How to Do a Single Horizontal Body Blade Workout

The body blade is a unique piece of exercise equipment that creates resistance through the building of inertia. As you begin to shake the blade, you work major muscle groups with a reduced risk of injury. A body blade can be used by virtually anyone, regardless of age or fitness level. A few tips can teach you how to do a single horizontal body blade workout.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Stand straight with your spine tall and your feet about shoulder width apart. Your knees should be bent slightly and your abs and thigh muscles engaged. As you begin to shake the blade, try to release any tension that may be present in your neck by dropping your shoulders down and back.

2. Hold the single body blade in your right hand, positioning the blade so that it is horizontal to the ground. Extend your arm straight out in front of your body and begin to shake the blade up and down using very small, quick movements. You should begin to feel the blade working your abs, obliques and deltoids.

3. Breathe in and out slowly throughout the workout. Hold the single blade in your right hand for about 2 full breaths and then grip the blade with both hands. Hold the blade center for 2 breaths and then slowly drop the blade to about belly button level. Hold again and then slowly lift to forehead level, hold and return to center.

4. Release your right hands, holding the blade with just your left hand and continue shaking for 2 breaths before repeating the exercise. Repeat the workout, alternating hand positions for 2 to 5 minutes.
