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.
