ABedderWeigh - Core Strengthening

Pull ups in bed! Michael shows us a wide grip, underhand version. With ABedderWeigh, you can adjust whatever pieces you need depending on the muscle groups you are targeting. Shown here to represent the ever multifaceted uses, you can use the bar in varied positions depending on the length of the arms.

Michael is demonstrating another wide grip but with overhand. Suspending his legs he is usuing just his body weight to derive a workout. No weights needed, just your body, and your comfortable bed. If needed extra straps can be utilized to support other body parts, such as your lower back to gain more precision with your stretching, balance, and core fitness needs.

Underhand chest grip. Level three fitness. Great outer pecs, shoulders, and back workout.

Using your stomach and the positioning of your hands and arms, you can focus muscle groups in your abdomin. Tense, release.

The fluidity, the strap suspending the legs, allows for core stability to work with the abdominal muscles.

Michael demonstrates using the handles furthest away from him to gain leverage. This allows him to flex and move his abdominals; also exercising his hamstrings and calves.

If Michael were to hold the position halfway, and/or release slowly, the inner core is working other muscles increasing stability. While working comfortably on a thick mattress, the workout is much more enjoyable.

The higher the legs are suspended and then held, the more workout the abs can get. By holding on to the two handles, the body will not have a tendency to spiral to the left or right. The inner body is working to stabilize your center, working other muscle groups not usually enabled. Overall balance and muscle strengthening will improve total body.

Bringing down legs slowly and holding, works the abs and controls the body?s center.

Releasing the legs and then pulling them into the body, using a variation on the abdominals, demonstrates how the low impact work out is focusing on the core, strengthening from the inside out.

Overall balance will improve daily by straightening the back, looking up, and focusing on pulling knees as close to the chest as possible. This is easy on the back, too.

Placing the grab bars between the length of the arms allows for more rigid control of the upper torso when twisting and moving the lower extremities in a fluid motion.

Michael moves his legs left to right, twisting and working the abs in a stretch and pull method of fluid movement. His arms act as a leverage point to hold and balance.

This is working the lower back, the abs, the shoulders, and the inner core.

Michael attaches the seat strap again to hold his legs. He also attaches the foam padded bar to use to gain leverage to use with his pelvic thrusts. He is using his abdominals, his shoulders, and his lower back.

Michael moves into position from the resting position by tensing his inner core muscles and then lifting his middle body using the leverage gained by having his hands and legs suspended.

Full pelvic tilt and the muscles are to be held briefly and then released to relax. This is a level two excersize and can be held for longer to gain a level three.

Michael is showing the fluidity of having the weight of the body suspended by the legs and the seat strap. He is held in the air but is fluid enough to move with the arms as they naturally move the body when they push up. The mattress gives as he is in position so the entire experience is much easier on joints which is not only ergonomically more advanced, but also more fun.

Michael slowly kisses the mattress, and can push up comfortably. Body and leg support can be adjusted depending on where you place the seat strap on your body.
