"Without a doubt... a roman chair is the SECRET to explosive power, beautiful curves, and feeling good again."line

 Explosive Power
First, a roman chair / hyperextension machine is crucial if you want a competitive edge — a ripped, powerful, explosive set of core muscles — so you can crush the competition!  Your core strength is where it all starts.

Australian Researchers found that core muscles are the key to human function and performance.  Why?  Because all healthy movement begins with activation of the core muscles.  In fact, before you lift your arm from your side, the first muscles to activate are the muscles of your mid-section and then the shoulder muscles.

Here is Dr. Knudsen's formula for developing a powerful core:

Safety x Optimal Positioning = Massive Gains in Core Muscle Power!

Dr. Knudsen recommends the following exercise equipment
to develop Explosive Core Muscle Power.

 Beautiful Curves
It is also the preferred exercise equipment if your fitness goals include: "trimming my waistline! — turning the "baby fat" around my mid-section, buttocks and thighs into lean muscle — so I look fabulous in a swim suit this season!"  This is the tested and proven exercise machine that has worked for millions, not your infomercial "abs of steel" gimmick.  A little known fact that many people interested in fitness are unaware of is that building more muscle increases your "fat-burning" metabolism.

Here is Dr. Knudsen's law of cause and effect regarding bare-skinned confidence:

Build More Muscle arrow Increase your Fat-Burning Metabolism arrow Decrease the pounds of Stomach Fat and Cellulite on your Buttocks and Thighs  arrow Get a Leaner Waistline and Hips arrow Get the bare-skinned confidence  arrow Impress that special someone so you can connect socially and maybe even romantically!!!

Dr. Knudsen recommends the following exercise equipment
to develop Beautiful Curves.

Hyperextension machines keep you safe...
while you exercise your core muscles, glutes, and hamstrings.line

Nautilus roman chair hyperextensionA roman chair hyperextension machine is designed for intensive training of the mid-section, or core muscles.  It uses your body weight for resistance during core workouts. 

Its simple design provides safety without requiring a spotter or training partner.  These machines typically have handles for support as you climb on and off.  And, they incorporate foam rollers and/or a foot platform and a thigh/pelvic pad to hold your legs in place.

Proper strength and endurance training on this type of exercise equipment restores the balance between your back and abdominal muscles, and it is an effective way to improve core stability. 

Core stability allows your back, abdominals, pelvis and hips to work in harmony.  Strong core muscles make it easier to do most physical activities, from swinging a golf club to getting a glass from a top shelf or bending down to tie your shoes.  Weak core muscles leave you susceptible to poor posture, muscle injuries and lower back pain. 

But you may still be wondering... "Who uses this type of exercise equipment?"

Roman chairs help many people realize their potential.
Why not add yourself to this list?line

Here is a list of typical users... 

Office workers enjoy the convenience and versatility of a roman chair.workers

  • Take a break from long periods of sitting (especially slumped over a computer keyboard) to revitalize their mid-section.
  • Use it everyday for a quick, "wake me up" work out.
  • Easily integrated into the lifestyle of a working person at home or at the office.

Medical doctors, dentists, and other health-care providers use hyper extension machines to keep their mid-section in optimal condition.

  • doctorsAfter bending over patients throughout the day performing injections, surgeries, dental work, and other patient care activities.  Roman chair exercises help improve strength, endurance, and capillary blood flow for important postural muscles in the mid-section.
  • Some make it a point to exercise every day on these machines to prevent back pain.

Back-pain sufferers rehabilitate themselves at home with intensive exercise programs using back hyperextension benches.

  • Training targets the correct muscles.  Roman chair exercises develop strength and flexibility in the low back, abdominals and hamstrings - the normal problem areas.
  • One person's spine surgeon told him: "The key to the entire procedure was that you develop an extremely strong and flexible core so that it would act as a brace for your body.  If you don’t... then the surgery won’t do much and the pain will soon return."
  • Dr. Richard Harper, a neurosurgeon practicing with the Neurosurgical Group of Texas in Houston, regularly refers his low back pain patients to physical therapy to learn how to perform back hyperextension exercises on a roman chair bench. 
  • Conclusion of a medical study: "There is no evidence that patients need to have their activities restricted after first-time lumbar disc surgery. There is strong evidence for intensive exercise programs (at least if started about 4-6 weeks postoperative) and no evidence they increase the re-operation rate." (SPINE 2003 Feb 1;28(3):209-18.)
  • BackTrainer.com is the only place to get the ULTIMATE WORKOUT For Your Lower Back video that shows you exactly how to perform this exercise program.  When you buy your roman chair from BackTrainer.com, check the box for the bonus CD.

But you may still be wondering... "Is a roman chair right for me?"

Is a Roman Chair right for you?... 
Will it help you realize your goals?line

Strength training is frequently mistaken as heavy lifting, and thereby falsely thought of as dangerous and unappealing to beginners.  But, it is actually appropriate for all fitness levels and is a valuable part of every fitness program. 

The Back Trainer Medic is a perfect example of a machine that is appropriate for all fitness levels.  Whether you are a sedentary person with back pain or an athlete trying to train the back muscles, this machine will work for you. 

This hybrid of the back hyperextension machines is adjustable and has six difficulty levels.  Level one (the easiest) is seen in the video image to the right.  Level six (the hardest) is more appropriate for athletes.

When we talk about strength training, the core muscles are the most important to human function and performance, mainly because all movement stems from the core.

The core of your body includes the 29 muscles around your midsection and hips.  This area is the body’s center of gravity, the source of all your movement.  So the more fit this area is, the better you will be able to control your movements, reduce injuries and build power.  If you did not find a description that fits for "you" on the list above, feel free to ask Dr. Knudsen if back hyperextension exercises are appropriate for you, too.

If you have lower back pain, just remember that muscle aches and pains are the body's way of telling you something is wrong!  And, exercise may very well be the cure.  But it must target the specific problem.  It might be scary to think of performing exercises that require movement through the torso/mid-section, but it is actually a highly recommended form of therapy.  Let me show you a few secrets that lead to success (found in the videos that come with many of our hyper extension benches).  The same success that many of my patients enjoyed. 

If you want to realize your full potential and optimize your performance as an athlete, you need to work your mid-section.  Your core strength can determine how good or bad you perform on the field.  Every single movement and skill starts with the muscles of your mid-section.  If your strength, flexibility and endurance are not where they should be, then you can forget about being a starter, let alone becoming a star athlete. 

If you are trying to get fit, intensive core training is known to decrease your fat, and provide your body not only strength and health, but also a lean beautiful shape.  So if one of your New Year's resolutions was to get in shape and lose weight, why not get the right home exercise equipment.  This will make it easier to accomplish your goal...  Just in time for swim suit weather!

To compliment your rehabilitation or fitness program, you may also want to select an Inversion Table.  The Apollo Inversion System is built in Germany by Kettler.  They have a fantastic product that is superior to all other inversion tables in the price range.  Another inversion table we recommend is called the Gravity Table by Motion.  This is has no "bells & whistles," but it gets the job done at an economic price.
