My husband's Xmas gift came today-inversion table. [View all]

He put it together and tried it out. And wanted to stay hanging upside down and take a nap. Which of course would be a very bad idea! I let him try it for about 3 minutes, I think it was too steep an inversion for first time but he really, really liked. I tried it for about a minute, came up with vertigo. Ah well. Glad I'm not a fruitbat as I would be flying into things after sleeping. 15 minutes later and I still feel queasy.
