Teeter Hang Ups EZ Up Inversion and Chin Up System

For many years I have been suffering from lower back pain as well as some occasional neck pain. Being a long-time distance runner this seems to come with the territory. Having visited a Chiropractor over the years, I noticed that I would require ''adjustments'' more and more often to feel put together. After speaking to a personal trainer at the gym, I got the idea about ''gravity boots'' and thus started doing some research. This is how I stumbled upon the Hang Ups EZ Up system. Let me point out a couple of things before you buy this system:

1) You MUST have a relatively strong core in order to use this system and CANNOT weigh more than 250 lbs.

2) The brackets used for the inversion bar require being ATTACHED BY SCREWS to the outside of a door frame -i.e. The brackets are visible and permanent.

3) The first couple of times you use this, you WILL fumble trying to get up into an inversion position.

All of these things being said, once you get this system down, YOU WILL BE HOOKED!!! The sensation of inversion is so relaxing and relieving that it is almost euphoric. You can literally feel your spine decompress. AHHHH!!! After a couple of weeks of occasional use (every other day for 4-5 minutes) my back pain is all but gone. My neck is noticebly looser as well. For me this was truly money well spent. One last word of warning: If you are not athletic, perhaps you should stick to an inversion table as just the action of getting into the inversion position is like a heavy-duty pull up.

EZ-Up Inversion Rack With Gravity Boots

Pro''s:

RACK: very easy to use, easy to dismount for regular use of the door frame, good grip.

BOOTS: firm hook grip on the bar, I don''t believe putting it on and off could be easier (but it still takes over a minute to put them on "comfortably")

Con''s:

RACK: not portable (mounting brackets screwed to the door frame three 2-inch-long screws each)

BOOTS: not really comfortable, but one has to keep in mind, that you cannot cheat physics, and the gravity IS still there, pulling the weight of your body down. The only thing constraining are the shoes, with half of one''s weight at each foot base. In my opinion the foam should be either thicker or less deforming, and/or the boot shell could be better profiled to distribute the load on a bigger area.

Just be prepared for some pain until you''ll figure out the right boot setting for yourself ;)

I was originally looking at inversion tables but then happened to come across this. The system is built quite tough, as long as you assemble it properly, of course. No creaking, no crackling when inverted. Very sturdy in the door frame. Also remains above my head when going through the doorway. Big PLUS as at 6''4'''' I was going to have to remove the rig to walk through the doorway. But this is not even necessary. And the door can be closed without any issues.

As to inversion and its benefits. I spend a few minutes on it every day and can tell my spine "thanks me" every day! Very cool and simple way to get relief. Plus doing "sit ups" or crunches is an added benefit, which you probably could not do with an inversion table. So all in all I am very satisfied and would recommend.

Getting on it and off of it is a bit tricky if you don''t have the strength to lift your legs above your head. So may not be suitable for everybody. Also you''ll need to get used to some discomfort associated with having the gravity boots on, but there is no way around it. They are padded right, so there is no hard surface pressing against your ankles/feet, but it still feels tight. But it is expected as you are HANGING by your FEET :)

Read Best Reviews of Teeter Hang Ups EZ Up Inversion and Chin Up System Here

Since when I was 14 years old, I have a back problem due to a trauma caused by excess of weight that I had to carry. Since then, I suffer from terrible back pains. I did a MRI that showed my intervertebral discs damaged and going out from where it was supposed to be (prolapsed disc). So, going to a chiropractic would relieve my pain due to the strech. I figure why not buy an inverter... So I did and I can tell it will relieve your aches. In the beginning you may feel nauseous but you get used to the new position and will be satisfied with no more pains. If you make an inversion at least once each two days, probably you will live a normal life and won''t be limited due to the stress the pain causes you. Recommended!

PS: The boots are comfortable. Of course, you are upside down and at a point you will feel some discomfort in your anckle, but I can''t imagine something holding you upsidedown more comfortably than this.

UPDATE 11/20/2012:

Never had a back ache again!!! The product is still in shape, still in place at my door and I use it less than before, simply because my back aches are gone! I mean, right in the beginning I used it once a week, then I started to use once a month and now... It''s like once each 3-4 months. And that is because I am feeling "young" again and doing stuff I was not supposed to do, like lift weight and stuff.

This is totally worth and for the benefits it brings your health, you can''t go wrong.

I am very glad I bought it and if you have back aches like mine (when in crisis, I wouldn''t be able to leave bed!), you look no further.

I''ve used this system for a little over a month now and all I can say is that it is as good as advertised! I work out a lot during the week, specifically running, road cycling and weight training, and this system helps me stretch and relax my entire body after a long workout. It also works great if you want to do an upside-down abs workout, though I haven''t been doing that as often as I would like to.

The system is relatively simple to set up. Just follow the instructions and you should be alright. My only quibble about the installation is that some of the bolts provided seem to be a little short, which doesn''t give you a feeling of safety. Anyway, that can easily be taken care of by buying longer bolts at a hardware store, so no biggie.

As for ease of use, I agree with with some of the other reviews that at first it will be difficult to swing yourself into position and that you will fumble this maneuver a few times, but after a couple of uses, you will have this down pat. Also, be sure to start off by hanging yourself for only a minute or two at first and then increase that over time as your body gets used to being inverted (and your ankles get used to some slight pain). Finally, in order to get the full benefit of the system, your body needs to be COMPLETELY relaxed, which in the beginning can be difficult to do as you are not fully used to being upside-down

In summary, I would recommend this product to anybody that is interested in stretching and relaxing after a long workout, as well as anybody that wants to relieve back pain. Believe me, you will not be disappointed!
