The FlexiBack Office Fitness Program™ consists of seven exercises, each of which will take about ONE MINUTE for supremely effective results. And because these exercises harness core muscles and diaphragmatic strength, many a tummy has been flattened and chest expanded as due course.
Using state of the art technology (the latex rubber strap), the FlexiBack Office Fitness Program™ is a series of movements incorporating body and breath to strengthen, elongate and regenerate tired muscle and connective tissue, all while sitting behind a desk at the office or in the home environment.
Welcome to the world of FlexiBack™.
The gym so small it fits in the palm of your hand!
If you experience the usual shoulder pains that come with working in front of a computer or behind a desk for long periods of time, or you experience lower and upper back pain from sitting down too long, then the FlexiBack Office Fitness Program™ is for you.
The FlexiBack Office Fitness Program™ promotes a natural arch in the spine that improves your posture, opens your respiratory system (the lungs), alleviates if not removes lower back pain, and counteracts a hunched-up spine and rounded shoulders. Strengthening the muscles that support the spine has an overall 'flexibility-effect' on the middle and upper spine, thereby decreasing tension and pain that is usually felt in the shoulders, neck and head areas.
Say good-bye to the expensive costs of rehabilitation fees and the "time you lose" in pain!!!
Delivered to you as a simple-to-learn A5 BOOKLET, the FlexiBack™ manual will fit in the draw of your desk for easy access. Open it up and use your computer screen as a support; no longer will you feel fitness and pain-free living is beyond your reach while you're at the office or behind a desk.
Of course the FlexiBack™ exercise program can also be done whilst you're sitting in your lounge room, in your home gym, in the park or anywhere you can sit. It doesn't matter where you are. Once you are familiar with program, you can recieve the benefits anywhere you are and anywhere is a good place to experience the healing and regenerative energy that breath, extension and subtle movement give you.
Have a go at FlexiBack™ Exercise 2
This is the one exercise (of the seven FlexiBack™ exercises) that doesn’t require a latex rubber exercise strap so you can use a sock, a tie, a piece of rope, or even a branch to support the arms.
So long as the hands are about a foot apart (300mm) and you remember... you’re using the sock or tie etc. to support the arms and keep the arms steady, not the arms pulling on and stretching the sock, tie, belt etc.
You will note both Pat and I use a ball for this example; if you have no ball and a chair or stool is all you have at your disposal, they will suffice. Remember to sit with your bottom on the very edge of the seat and your feet pointing relatively straight ahead.
FlexiBack Exercise 2
Following on from Exercise 1 (strap still folded in half length-wise and held about 300mm / 12" apart), take a few breath’s in and out and roll your shoulders around a bit to prepare your body for the next movement.
Remember... keep your arms as relaxed as possible and use the strap to support the arms. The idea isn’t to use your muscles to stretch the strap - it is to use the strap to stretch the muscles.
When you’re ready…
Photo 1. Lift your arms up and hold the strap behind your head around ear height.
Photo 2. As you breathe in, breathe into your belly and gently lift your arms up about 50mm - 2" inches.
Photo 3. As you breathe out from the belly, again gently lift your arms up about 50mm - 2" inches.
Photo 4. As you breathe in, breathe into your belly and gently lift your arms up about 50mm - 2" inches.
Photo 5. As you breathe out, squeeze your tummy in and gently lift your arms up about 50mm - 2" inches.
Photo 6. As you breathe in, breathe into your belly and gently lift your arms up about 50mm - 2" inches.
Photo 7. Breathe in...lift... Breathe out...lift... until you feel that’s as much as your arms can do.
Photo 8. At this point, take another deep breath in through the nose and this time, fill up your upper chest whilst at the same time (focus primarily on your shoulders), gently lift your shoulders up an extra inch.
Hold this position as you powerfully squeeze your tummy in towards your spine on your breath out.
Breathe in, and again, lift from your shoulders to get another inch or two extension in your torso.
Hold this position and repeat the breathing process (breathe in and lift... breathe out... squeeze your tummy in towards your spine).
When ready or when fatigue sets in, as you breathe out, relax your shoulders and allow your arms to gently come down. Roll your shoulders around a bit… breathe… relax… well done!!!
