Body Weight Resistance, Suspension, and Inversion Training Exercise
HANG TUFF ™
The Hang Tuff is a complete strength, stretching and body toning apparatus. It combines the best of all worlds in exercise including inversion, body resistance and stretching. This superior piece of gym equipment consists of a durable set of adjustable straps, a fitness sling, and a pair of padded handles. The unique design allows the exercise participant to do a variety of exercises including strength training with the ability to use one's own body weight. It also includes a ¼ inch thick padded fitness sling that is 4 inches wide and 30 inches long. This allows a person to do a multitude of stretching exercises including "wall yoga" or better known as "Kurunda Yoga". These ancient exercises and postures are commonly seen in gymnastic and are also used by many athletes. The device is so simple in its design that anyone can set it up and use it in minutes. The fitness sling and or handles are also removable if so desired by the user.
In addition, two adjustable cam buckles allow the 1 inch by 12 foot straps to be shortened or lengthened. The ablilty to change the length allows for variations in suspension, inversion and resistance postures of exercise. When the straps are shortened or lengthened this puts the fitness sling at higher or lower levels. The exercise participant may also engage in chin-ups, dips, pull-ups, body hangs and stretches for the entire body. At a raised level, the padded fitness sling may be used to engage the lower torso and abdominals by executing leg lifts, pelvic tilts and crunches.
While in the standing position, adjusting the straps to mid level between the pelvic and rib cage allows the user to perform a variety of exercises. In this position, the handles may be used for stretching and resistance training to include the chest, back, arms and torso. Some examples of exercises include curl triceps extensions, plank position for the core, hyperextensions for the back, flies, presses and jack knifes. Also, when sitting in the sling and leaning back completely, the body can be suspended upside down or inverted which helps stretch the hips, back, and upper and lower torso. Abdominal crunches can be performed in this position as well as assisted hand stand push-ups and the "Wrestlers Bridge".
This piece of exercise equipment eliminates the need for inversion tables and inversion boots which can be strenuous to the ankles and knees. The use of the sling also eliminates the need for double suspended arm slings used in other common forms of abdominal exercise equipment. It can be used exclusively for body weight exercise and replace other suspension exercise aparatus used in many gyms and health clubs today.
Another great feature is that it can be affixed to any structure that is over 7 feet high. The straps may be secured to a strong safe horizontal bar or beam. It can be hung easily from a chinning bar, power rack, or suspended from a securley closed and locked solid core door. It can be used at home in a basement or garage by simple securing metal hardware mounted to a wooden stringer, ceiling joist or wall studs. In addition, the HANG TUFF can be hung from a closed and locked solid core door when using the rubber belt buttons available in the shopping cart.
This device gives the practitioner a variety of options which are endless and not just limited to simple body resistance exercise. The HANG TUFF gives a complete work out for the entire body. Many people purchase this unit just for the stretching benifits alone and for the relief of lower back pain. I actually developed this fitness sling with my own wife in mind who suffered daily from just such a condition.

Suspended Inversion
The ability to hang comfortably while stretching the entire spine and alleviating the compression of the lower back, is in itself worth the price alone.
The HANG TUFF is well padded and strong. There is no metal hardware to pinch, rub, or cut into the participant. The cam buckles that secure the sling can be easily moved to the top of the device so they are out of the way and do not interfere with the individual while hanging.
