IF IT'S SPINNING IT'S WORKING!
Unlike other devices which do not give adequate response, it is immediately apparent when this device is operating properly. It is spinning. Though it sounds simple, many individuals report it takes several tries to get it going. It has no motor or other input except for that of the user, who by making rotary hand motions keeps the wheels of the device spinning. When they stop, it stops. It cannot be faked or appear to work if its not being used properly.
In order to keep Wonderweight spinning one must engage both the mind and the body.
This device has a surprising range of benefits.
Most imoprtantly it can safely engage injured muscles without strain.
POSTURE AND CORE STRENGTHENING
An essential factor in Rotator Cuff injury prevention is maintaining proper posture.
It’s impossible to slouch and spin Wonderweight, even in a sitting position.
Used with a Swiss ball or balance board Wonderweight helps avoid physical imbalances by strengthening opposing muscle groups in the abdomen, the upper and lower back.
Wonderweight is especially designed for Rotary Motion Training of the arm and shoulder. This type of low RPM, 200-300 revolutions per minute combined with the resistance of the off center weight gives each of the two connected wheels momentum and inertia.
The effect of this type of rotary motion can also be observed when a washing machine is spinning off-balance. As a washing machine spins with too heavy a load on one side of the drum, the machine will move sideways. This force and action is caused by the rotating imbalance. This imbalance and resulting force is exerted outward and the sideways direction must be compensated for. This is exactly how the muscles in the arm act, as a resistance to the spinning wheels of Wonderweight. It is this eccentric rotary motion for which the body compensates by engaging the skeletal system, working more muscle groups as RPMs and weight is increased.
It is exactly this action, which requires the coordination of the arm and shoulder muscles that may in fact improve the quality of neurological interaction and enhance brain function. Some users have reported improved coordination. Unlike using a dead weight, the spinning motion demands a constant resistance and the user must compensate for it continually. This motion causes the numerous muscle groups from the wrists through the arm and into the shoulder to work together in harmony with each other, including the Rotator Cuff Muscles.
