Body By Jake Gravity Force Trainer Manual: Tips and Tricks for Effective Workouts



The Jake Gravity Force Trainer works with your own body to make you fitter. Aside from this, it is the same as the Total Gym in that you can choose from resistance levels. It allows you to do one thing that other fitness machines cannot and that is to control gravity. It allows you to work out as much as you want to.

Ben understands that many members will have their own athletic programs that they are doing, such as bodybuilding, martial arts, yoga, endurance training, or specific athletic coaching for basketball, baseball, soccer etc., with their team trainers.He has this to say about combining your program with the ATG program:


How can this be? Simply put, by wrapping the arms or legs, the nervous system senses extreme fatigue in the limbs. As such, your body is going to do whatever it can to maintain force and keep itself from failing. To compensate, your nervous system recruits more muscle from nonrestricted limbs.


Carrying weight in our feet vs. our hands puts our weight much lower on the bike, allowing the bike and us to float over terrain more smoothly. Carrying weight in our hands creates a higher center of gravity, making it easier for our body to get knocked out of position by uneven terrain and obstacles.


Each level of the spinal cord is tested by assessing the dermatome or specific body section affected by the nerve at each level of the cord. In testing, motor ability is assessed by moving every joint in your body. Assessments are made to see if you can move under your own power, positioned so gravity is reduced, or unable to move. Sensation is assessed for gross and fine sensation. Both gross sensation, measured using a cotton swab, and fine motor sensation, measured using a sharp point, are tested. Sensation is measured by full feeling, feeling present but feels different and no feeling.


Besides a loss of sensation or motor function, injury to the spinal cord leads to other changes in the body. Your body is still working below the level of injury. It is just that messages to and from your brain are not being communicated through the site of injury. You will have to provide your body with the necessary care manually. Complications of spinal cord injury are possibly preventable with good healthcare, diet and physical activity although sometimes they occur even with the best of intentions. The chart below indicates the secondary complications of spinal cord injury and ideas about how to combat them.


In polio treatment centers, those affected were provided range of motion by volunteers for hours at a time. This constant movement provided the body with the necessary activity that was not being provided internally. Aquatic therapy, in warm water, relaxed muscles and provided the buoyancy to help support limbs. Moving a body part on your own might be too difficult due to gravity but the added buoyancy of the water reduced the difficulty of overcoming gravity with movement. Another essential element for treatment was ensuring oxygenation for those who had difficulty breathing. This allowed individuals a chance to survive until enough strength was regained to participate in additional therapies. There were other treatments as well, but these were the mainstays of the program. 2ff7e9595c
