Body Blade

[richard]

I was curious if anyone was using the body blade for training and injury prevention?

It is funny, that I just saw a guy using one yesterday, as he walked. I talked to him for awhile and he said that he wasn't certain that it helped build muscles, but that it was good for keeping his heart rate up. He was 75ish and said that he can also whack vicious dogs with it, if necessary.

I used one at physical therapy for rotator cuff damage.

I used one when I was rehabilitating from a stroke, I was not that impressed myself.

I was just curious. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day who is a physical therapist and the conversation came up because of the biggest loser. It was something like hey what is that crazy piece of equipment they are using on the show?? Anyway she said that they are a very effective tool for shoulder rehab and that they really help with all of the small stabilizer muscles. So my thought was that they might be good to use before rehab. Just curious if anyone had experience with them. I am always looking at new ways to train.
