment on the market today. Why? Because Bodyblade uses low level vibration and inertia to train the body. Bodyblade rapidly changes directions at a rhythm of 4.5 cycles per second, which translates to your body reacting 270 times per minute to resist the forces of the blade moving back and forth. We achieve this using inertia to challenge the body to contract its muscles to maintain balance, coordination, speed and strength.
This rhythmic dynamic stabilizing system of training is not used in any other exercise device as it is used with Bodyblade. Your body becomes the machine and the Bodyblade becomes your exercise partner. The harder you push and pull on the blade, the greater the oscillation or flex in the blade, which requires greater force output from you to neutralize the speed and movement of the blade. You have to start, stop and change directions of your own body while controlling your mass. This wonderful equalizer automatically adjusts to each one of us. The same blade in the hands of two different people will produce a workout perfectly matched to the individual’s size, strength and muscle endurance.
Since Bodyblade is not dependent on gravity, we can assume any position with the blade relative to our body or with our body relative to the planet to train standing, sitting or lying on a flat surface. Unlike a device using gravity—weights, springs, pullies, tubing and other forms of resistance—Bodyblade can adjust the force challenge anywhere throughout the range of motion instantly by the user. Best of all, you can never over train your body. As you fatigue, you loose your ability to coordinate the rapid change in direction and automatically stop before you reach complete muscle failure.
Bodyblade® is a tremendous asset to your sports performance because we train movement, not muscle. Rather than isolate muscle, we bring groups of muscles together as a team to perform with greater precision, accuracy and with less risk of injury. Many of the exercises you perform with Bodyblade mimic the movements athletes use in competition, allowing you to train your body to execute moves faster and with greater controlled force.
