At a recent event to support entrepreneurs in Southwest Florida, Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk) gave praises to a new anti-gravity bungee fitness exercise concept developed by Patty Cummings of Cape Coral, Florida. Lou first tried the funny looking concept in 2018 and was in awe of its’ results. Sometimes the simple things are what have the largest impact.
IN THE REAL WORLD AND ESPECIALLY DURING AND AFTER COVID…
Many people reach a point after weight gain, and or physical limitations created by the excess weight, workout abuse, age, or other circumstances, where they get discouraged and give up on even trying to exercise.
Sadly, it is at this point when increased blood and lymph flow (gained by exercising) is the most crucial for the body to heal itself and rev up the metabolism to burn fat. Unfortunately, by not exercising, one becomes more sedentary, increasing additional health risks and fitness problems. The wrong exercise can also interfere with desired results by making injuries worse, and/or creating new ones. Astro-Durance allows any size client to be able to exercise and rev their metabolism to burn fat fast. The bungee assistance makes everyone feel lighter and move with buoyancy.
Fitness Icon Lou Ferrigno talks about Astro-Durance Bungee Systems.
“Astro-durance® is a phenomenal piece of equipment. Especially for people who’ve had surgery, who have a hard time exercising, they can get their mobility back with this unit. It’s fantastic.
“There was a time when I was very young as a kid, I told people about exercising and they would laugh at me.
“I’ll tell ya a funny story. When I was a kid, I couldn’t afford weights. So what I would do, I would go to the junk yard and I would get these pails and cement. I would fill them with cement and make my own makeshift barbells because I was so into fitness. It gives you a wonderful sense of being.
“I read a lot of comic books when I was young because I was always fascinated with power, so fast forward many years later and now we have men and women working out best , with the technology today especially. There’s always something you can do to improve the body because everything about life is about the mind and the body. We only have one life to live. We only live once and it’s so important to pay attention and listen to your body. Especially, there’s so many things you can do to improve your lifestyle, your well- being and everything, that’s why I’ve been working out now for 55 years.
“I’m 69 now and nobody looks like this at 69. But what I’m excited about is there is so much you can do today besides Astro-Durance, there’s other exercises, there’s no excuse that you can’t exercise. It’s all about yourself, it’s important because there is so much obesity in this country, there’s so many people that are out of shape, that’s why my motto, “I want to Make America Healthy Again”!
“That’s why I’m really excited to be here, especially now for those of you who can’t exercise, if you’re in a wheel chair, a paraplegic, because there is always something you could activate especially to gain mobility. I have had both knees replaced, it runs in the family and being an avid body builder for many years now, but I can still exercise like I used to, especially with these kind of units here (Astro-Durance Bungee Systems), to gain more mobility.
“For example, I was talking to Patty about people who’ve had knee replacement, hip replacement, they have to do rehab – a lot of stretching and very frustrating, but this is a safety model. You have actually no weight on you as you get your flexibility back. So if you get a chance, check it out, it’s phenomenon.”
The principals behind Astro- Durance Bungee training are the same principles that define the universal laws of nature.
These principals are buoyancy and centripetal force.
The blood which moves by the heart pumps faster, and the lymph system which doesn’t have a pump to move it and relies solely on muscle action to move (even sleeping) is revved up and circulating moving immune builders into cells and removing toxins out! Doing all of this faster than the body can do on its’ own!
This is why people reach peak cardio in seconds and feel so good.
1. Blood and oxygen flow throughout the body at peak speeds.
2. The person gets the benefit of an oxygenated body and a faster flowing lymphatic system.
3. The blood gets oxygen into cells and the lymph carries cell building ingredients into the cells and
carries toxic waste out at a rapid rate.
4. The two things all bodies need for optimal health – blood flow and lymph flow. Every Astro- Durance Bungee client gets this optimization every time they perform on the Astro Durance Bungee!
Patty Cummings the innovator and inventor of this training concept calls it “MOTION-BASED EXERCISE”. It allows the person to exercise in proper form, giving all the muscles and fascia tissue in the body a good stretch, without putting pressure on the joints. It builds strong core, while revving the cardio fast, sending the blood and lymphatic system throughout the body getting oxygen to the cells and to the brain. When this happens, the oxygen mixes with a chemical called “BDNF” brain-derived neurotrophic factor that plays a vital role in brain cell growth, mood regulation, learning, and producing key hormones like Serotonin, which boosts our mood; Dopamine, which affects movement and emotional responses; Norepinephrine, which influences attention, perception, motivation, and arousal, along with beneficial amino acids that produce powerful antioxidants like nitric oxide and glutathione.
This style of exercise is performed on a bungee system to allow weightless exercise (anti-gravity) that allows the person to perform movements that they otherwise could not do on their own, with no added pressure on the joints, and is pain free.
EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS – people have been able to burn calories fast because their metabolism is revved up. Patty has had people take the “Burn” off a pound in 4 minute test. She stated, “We discovered this happens. And no one who has taken our “prove it to me challenge”, has failed it yet. That in and of itself defies the laws of exercise! Because generally after exercising it is common to actually add a pound. What happens with a system that is revved up, is that the metabolism burns fat fast and keeps revved up and burning brown fat for the next 24 to 48 hours.”
Astro-Durance is helping entrepreneurs in the fitness industry open up businesses!
“So many entrepreneurs had to close during the COVID non-essential business mandates,” said Patty Cummings. “We have a turn-key operation that is easy to open on a limited budget and profitable. We are offering a unique Astro-Durance Bungee Studio business concept, without franchise fees. We have every key component to help the person open up their AD Bungee business from equipment, Education and Certification programs, In-house workshop training programs, ongoing Zoom training and business consulting, an AD Bungee Training Video Library and mentor programs. Our goal is to help entrepreneurs across America and internationally to open up a profitable business that offers career opportunities for others.”
Astro-Durance Bungee Systems manufactures their own products and has a complete training and Certification Program. AD bungee systems are also used by the medical field and rehabilitation professionals. Astro-Durance® Bungee Systems is also proud to have a Distribution center in Great Britain.

G-Force Bungee Training
For more intense workouts, Cummings developed the “G-FORCE” resistance training, performed with many of the movements that involve free fall, naturally allow gentle g-forces to be felt that rev the cardio in seconds. These g-forces create vibrations that allow the blood and lymph to start moving rapidly throughout the body, getting much needed oxygen in and out of every cell and to the brain.
“This fitness training causes the accelerating person to experience a force acting in the opposite direction to the acceleration.” Patty explained, “One client may say, when the bungee pulled me down and back up fast, I experienced a rush I’ve never felt before. That’s the G-Force vibration in action!”
“The gravitational force or more commonly called g-force, is a measurement of the type of acceleration that causes a perception of weight.” Stated Aaron Bathory, a Personal Trainer for Astro-Durance. “Some may note the pressure experience as for example, “the g-force presses me back. I can feel it against my core.”
G-force acceleration is produced by the surface of one object being pushed by the surface of another object, the reaction force to this push produces an equal and opposite weight for every unit of an object’s mass. The types of forces involved are transmitted through objects by interior mechanical stresses. The g-force acceleration is the cause of an object’s acceleration in relation to free fall.
BASIC SCIENCE BEHIND G-FORCE TRAIING:
Despite the name, G-Force is not a fundamental force that can be measured with an accelerometer. In the case described as a result of use in Astro-Durance Bungee Systems, the g-force accelerations indirectly produce weight, therefore, any g-force can be described as a “weight per unit mass”. When the g-force acceleration is produced by the surface of one object being pushed by the surface of another object, the reaction force to this push produces an equal and opposite weight for every unit of an object’s acceleration in relation to free fall. The types of forces involved are what revs the cardio in seconds and cause the rapid increase in blood and lymphatic flow.
As it applies in objects, g-forces are transmitted through objects by interior mechanical stresses. In AD bungee training, the bungee supported person is the object that receives gentle g-force pressures when in free fall or other fast movements. Generally, the user is in control of how fast they dive or jump therefore, the free fall affect can be controlled by the user. The user also has the ability to stop performing the action at any time, thereby they maintain control. The user also has the safety of the bungee attached to the harness so, if for some reason they do lose control, they are protected from hitting the floor by the bungee which will keep them in tact. The result is a revved up blood and lymphatic flow that continues its’ natural cycle. With the Astro-Durance Bungee System, it is all “organic”. It is helping the body to do what it does naturally through exercise by allowing the body to move fast enough to achieve it. All with no added pressure on the joints and pain free.
