Back in the early 80’s a movie with Richard Gere, American Gigolo, was at the theaters (which who wouldn’t want to see a move staring Mr. Gere) anyway a scene in the movie had him hanging upside down while wearing a pair of inversion boots.  I was instantly obsessed and had to have a pair.  Took me awhile to find them and if I remember correctly I paid way too much for them, but after installing a chin-up bar in the hallway I couldn’t have been happier.  I had those things on my legs daily pretending I was getting ready for my own movie!

So move a head a few years (okay a few decades) and what comes up on Amazon suggestive sell page but a new pair of inversion boots.  Moves a pair to the cart… also searches for a stand alone chin-up bar… moves one of those to the cart… hits purchase and patiently awaits for the UPS delivery.  Merchandise arrives, bar is assembled and placed outside for now and inversion boots are ready to be placed on the legs for a quick tryout.  I actually made it this far before reality kicked in and it dawned on me that hanging upside down on a bar with inversion boots might not be the most practical exercise to attempt with a hip replacement.  Oh well so much for reliving the past.
