The Inversion Machine and Captain’s Chair is a nifty piece of exercise equipment that effectively exercises the abs, namely the rectus abdominis as well as the internal and external oblique muscles. Although the main function of the captain’s chair is to work the abdominal muscles, the captain’s chair also exercises the hip flexors, depending on the position of the person.

The Inversion Machine and Captain’s Chair can be considered more of a therapeutic piece of equipment rather than an exercise equipment as it is used mostly to strengthen the back or spine. Inversion machines are also widely used as a form of physiotherapy for patients with back or spinal injuries, who are seeking to strengthen their spine or back.

The inversion machine and captain’s chair is a piece of exercise equipment that strives to provide both these functions. While using the inversion mode, the cushioned bench stretches the back to strengthen the back muscles. When used as a captain’s chair, it serves to strengthen the abdominal muscles.

Sometimes, in the process of strengthening one’s abdominal muscles, there is a tendency to strain one’s neck or back. The inversion machine and captain’s chair eliminates this risk as it enables one to stay in the proper form as when users grip the foam-padded handles, their feet are held stable by the foot pad. The inversion bench stretches the back gently utilizing only gravity, effectively relieving any strain on the spine or vertebrae. Regular usage will promote strong abdominal and spinal muscles.

The auto-stop avoids any over-inversion while handholds ensure a smooth return to an upright position. The machine is made all the more stable with anti-slip rubber leg caps. How much for gain with no pain? USD $199.95.
