    Why?

    Benefits of being upsidedown

    1. Better Posture.

    Inverting can actually increase your posture, because while we are upside down our cores are engaged. Better posture is not just one of those things your mom nagged you about – it’s good for your back too.

    2. Decreased Back Pain.

    Going upside down can increase the distance between the vertebrae in your back, which can temporarily relieve back pain. Inverting could also prevent you from needing surgery if you have a slipped disc. A 2012 study found that 77% of patients who did inversions and physical therapy ended up not needing back surgery, versus 22% of patients who only underwent physical therapy.

    Have a bad back? It’s safer to use an inversion table instead of doing a headstand.

    3. Improved Circulation.

    Hanging upside down makes it feel like all the blood is rushing to your brain. When you invert, your circulation improves which is better for your skin. Better circulation has been linked to fewer wrinkles and less acne.

    4. More Flexibility.

    Having stiff joints is not only uncomfortable – it can also be painful. But inversion has been shown to actually increase flexibility.

    5. Improved Brain Function.

    This one goes hand in hand with #3. If the blood flow throughout your body has increased then you can count on yourbrainpower to increase as well. You might expect improved memory and clearer thinking.

    6. Improved Mood.

    Inverting – either through yoga or using a table – has actually been effective in decreasing feelings of anxiety and stress. That’s not too surprising because if it can help you reduce some of your back pain, that would automatically contribute to stress reduction. In some cases, inversion can even be used to fight depression.

  2. Bridges are highly underrated.
    Similar to planks but much tougher.
    Work your lats, shoulders quads calves ect. Highly recommend doing a hold or two after every gym session.There is various types and you don't need a board or yoga stuff just a floor and two legs feet.
    You can also practice handstands which are on a different level. I was practicing them often but now having golfers elbow im out for a while.
    Free, simple, and mimimalistic.
    You guys are awesome!
