Autism and SandBells

Parents of children with special needs have a great resource in Eric Chessen of Autism Fitness.  Eric is all about health and fitness and has an excellent way of adapting exercises to children with Autism.  Not all exercise equipment is safe for children, much less children with Autism.  We are so pleased that our SandBells provide a safe and useful tool for children of varying skill and physical fitness levels.

Eric often writes for an online magazine called Parenting Special Needs.  His submission in the current issue includes the SandBells as “Fitness Equipment Worth Buying.”  Take a look and get in touch with Eric if you have any questions about the logistics and / or benefits of exercise for children with Autism.

SandBell gets around…

A friend to Hyper Wear sent us this email:

So here is a story from the public arena…..

We were spending some time with some of our best long time friends over the holiday weekend and I was talking to my buddy about the company we invested in as he was curious. His son (my godson and a 13 year old 7th grader) was listening in. When I started to explain what a SandBell was, I noticed his son perked up and paid more attention. As I worked through the description and started to talk about some of the advantages over dumbbells I included some examples of exercises that were unique to the SandBell….when I mentioned the SandBell Slam, he jumped into the conversation with a ton of excitement and said, “I thought you were talking about SandBells…we used them at the football training camp this year and we did the Slam….It was awesome, everybody loved the SandBells!”

I thought that was cool! :)

We think it’s cool, too!  What’s a SandBell Slam you ask?  An excellent way to take out your aggression!  Just take a look at our buddy, Eric Chessen of Autism Fitness as he finishes up a workout a few of these bad boys:
