Start by getting yourself into the full inversion position. Then reach up and grasp the middle handle grips. While holding the grips push your hips forward at the same time arching your back and tilting your head back so that your body forms a bow shape. Inhale deeply and exhale completely. Hold this pose as long as is comfortable and when ready simply relax the arch in your back returning to full inversion then exit your full inversion.

Give Your Feet a Break

The average person will walk over 65,000 miles during their lifetime. If you where to walk that distance in a straight line you would circle the earth 3 times! Now with all that walking it’s no wonder our feet get sore.

We all know that nothing feels quit as good to sore feet as getting nice long massage. Unfortunately most of us don’t have the money to hire a full time masseuse. But for the price of a couple visits to a good masseuse you can pick up the Thumper Versa Pro which is like having your own masseuse, only better . The Thumper Versa pro foot massager provides a professional massage, never gets tired and in the long run will cost you much less than regular visits to a massage therapist.
