Until I busted my knee playing softball, I used this thing every morning along with the inversion gravity boots. Great workout in such a short time! I would do crunches and "reverse" squats, come down and do a couple of pull-ups. It takes some getting used to as far as just hanging there, to help take pressure off of your spine for people with back problems. But feels good once your accustomed to it.

I have had cervical fusion on C6 & C7 and also have degenerative athritise on C2 & C3. This has been a god send. I have no room for a large inversion table. The Teeter Hang Ups with the gavity boots are just what the doctor ordered. If you're of little physical condition, you may have a problem getting on and off. If that's the case, go for the inversion table.

I just got these boots a few weeks back after doing some research for an inversion machine and realized these would exactly fit my needs/wants without taking alot of my cash and alot of exercise room space. I had a pre-existing pullup bar which was situated next to the I-beam in my basement and these boots fit PERFECTLY over the bar. So to use the boots I simply grab onto the I-beam and swimg my feet up to the pull-up bar and hook on then let myself down, and when I'm done I pull myself back up to the I-beam to hold on while unhooking. The boots themselves are great. Lightweight but feel very study. My only disappointment is that the calf support don't seem to do much, and the foam around where the front of your foot hits the boot while hanging could be thicker/softer. After hanging for a few mins if I go totally relaxed the front of my foot hurts a bit. I guess i could tighten the boots more so that my foot doesn't hit the boot at all. All in all its a great product and I would recommend them to anyone wanting an inversion machine but doesn't want to pay the price or give up the space necessary for a full inversion machine, although my method does require you have the stength to pull yourself up to unhook yourself.
