Is there any easy way of getting your gravity boots hooked onto bar when you are on your own? I don't feel I have the strength to get up!

I climb up the wall across from the bar, like Spider Man. Then, hook one boot onto the bar at a time. Bare feet have better traction than socks.

I use them by myself all the time. Basically you just kick your legs up and press against the bar then hook them one by one. There are a few videos showing how I believe on YouTube.

Yes!That was a problem for me initially. After my brother went out of town, I discovered that if I placed one hand on the grip bar and the other hand on the bar where u actually hooked your legs, it became as easy as pie.

For me it is not hard, but if you feel that younare not strong enough, perhaps you need to look at the other inversion tables available, they are also quite good.

Not really. Sorry. You can use a stool, which helps but I wouldn't call it easy.

Put the foot stands on first; then slide the bar inside. You may have to toggle the bar a bit; but it slides in the opening quite well.

Yes; fairly. You are able to build it without the bar from the start. If you build it with the bar you would have to knock of the cap on the bottom of the leg, pull the attachment off that the bar sets on and then put the cap back on. Not too hard but would take at least 10 minutes. Hope that helps!

It depends on how actively you exercise and how good is your balance. I bought the bars for another model and as yet have not installed them. But If I took it outside and really grabbed some air, may go ahead and install. Otherwise using in a corner or near some furniture is helpful if you need to stabilize. You can always order later if unsure.

Stand on the bar and adjust the lock to fit your ankle.. It slides in and out when you are not reclining.. My Doctor says best to relax your ankle when inverted so you are notputting unnecessary pressure on your ankles. takes time to get use to it.

just a simple bar. the cups that hold your feet are too mobile. They have a tenancy to slip too much. I had to secure them down with a pair of rubber bands.

That's a awesome question lol. I think you may be bent over to much causing your elbows to dig through the pads which aren't to Thick. They are inexpensive enough to try in my opinion. Just make sure you have room on your bars.

Yes the bar can come up but it does not work well..there are other better learn to walk items out the ..plus the button never worked right to make the sounds ..we were disappointed with this purchase ..

I don't think that would work. Per the video, your foot will be on the ground when you first step in for safety. My pullup bar isn't very high either so I lean my feet forward some to create more room. I know sometimes I lose the full extension too.

If you weigh over 175lbs, then you'll have to anchor the legs down with some sort of tie downs that are attached to a board beneath the tower. As for the gravity boots, I would say no. Don't even attempt to use those on this tower. It will tip over.

Hi Lakesha. Not sure what, Teeter, estimates the weight limit to be, but, I weigh no more than 170 lbs. and as I was hanging upside down, one of the boot straps just broke/snapped. Yeah, pretty scary. I asked Teeter to send me a replacement and they said, "No, you have to box-up and mail in the set of boots for them to inspect, and, they will consider replacing the strap". I don't have time for this... I just wanted a replacement strap. Regardless of the broken strap, I still miss hanging upside down and doing my reverse sit-ups. Wish they would just sell replacement straps so I could get on with the reverse gravity workout. Lawman Hi Lakesha.

I put to plates on the floor to elevate my heels. This way I can push down on my heels when I lift and can feel it better in my hamstrings and glutes. It is not as good as a straight bar, but easier on your back.

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

Yes you should be able to use this device with gravity boots, but you should purchase the stabilizer bar for added support. It is a very stable device.

Hopefully this will help. Lay on a flat surface, put the long bar in the top lines first, then the arm bars. It can be a pain the first time seems like you do this and this falls out. Just take your time and practice, practice. Hang, be gentle because the bars will fall out. Stay calm replace the bar and continue hanging. To do the foot rest the bar will fall out as you attach to the chair. So attach first, sit down in the chair put the bar in the foot rest then sit back relax and have a drink. Hope this is what you want.

Sounds like you need to loosen the bar that holds your feet in place one notch.

I have the same problem, I have a pullup bar that stands on the floor. The band still worked for me pretty well. What I had to do is bend my legs and the band rides down my thigh as I start the pullup but then as I straighten my legs the pressure comes off the thigh. It was quite awkward at first, but I got used to the motion and now I don't even notice it. They key to this is where you situation the band on the chinup bar. For example, on a wide grip chinup you need to situation the band just INSIDE your hand on the side that you're putting your foot into on the support strap. That way the strap won't cross your body or run outside your leg making it harder to bend your knees. Long story short, you can make it work, and in my opinion it is worth using the product. I've seen huge gains with it. Cheers. Ben.
