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.
"Rotating
or wiggling in front or behind while standing or sitting provides
a surprisingly thorough core workout. In a decade, he has sold
more than 600,000 and gained the endorsement of such regular
users as Randy Johnson (who simulates the throwing motion
with it) and heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis."
Chicago Tribune
"The
Bodyblade gives you good vibrations. Flapping the long flexible
strip creates hundreds of muscle contractions... By rapidly
flapping the Bodyblade, you can have up to 270 muscle contractions
per minute." San Diego Union-Tribune
"Shake
your way into shape.
A former
rehabilitation device, this 5-foot ski-like beam flaps like
a set of wings when you shake it, working arm, shoulder and
core muscles.
...A surprisingly
challenging toning and strength workout from the waist up.
Your muscles must strain to stabilize the blades' G-forces.
Seems easy for the first 10 seconds or so, but becomes more
difficult. Superb way to augment regular workouts, and you
can use it while watching TV or walking the dog. Useful video
workout included." Los Angeles Times

I have been using the Bodyblade for over five years
now and I wouldn't be in the situation I am in now if
it weren't for the Bodyblade. As a professional athlete
playing over a 150 games a year, it's very easy for body
parts to break down. The Bodyblade has helped keep my
shoulder in good enough shape that I haven't missed
a day from a shoulder injury since I started working
with the Bodyblade. I can honestly say that without
this piece of equipment (which I only have to use two/three
times a week for five minutes) I might not still
be pitching. Thank you Bodyblade.

I thought driving my Indycar was the best way to
train my driving muscles. But my trainer, Jim Leo, started
me using the Bodyblade, and I--for the first time--felt
the same fatigue as driving the car. The nice thing
is that I now train the same muscles without having
to drive 225 mph. Good stuff.

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.

I did use the blade quite a bit prior to the 2004
Games. I was having a lot of shoulder problems leading up
to the Olympics. The Bodyblade was a large part of my rehab--it truly made a difference in keeping my shoulders in tact,
not to mention giving my entire body a workout at the same time!
Awesome product!

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.

"This is a wonderful product. I am disabled
and overweight and on the low-carb diet and one and a half years of the
Bodyblade. I've actually dropped four dress sizes and can walk
much better! Thanks for a fabulous product!"

"An associate of mine has just ordered a Bodyblade
from you! I have been using the product, a PRO model, for
the past 13 months and have seen some excellent results;
therefore I have recommended it to a number of friends.
I use my Bodyblade three to four times per week for between 15-20
minutes per session working with variations of the prescribed
motions. Combined with a sensible diet and some running,
I have reached what I believe to be an optimum body weight
and a pretty decent physique...in a very convenient and
low-risk manner. Golf is my passion (Scratch Handicapper)
and I am convinced that the strength and tone that I have
added and maintained have contributed to an improvement
in my overall game. My flexibility is better, I have more
stamina to play four-day events, and I have definitely added
length without increasing effort.
Best wishes and I hope that you sell a gazillion.
P.S. I also travel with mine in my golf bag...FYI the core
stabilization exercise is without question the most difficult
and my least favorite but undoubtedly the most beneficial!"

"I've been using the Bodyblade for about three months.
In this time I've been able to lose over 40 pounds using it
and sticking to a low-fat diet. Over six inches in my waist
alone. Now it's helping me to tone up. Thanks for the help."
Neal C

"I just wanted to thank you for making such a great product.
It is the only exercise 'program' I have ever stuck with.
In less than 10 minutes per day I'm able to maintain healthy
muscle tone and have lost 30 pounds during the year. Thanks
again!"
R Webb

"A friend suggested the Bodyblade to me. I used the Internet
to find your phone number. I have lost 70 pounds and kept
it off! I'm 76 years old and this seems to be what I needed."
Rebecca D

"I'm 58; when I was 56 and 189 pounds I bought a Bodyblade
Classic. I now weigh 146 pounds. I changed my eating habits
but I never dieted. Not bad for an old couch potato! Thanks
for everything."
Larry L

"My wife bought my Bodyblade about a year ago after speaking
to you directly as to which one she should get. I have
been using it almost every day for mostly 10-minute workouts,
sometimes 20 or even 30 on weekends. I feel a big difference.
I have a friend who bought a Bowflex around the same
time. He is bulky and large now but somewhat slow and
uncoordinated. The blade can give you cat-like agility
and make you far more coordinated. It must be the free-form exercise positions and all those reps. I have not
lost much weight over the last year. In fact I have only
lost 12 lbs total. I did go down two pants sizes, 42-38.
Jacket went up from 48 to 52. I am 41 and weigh 250 now.
I quit smoking, drinking caffeinated drinks, and I feel like
a million dollars. Just thought you might want to know
that the Bodyblade brought me around and made working
out an enjoyable experience as I can workout anywhere
with it."
Jim S

"I have been a Bodyblade user for the last six years. Exercising
with Bodyblade has increased my mid-section strength as
well as reduced my waistline. I noticed in as soon as two
weeks I have lost one inch off my waistline and my back
does not ache after I cut the lawn. I also run with more
rhythm."

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.
