One can also sit with the legs unbent, using something solid as support for the back or leaning on one’s arms. Sitting with bent legs can be done along two major lines ; one with the legs mostly parallel and one where they cross one another.
The parallel position is harking back to, and is often used for, kneeling. The second is a typical pose for meditating.

EXERCISE TOOL FOR FITNESS AND BACK PAIN.
FLEXI-BAR Studies many positive studies have been completed investigating vibration training as a concept. Whilst we can rely on these studies to prove the effectiveness of FLEXI-BAR, we’ve gone one step further and continue to produce positive studies that are specifically related to our product.
Studies take a very long time to complete, are very expensive and can be very invasive to the human body – in other words, a lot of time, effort and money goes into completing a study. We currently have two more studies underway as well as two completed studies – the results of which are below. Feel free to download any report that interests you. If you’re interested in studying FLEXI-BAR and its effects on the deep muscles of the core, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Birmingham University Study
Objective: The study aims to establish the strengthening effect of the transverses abdominals muscle (TrA), comparing the application of stabilization training with vibration training in the form of FLEXI-BAR, whose normal function is regarded as significant in spinal stability.
Results: ‘…increases in strength were observed in subjects involved with FLEXI-BAR program. In particular greater strengthening of the TrA muscle was seen in the history of LBP group.’
Munich Technical University
Objective: This study was designed to compare the effects of shoulder rehabilitation in injured volleyball players using a Theraband and a FLEXI-BAR. Specifically looking at three tests of shoulder proprioception – the ball test, the cable test, and the punch test.
Results: ” In the FLEXI-BAR group the difference between the preliminary and the follow up results is very significant. The same pattern occurs for the accuracy of motion speed on the sub dominant side with only the FLEXI-BAR Group showing a significant difference”
