Gravity boots, otherwise known as inversion boots, allow you to hang head down on a bar. The boots fasten around your ankles and hook into the bar, allowing you to hang upside down safely without the need for any other attachment. This type of hanging has many health benefits for the body.
Age and a sedentary lifestyle causes the spinal discs to lose their hydration over time. Hydration is crucial in order to maintain good cushioning between the spinal vertebrae. Head-down sagging activity helps to hydrate the discs and increase space. This increases the absorption of the essential fluids and nutrients they need to remain plump and flexible and maintain the cushioning effect.
The reverse bar hang not only has a positive effect on the health of the spine, but also relaxes other joints and muscles. Unlike standing and sitting, it is a position that allows decompression of the intervertebral discs.
The head-down overhang is a great position for practising tummy tucks and abdominal tucks. Because of the force of gravity, performing these exercises in this position activates the abdominal muscles the most during their peak tension. This is ideal for developing stronger and more visible abdominal muscles.
