We are often asked which Bodyblade model (Pro / Classic / CxT) someone should use. This is an excellent question!

The simple answer is: it depends. It depends on multiple factors; such as someone’s strength, balance, coordination, cardiovascular fitness, desire to be challenged, training goals, and whether someone is using Bodyblade as part of their rehabilitation program.

(If using for rehabilitation, we always differ to someone’s health care provider as they are most familiar with their patient’s history and may want their patient to stay within certain resistance parameters)

Choosing the right Bodyblade model does not depend on someone’s age, s*x, height, or weight. Taking a functional approach to matching someone with the right Bodyblade model is much more important than matching people based on criteria that does not define their ability to use Bodyblade.

Once you have completed a brief self-assessment based on the functional factors mentioned above [strength, balance, coordination, cardiovascular fitness, desire to be challenged, training goals, whether using for rehab] you will want to select the Bodyblade model that provides you with the resistance level you feel best matches where you are and what you want to accomplish.

Generally: The Pro model provides the greatest overall resistance. The CxT model provides the lightest overall resistance. And the Classic model provides an intermediate level of resistance between the CxT and the Pro.

There is a ton of variability and nuance such as modifying flex intensity, duration of each exercise, body position, orientation of the blade, and even the model being used that allows us to further tailor someone’s training to match their ability level and we will expand on this in future posts.

I’m the meantime, please comment down below with any questions or share which model you use!

Bodyblade was created by physical therapist, Bruce Hymanson, to provide his patients with an accessible method of training that will build the body from the center out. This is as true today as it was 30 years ago.

Whether your workout is at the start, end, or middle of your day; you did it, and that is reason enough to celebrate!

Having a proper arm care program is essential for all throwing athletes.

Movements such as the one shown here are great for enhancing shoulder stability while also helping to enhance motor control and coordination.

Preparing the athlete to control both rapid acceleration and deceleration of their body throughout this movement is critical to ensure protection of the joints and aid in injury prevention. The added bonus is increased throwing velocity and improved overall performance.

Bodyblade meets you where you are, to get you where you want to be.

When it comes to our health, we all have different goals and motivations for reaching those goals. For some it is to improve the way they feel, others the way they move. Someone’s goal may be to improve strength or stamina or all of the above. Usually, these goals are connected to a deeper WHY.

The key here is finding the method of training that best fits your goals and surrounding yourself with people who support you in your pursuit of optimal wellness.

We believe Bodyblade can play a vital role in any wellness program and we are here to support you in your journey to improved health!

As a rehabilitation professional, your goal is to improve the way your patients move in a tri-plane environment.

The elements we believe contribute to this process are stabilization, mobility, strength, endurance, power, balance, and coordination. The compilation of these elements bring us to our ultimate goal: FUNCTION. Bodyblade, in its unique application, contributes to improving all of the elements mentioned above!

Which Bodyblade model will provide me with the most resistance?

While all Bodyblade models provide a range of resistance depending on the amount of flex in the blade (flex intensity) the Pro will provide you with the greatest overall resistance of our 3 models.

The added length, weight, and momentum of the Pro help to amplify the inertial force of the blade to provide you with the greatest challenge in the shortest period of time.

Check out our website to learn more about the different Bodyblade models we offer!

Performing a lateral lunge in combination with the chest press is a great way to work on leg strength, hip stability, balance, and coordination.

This is a great way to emphasize a frontal plane movement with a sagittal plane exercise and is sure to provide you with a challenge!
