Good Monday Morning!

This week we have a different take on the MMM, I guess I would say it’s a little bit “cooler” than our previous videos. We have recently created a new training vest, and everyone at Hyper Wear and CATZ is extremely excited.

By now, you have heard of or even have an original Hyper Vest which is the best vest you can find for adding a little bit more resistance and overall difficulty to your workouts. Now now we have a new vest, one that is specifically designed for aiding in the proper methods of initial recovery from a workout, keeping you cooler during a workout, or even preparing your body for a tough workout in extreme heat.

It’s called the Hyper Vest Cool, and after trying it one time after a tough 90 minute training session, I am definitely backing this one to keep me cool for life! Enjoy the video, and get yourself a Cooling Vest!!

Playground Abs Part 2 – MMM #20

Good Monday Morning!

Ok, due to popular demand, we’re continuing with the Playground series.  Hope you’re as excited as I am! I had a blast doing the next several videos, so make sure you’re tuning in each week for the next exercise!

Soon we’ll be introducing a brand new Hyper Wear product.  Make sure you stay tuned for a sneak peak at this fantastically COOL new product! ;)

This week, let’s look at some rotational core training with a child’s swing and a 50-lb SandBell. The beauty of this exercise is that you are forced to accelerate the weight and decelerate it which is definitely the more difficult action for the muscles to produce. Most people tend to forget about the deceleration or “negative” portion of the exercise where your muscles are lengthening and loading for the next repetition. This is really where new muscle fiber can be recruited and the body can be taken out of its comfort zone. Enjoy!!!!

Playground Abs Part 1 – MMM #19

Good Monday Morning!

Alright, let’s sliiiiiide right into the next exercise on the playground. How else can we use the typical slide except for sliding down it you ask? Grab a SandBell and slide on top of it, that’s how!! I came up with this exercise one night at the local playground in my neighborhood and after doing 4 sets of 1 minute on each side of my body, I couldn’t believe how torn up my core was the next few days.

Enjoy!!!

Enter the Octagon – MMM #18

Good Monday Morning!

This week, we’re taking it back to the oooold school!! Lately, I’ve been experimenting with working out at my neighborhood playground with a pretty heavy SandBell.  I thought I’d show you all some of the crazy antics I’ve been up to.

For me, training in non-traditional settings is what works the best. I feel like it’s not even training, but really just playing around like when you were a kid….except your heart rate is sky rocketing and you’re a little bit more fearful of injury on the playground than when you were 6 years old! Enjoy “The Octagon” and all its twists and turns, bumps and bruises!

TsunamiBell Revealed – MMM #17

Good Monday Morning!

By now, summer for our school-aged athletes is almost over, even though the Texas heat and humidity is making me feel like summer is here to stay for much much longer!  This is another great reason to do some workouts in the water.  Since we’re in the water, why not use a SandBell that actually…………..floats!!

Yes, introducing the TsunamiBell (please email Cosmo some catchier names…haha!!), the Sandbell that you don’t have to keep retrieving from the bottom of South Padre’s beach (thank you, Sparrow!).

I look at all types of training as fun, and that’s definitely part of the MMM’s message each week – showing you fun ways to get in shape.  So enjoy this week’s non-traditional game of “Catch”!
