SATURDAY STRENGTH: Jyze - equipment that helps with rehabilitation...

Having breast cancer can cause of sorts of problems, but one of the problems I've found is that I'm having a hard time getting my strength back. I've been going through all of my exercise equipment - to see what might help, especially with my chest and arms. I unearthed this really cool equipment that I bought a few years back. I'm excited to use it - I think it might be a very good thing! It's called Jyze.

I know - sounds weird, but I think you'll like it. One of the things that attracted my attention was that it's good for rehabilitating surgical repairs. Here's some information from their brochure...

Jyze delivers breakthrough utility in rehabilitating injuries and surgical repairs. Jyze's short or long arc exercises improve functional ability and athletic performance and can be used in treating many chronic conditions. With it's simple but easy to use winding action, Jyze provides:

-Extreme versatility with unlimited exercise techniques and uses consistent with today's best rehabilitation protocols

-A spinning action the provides great visual feedback and encourages higher repetitions and longer, stronger workouts

-Improvements in spinal stability, proprioceptive awareness, muscular fitness, and cardiovascular fitness

-Multiple resistance levels with smooth and comfortable pace-based resistance with 3 to 70 pounds of force

-An addition to existing workouts (or it can be used stand-alone for rehabilitation and a return to full function)



I went to their website, and it looks like the system costs $19.95 - for that, you get the yellow resistance band (3-15 pounds) and the orange resistance band (8-30 pounds), a DVD, and some other stuff. I tried to click on the "Shopping" link, but couldn't get anywhere, so if you are interested in this item, you'll probably have to contact them. The email is: info@jyzefit.com The address is: 522 W. 4630 N., Provo, UT 84604
U.S.A.

This item was also featured in Prevention Magazine - to read about it, click HERE.
