Bodyblade^®, the patented, revolutionary workout system for fast, effective muscle strengthening, power development, stabilization, and toning, was invented by California physical therapist Bruce Hymanson.

The product is used by several world-class athletes and celebrities, along with countless individuals. The Bodyblade® has been featured by several radio, television, and print outlets including the Today Show, CNN, Fox News, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the San Diego Union-Tribune, and many others.

Being a spinal-cord-injured person, the Bodyblade has allowed me to strengthen, condition, and improve my overall stability. Bodyblade has helped me to function at my highest level.

Bodyblade® is unlike any other piece of exercise equipment on the market today. Most other systems work on the principle of the user attempting to lift a weighted item or stretch an elastic band. The Bodyblade®, however, works on the opposite premise: Once the user drives the blade and the ends begin to move, inertia provides resistance to the body. The greater the flex of the blade, the greater the resist. This progressive resistance automatically adjusts to the level of the user. Thus, the risk of injury through overexertion is greatly reduced.

Football Training with the Bodyblade

One thing everyone seems to agree upon when it comes to football is that today’s game is faster and more challenging than ever before. Football requires that its athletes be in shape. Not only must they be strong and quick but they also must be accurate. The quarterbacks have an especially challenging position to play since they have to be able to change direction rapidly through the cock phase of throwing, acceleration phase and then release. Furthermore, they have to be able to do this without being injured—and as we know, nobody in football likes a quarterback injury!

In order to train for football it is important that players develop their core training, that is the center of their body, and then work their way out to the extremities. Training the core will result in a stronger body as well as more speed and accuracy when it comes to throwing. It is important not only that the quarterback maintain his ability to accurately hit the target, but also to maintain his own wellness within the body. Any acceleration or force production requires braking or force reduction, and in the operation of a human arm, there is no exception to this rule. A player needs to learn how to decelerate after an intense throw so that it does not cause injury, even after repeated throws in a short amount of time.

The Bodyblade is a piece of exercise equipment that helps with core training and coordination. By holding the Bodyblade out and shaking it with increasing levels of intensity, you can focus training on your center. The device changes direction four and half times a second or 270 times a minute. Furthermore, not only can you improve balance and stability with this training, you can also give your full body a workout, from your biceps to your abs to your quads.

The more attention you give your center the more accuracy you can maintain and the better care of your body you can take. Always remember that when it comes to football training core stabilization is paramount. The Bodyblade has been used in the training camps of numerous big-name universities and NFL training grounds. The Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, and New York Jets have all relied on the Bodyblade for core and accuracy training as well as recuperative therapy.

How does the Bodyblade® build muscles?
While the rate of oscillation stays the same, the workout intensifies when the amplitude, or magnitude of the flexing tips, increases. Over the course of just one minute, the ends of the Bodyblade® move back and forth 270 times--that's 270 times your muscles have to resist the movements. The resistance needed to control the blade can range from one pound to 34 pounds depending on the amplitude of the flexing tips.

What other advantages does Bodyblade® have?
Convenience: Bodyblade's® efficient movements provide a complete workout in just minutes, so you're never tempted to skip exercise during your otherwise busy schedule.
Cost: For as little as $49, you can start down the road to a stronger, healthier you.
Size: Bodyblade® is only a few feet long and a couple of pounds, easily fitting in the closet, under the bed, and in dozens of other places conventional weights and machines can't go.

What makes Bodyblade® different from other exercise equipment?
With Bodyblade® there are no weights or elastic bands that can break. You control the intensity and acceleration of the movement, which makes it safer and more effective than other equipment. Bodyblade® is technically known as a dynamic reactive instrument, which means that it matches the force you put into the blade and nothing more. As it moves back and forth four and a half times per second, it uses the principles of inertia to stimulate the muscles and make them stronger. The better conditioned the user, the more enhanced the workout. Yet since the user controls the movement, you can never injure yourself with Bodyblade®. All of this is possible due to the patented technology and the inertial exercise principles built into every Bodyblade®.

How does Bodyblade® create resistance?
Bodyblade® is a reactive, oscillating device that utilizes inertia to generate up to 270 muscle contractions per minute. The laws of inertia state that an object set in motion remains in motion until another force acts upon it to stop or change its direction. You push and pull on the apparatus, which accelerates the blade and creates a force due to the flex or amplitude of the blade. The greater the flex, the greater the resistance that is needed by the body to counteract the destabilizing forces delivered to the body. The blade's movement therefore requires the user to contract his or her muscles in order to neutralize these forces.

How does a Bodyblade® workout translate into calories burned?
Calorie consumption is difficult to calculate using Bodyblade® for several reasons. Varying factors are your age, conditioning level to begin with, weight, mass, lean body mass, and the true intensity of the workout. Since Bodyblade® is a progressive resistance device, which ties very closely to the user's mass and conditioning, results will vary--just as two people running a mile at different paces and conditioning levels would see different results. Since the intensity of training is hard to measure from one individual to another, there is no concrete measure of calories burned, e.g. 100 calories for every 10-minute workout.

We do have two aerobic workouts with two other products in the Bodyblade® line and one aerobic workout with the Classic. There are good reasons to do aerobic and anaerobic exercise to help burn calories and lose weight. The burning of calories via aerobic exercise is great not only for the actual workout, but also for the metabolic changes in your body at the cellular level. A more fit person burns more calories faster and more efficiently then a sedentary person. The key is to change your metabolism and burn fat more efficiently than someone who does not exercise.

The anaerobic exercise, or the more strengthening part of the workout, with Bodyblade® will increase the muscle size to some degree and will provide more fuel for the furnace. The more muscle working, the more calories are burned even at rest. The combination of more mass and more power capability, plus a more efficient metabolism, will change the way you look and feel.

Does Bodyblade® have an aerobic effect on the whole body?
Yes, Bodyblade® can be aerobic. There are several models that can be used for aerobic training. They come with a great aerobic follow-along video guaranteed to make you sweat and burn the calories. You control the intensity of the workout and how much aerobic work you do. As for weight loss, no product alone will guarantee weight loss. You must combine the proper nutritional program with exercise. Aerobic fitness will change the way your body's metabolism functions. The more aerobically fit you are, the better the cells process energy and burn calories. The more sedentary person will store food as fat while a fit person will take the same food and use it for energy. The key is to challenge the body with the Bodyblade®, tone the muscles, strengthen the muscles, and change your metabolism. Give the Bodyblade® workout 21 days and you will see fabulous results.
