Re: anybody know anything re gravity boots, or back stretcher??

[Guest guest]

Here's a suggestion while you are checking out the gravity

boots/table thingy. Go to your nearest WallyWorld (Wal-Mart) to the

sports section. Look for something called a Crystal Ball or ask

about an exercise ball. They run about $15.00 have their own little

pumperupperthingy and a tape to tell you how big to blow it up. Try

just sitting on it for a couple of days. I use it at the computer

and to watch tv. Then (with a spotter) walk your feet forward while

lowering your upper body onto the ball then just relax and let your

body stretch. It is great and cheap. Then when your back is feeling

better you can do crunches on it. I do all my ab exercises on the

ball. Cheap enough that if you hate it you haven't wasted a pile of

$. And besides my grands love to sit on the darn thing and the

littlest (9) just kinds drapes her upper body over it with feet

planted on the floor to watch tv.

I had my panni removed in April. The surgeon took off 25 lbs of fat and

skin. The first time I stood up after surgery was the first time I had

stood up without lower back pain in years. It was totally amazing how

much better it felt. I also noticed the my balance was improved too.

OH honey,, when that bag was gone, my view of the world changed completely!

My butt fell where it belonged, behind me, but not in the BACK YARD to

compensate for the bag on the front! Whew! Baby! Was it ever different & I

mean NOW, first twirl around my hospital room!

Ceep . . .Because of my abdomnioplasty I won't be needing back

surgery for a LOOOOOONG time. I was dying and living on Vicodin

prior to my TT . . . I have now been narcotic free since the end of

July. If the TT hadn't worked, the next step for me would have been

back surgery and/or a narcotic implant of some kind. Life and living

is so much better now and I am not yet 100% recovered after having 3

surgeries in 3 months , the last of which was 2.5 months ago!

Document the pain and go for the TT, it makes a huge feeling

difference and the appearance improvement is a bonus!

I accidently discovered something at the gym which has been a Godsend

for my back. I use one of the large rubber or whatever balls (about

3 ft diameter I would guess). I sit on it and then roll my butt

forward towards the ground. I put my arms over my head and, using my

legs, I push slowly roll the ball from the top of the butt to along

the back to the top of my back until my hands touch the ground behind

my head. Not only is my back arched and stretched, the slight

pressure of the rolling ball feels like I'm getting a back massage.

It feels soooo good!

I see people in the gym use these for lots of different

exercises..think Shape magazine had a spread about it a month or two

ago. The balls aren't very expensive. A real find at any price in

my opinion...much more versatile than the machines you mentioned and

a lot cheaper.
