How to rejuvenate your body: learn from Count Dracula

Today Layfhaker happy to be aired once you post on our steep ghetto-vorkautera and advocate the harmonious interweaving of sports in the life of Yuri Balabanov. The last time Juri talked about one a very topical issue - Sport is, a proper diet is, but also the stomach for some reason, too, there are not going to go anywhere. During the discussion, one of the readers mentioned such a thing as a smart inversion table, and today we share with you the experience and advice on the use of Jüri this wonderful unit.

Count Dracula could be anyone. Just take your time and do not force the action!

Did you meet on the streets of small nimble old women and old men-Borovichka... So, once they were young and strong. growth process is continued until twenty-five years, and of the same age the reverse process: condenses and dries the cartilage in intervertebral discs, bones, too, as it were compacted - "man grows down". I do not know about you, but I was at the time the prospect is very scared. It was in those days, when I was already in full

I hopped on containers and walked along the arcs of bridges Hamburg - that is, one of the main factors reducing the growth disappeared, I weighed 70 kilograms and is no longer bore the twenty-eight kilos of extra weight. I felt completely healthy, but it was not so ...

After another "run" took the risk of their research "shrinkage." At first, I measure your height, contrasted with age. Forty years old, one hundred and eighty centimeters. A twenty-five centimeter was more - I do remember. So began. I made a notch in the door jamb, promising myself that this will be my lower limit. That is, the above - please, and lower - fig. Further - study. I find out all about the vertebrae and bones. Intuitively, I guess, that in this situation assists swimming. Water is denser than air and dragging body through the water, it unintentionally lengthened.

Neighbors, yoga practitioners are aware of the vertebrae and compressing said that they (the neighbors-yogis) is not threatened: in the yogic asanas lot of stretches and exercises for flexibility. The spine is bent, is formed between the vertebrae space, there comes some kind of liquid that does not dry out cartilage.

I went to the familiar gymnasts. Gymnasts laughed yogis and was told that they have a better exercise, they just have to do, because the vault require particular attention to the spine. Exercise is: pull up on the bar, to throw him legs bent at the knees, and hang upside down in such a way.

Dracula's Trail

Perhaps, in this exercise, I would have stopped had it not been a trip to Romania. There are good friends lead me to the Bran Castle, which is located on a high mountain just a few kilometers from the town of Brasov - the place where he lived a well-known Count Tepes Dracula, nicknamed by local immortal vampire. So tell me, why Vlad Tepes called the bat. It turns out that even then was known the secret of eternal youth, namely, special sports equipment, allowing to hang upside down like a bat, relax at the same time all the muscles, vertebrae and even thoughts. By the way, this can not be achieved, hanging on the bar: bent and strained knees do not allow the body to relax completely.

We go up to the attic of the castle, where the projectile is hidden from the eyes of tourists, as well as of the whole of humanity. The shell is a solid wooden boots, which, as I explained, were once lined with sheep fur. By boots attached weighty chain, the other end of which is inserted into the iron ring hanging under the roof. I notice that the device is more like not a means to eternal life, as an instrument of torture. Friends laugh: "So long, and thought." The legend of the vampire bats to go with the moment when one of the servants in the evening accidentally penetrated into the attic to see Vlad Tepes, hanging under the roof rafters upside down.

It is said that the Impaler hung so all night long. As it is quite possible to believe, because the famous magician David Copperfield admitted that he enjoys similar device, designed in the likeness of "boots" Dracula, and hangs every day several hours. Even the newspaper at that time to read - to not be bored.

Of course, returning to Hamburg, I order myself exactly such a thing as that Copperfield. Price decent - two hundred and fifty euros. Buy it because it has realized that no matter how I campaigned for ghetto street workout and did not say that all sports equipment can be found in nature, such in nature and will not be.

Practice

A week later, delivered the bomb. This is a fairly narrow upholstered bench, similar to the ironing board, anchored in the middle of stable legs. Starting its position - grip for feet below the top of the head. Plant your feet in a special bracket, and then, leaning back on the surface of the bench, slowly begin to put itself in an inverted position.

I still have a couple of pictures from that time. It's me, the happy owner of "instrument of eternal youth," tell the camera the story of Count Dracula.

Here is the process of "turning":

I have already said that to compare this unit hanging from hovering on the bar does not make sense. When completely relaxed body stretched everything vertebrae and joints; blood while rushes to your head so that the head seems to be about to crack, at the same time there comes a feeling of euphoria - any thoughts about the problems; if you are going out into the sky.

The device, however, is equipped with a limiter that prevents the first day to hang upside down, as did Dracula. When I still tried to experience what it feels great "vampire" that scared myself. Face swells enormously, and the veins on his forehead ready to burst. Here is the photo of my first attempt to hang vertically without habits and training. Left - normal position; right - upside down (picture, of course, reversed in order to be able to compare the two faces).

So, just warning you - better to start with an almost horizontal position, adding a centimeter a day. The most amazing thing is that the body quickly adapts to the new position of the body, and after six months even hang nicely, and return to normal double pleasure. By the way, when, after the humiliation of himself has taken its normal position and stood up, then nearly fainted. And the swelling face and semiconscious state indicate that the body is not stabilized system circulation and the heart is not able to respond to the decrease in the load, continuing to pump like crazy pump. This is a very important point: playing sports, we constantly train your heart to increase the load, and never - to decrease it. And this training is just as important, if not more!

Result

Results for fifty three years:

• I was no longer attracted to nicotine, cigarette causes mild disgust.
• Person (normally) has ceased to swell - and it often have swollen; some chronically, and the swelling many take for obesity. By fifty-three years, I got a clear relief of persons disappeared wrinkles around eyes, the so-called "crow's feet".
• Pressure has stabilized, and even at very high loads and nervous stress, it does not jump as before.
• Due to the stretching of the spine and the bones of my height increased by two centimeters! Now he is eighty-two meters against the previous meter eighty.
• He pulled stomach - I already talked about lowering of internal organs.
• I'm not afraid of slopes more and especially out of the inclined position, when many, even among the young, dizzy.
• Increased flexibility of the spine and knees. Now with my meniscus of the operated on one leg and injured another, I can not just sit on your heels " but also to take a pose "lotus" - do not cross legs, namely the braid them (those who do this exercise, you know what I).
• I became easier to cope with physical exertion.
• And finally, due to the balanced operation of the system of blood supply, I no longer blush when excited or lie :)

In general, we can say that Count Dracula was not a fool and he knew a lot about the rejuvenation of the body.

It was not advertising sports equipment; I just spoke about the device, which, I confess, does not exist in nature. If a man have any questions, ask, happy to answer. I just want to warn you that you should start very gently, without forcing events. And again, one of my friends from the First Moscow City Hospital, a radiologist by profession, warned that after the "Visa Dracula" in any case can not be somewhere to run, even walk. It is better to slowly slip away from the appliance and immediately lie down on the floor. Otherwise, you can get a pinched nerve vertebrates.

On this happy note saying goodbye to the next post.

This is me now, in '53.

With best regards and wishes of success, Yuri Balabanov. ©
