Dolly Walk with Hyper Weight Vest and SandBell Sandbag

August 23rd, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

Who doesn’t love training their core? Well, today I’m going to show you yet another way you can mix a SandBell with another great piece of training equipment…..We’re going into the training vault for this one, yes, it’s time for the return of the Ab Dolly! So I was thinking the other day while watching some of my athletes doing an Ab Dolly relay race, “What would happen if the Ab Dolly weighed much, much more?” So, I stopped the race and threw a 50lb SandBell on the Dollys and watched the madness ensue. Now it’s your turn to watch the madness, check out the video and then get to work!

We Love CrossFitters!!

May 9th, 2010

Have we ever mentioned that we love CrossFitters?  They’re hardcore, so enthusiastic about fitness, and excellent at making fitness accessible to anyone.  Hyper Wear products are the perfect fit for them because they are so versatile and can take a lot of abuse.

Mike Burgener – of Mike’s Gym in California – sent us some pics of he and a buddy before, during and after a CrossFit WOD (that’s CrossFit lingo for Workout of the Day) and we thought we’d share:

We love Peter Shankman

April 19th, 2010

Ever hear of HARO (Help A Reporter Out)? Well, if not, let me enlighten you! It is the brain-child of Peter Shankman and is simply a way to connect folks who need to write an article or a book or something like that link with someone with the knowledge they need to write said article or book, etc.

A few short weeks ago, Cosmo contacted Mr. Shankman to thank him for all he does to help the flow of media in our country. He also sent him a Hyper Vest. We were thrilled to see his a video posted on his Facebook homepage in which he gives some top advice while wearing his new Hyper Vest…way to multi-task, buddy!!

Sandbells Featured in Men’s Health Magazine

March 11th, 2010

menshealth2010

Men’s Health Magazine has featured Hyper Wear in the past, but this is our Sandbell’s first feature.  If you haven’t ran to pick up the latest issue, here’s what they had to say about the Sandbells:

Sling some sand around
This new dumbbell substitute builds your forearms

You may be used to lifting heavy, solid objects, but there’s value in going soft. SandBells, stretchy neoprene disks filled with sand, can be used like dumbbells, kettlebells, or medicine balls. “The shifting sand forces you to work your grip, which triggers more muscle activation in your wrists and forearms, “says Jim Liston, C.S.C.S., owner of Competitive Athlete Training Zone in Pasadena, California. They’re also easier on your joints. Sizes range from 2 pounds to 50 pounds. hyperwear.com

If you are already using the sandbells, we’d love to hear how you’re using them.  Leave us a comment, and give us the scoop.
