Great tool for rehab and fitness.
I have been a physical therapist for 17 years and the Bodyblade has been an important part of my practice as well as my fitness program.  I remember that I was impressed with the Bodyblade when it came out and I am still just as impressed.  I have two Lites and a Classic at home.  I came on line today to purchase another for home and more for our new rehab clinic.  The Bodyblade was in the top portion of my equipment list for the new clinic. I use it for lots of orthopedic patients but it can be good for neuro patients as well such as paraplegics and more.  It is light, portable, fun and effective.<br /><br />Sure, I do get some people who can't figure out how to make it work but many do figure it out, some faster than others.  The people that "get it" are impressed with it's effectiveness and have fun doing it.  Some purchase their own for home.<br /><br />Regarding sizes:  The Lite is fantastic for rehab of the shoulder, especially for single-armed exercises.  I use them at home for straight armed exercises as well since the straight armed exercises are more challenging.  The CXT is great for beginner core strength and for progressing shoulder rehab.  I personally think that lots of folks could get by with a CXT for some of the more difficult core exercises.  I am a pretty fit guy (but only 155#) and find that I have to decrease the intensity of my oscillations of the Classic quite a bit to last very long on some of the core exercises.  That's why I'm purchasing a CXT for home.  If a person can get two blades for fitness, I would recommend the CXT and the Classic.  I can't imagine how difficult the Pro model must feel.  I would recommend that for big, strong college and professional athletes.<br /><br />The blades are so easy to store and you can take them with you to exercise on vacation or outdoors, etc.  They are very durable as well.<br /><br />The videos are educational and the workouts are good.  A person can be so creative with these, so "the sky is the limit" as to what you can do with these.<br /><br />I still believe that Bruce helped revolutionize rehabilitation and fitness with the invention of the Bodyblade.  Thanks, Bruce.
