The Lebert Buddy SystemTM is designed to be used by two people simultaneously, so you can easily partner up for a total body workout. Through bilateral training and resistance, this versatile trainer can provide a total bodyweight workout for two people at the same time.
Innovative Design
Designed with three main handles, the Lebert Buddy System is designed to be used by two people at once. It consists of three nylon straps that are all connected, with one middle strap that moves easily between partners for easy transition between exercises. These flexible nylon straps allow for pulling and stretching in almost any direction.
Simultaneous Exercises for Both Partners
In most exercises, one person grounds the exercise for the other by holding the center strap on one end. The second person holds two straps on the other side of the Lebert Buddy System, thereby creating even resistance. This person can pull on the straps with both arms in alternating motions or together, providing bodyweight exercises that are very similar to those of large workout equipment at the gym. The Lebert Buddy System, however, also provides a workout for the grounding partner. Exercises geared for different parts of the body can be performed, such as running and stretching exercises.
Tools for Teamwork
The Lebert Buddy system not only provides a total-body workout, but also teaches teamwork skills. The Lebert Buddy system is the perfect workout tool for sports teams or friends who want to motivate each other to get fit and stay on track. Boot camps, weight camps, and military training classes could also benefit from the dual workout provided by this athletic gear. This system can boost self-esteem during a resistance workout that makes partners work together for mutual self-improvement.

Sitting on the ground to stretch can do more harm than good for those recovering from injuries or with decreased mobility. Even if you are in perfect health, you can get more from your yoga, Pilates, or other exercise routine using a Flexcushion.
What Is a Flexcushion?
The Flexcushion is a lightweight wedge-shaped block inspired by designer Nao Sakata’s experience with Sumo training. In attempting to perform a training exercise similar to the splits, he discovered that stretching while sitting on a straw bag was more comfortable and effective. This two-inch padding eventually became the model for the Flexcushion.
How Does it Work?
The slant of the cushion uses gravity to straighten the spine and assist in stretching. The padding also allows for a more comfortable workout in floor exercises. There are even a few standing exercises that can utilize the Flexcushion to build leg strength.
Who Can Benefit from the Flexcushion?
This device corrects posture and leads to greater flexibility and core strength. It can even help rehabilitate injured muscles. The Flexcushion is used in many gyms and clinics, and by dancers and other athletes around the world.
How Do You Use It?
There are a variety of exercises designed for use with the Flexcushion, but it can be incorporated into virtually any stretching or strength-related floor exercise routine. If you are able, start with the splits-like stretch it was originally designed to enhance!
How Do I Know It’s Good?
This product is endorsed by the International Sumo Federation and the Japan Stretching Association. It has also received glowing testimonials from massage therapists, professors, athletes, and trainers.

“I love the Flexcushion , my coaches love the Flexcushion , and my athletes and clients love the Flexcushion. Flexcushion makes almost every stretch better. You have to get one and try it!” – Michael Boyle, Mike Boyle Strength & Conditioning
