Larger waist size leads to smaller brain size

August 16th, 2011
,,,,,, - Hot Topic Tuesday - Hyper Vest - Hyper Vest PRO - obesity - weight loss

In being a sports and fitness company, it should be pretty obvious that leading a healthy lifestyle is pretty important to our company, and something we want our followers to believe in as well. Today, the majority of Americans are familiar with the fact that obesity can lead to diabetes, heart disease and a string of other serious health issues. But, what most might not be aware of is that gaining weight can actually cause your brain to shrink and decrease brainpower later in life.

According to an online article, “Wide waist, narrow mind: How middle age spread can shrink your brain,” those who were obese in their 50s tended to perform poorly on mental tests conducted in a U.S. research study. The study consisted of more than 1,300 men and women in their 50s and 60s, and over the span of ten years brain scans and mental tests were conducted on participants.

Results of the study concluded that even among the healthiest individuals, the brain shrinks with age, but those with diabetes shrank at a faster rate than those without the disease.

Moral of the story, be fit, stay active and lead a healthy lifestyle. If you don’t, not only will your wallet have to pay for the new jeans to mask your expanding waistline, your brain will also be suffering the consequences.

There are endless ways to stay in shape, visit our Facebook page, website or YouTube channel for tons of ideas, or just throw on your Hyper Vest PRO and carry on with your day. Trust us, your body and brain will thank you later!

The Perfect Solution for Sad Muggles (following the end of the Harry Potter series…)

July 15th, 2011
,,,,,,,,,,,, - Cooling Vest - Harry Potter - Hyper Vest COOL - Hyper Vest PRO - Muggles - SandBell - SteelBell - WaterBell - exercise - fitness - sandbag - weight vest - wellness - workout

I did not see Harry Potter yesterday and I will not see it today.  In fact, I won’t see it this weekend.  I may not even see it this month.

Don’t get me wrong, I will see it, but the trouble is three-fold:

1.  I don’t want to sit amongst the throngs of die-hards that will attend this weekend.

2.  I didn’t see the last one (part one to this part two).  I know – horror of horrors!  But I hate the suspense!  I couldn’t bear seeing the first half and then having to wait for the second.  So, first I have to watch that one.  In fact, while I’m at it, I think I need to watch all of them again in a row so I remember the flow of the story…

3.  I don’t want to slip into the deep depression feared for many Muggles according to this article:

Grief counseling for Muggles mourning final ‘Harry Potter’ film

But have no fear!!  Hyper Wear has a solution!

Do you know what’s great for dealing with depression and grief?

Exercise!  That’s right!  It gets the endorphins flowing that give you happy feelings and it helps you look great so that when you look in the mirror you love what you see and when you get the one-eyebrow-raised-half-smile-with-the-head-nod at the gym, you know it was well-deserved.

We have a whole channel on You Tube with tons of videos with ideas for exercises to do!

So, for all you sad Muggles out there mourning the end of an era, chin up!  We’ve got just the thing!

The Hyper Vest PRO walks the walk and talks the talk

July 5th, 2011
,,,,,,,, - Hot Topic Tuesday - Hyper Vest - Hyper Vest PRO - HyperWear - endurance - endurance exercise - exercise - functional fitness - training - weight bearing exercise - weight vest - workout

Here at Hyper Wear, we love our products and want everyone to use them, enjoy them and maintain healthy lifestyles with them! Today, we want to take a moment to relay to you how fun, functional, safe and truly effective the Hyper Vest PRO is. Sure, we could go on with great adjectives to describe why you should train with our vest, but we thought it’d be a better idea to let some testimonials and research do the talking.

An article on Livestrong.com, “Benefits of a Weight Vest,” by Andy Chasse discusses how and why weight vests are so effective, and provides some research to back it up. For example, a study conducted at Texas Tech University consisting of two groups of athletes, one training with and one training without a weight vest, revealed that after six weeks both groups improved in various tactical areas, but the one training with the vest improved substantially more.

Weight vests are a great tool to amp up workouts and challenge muscles so they don’t get used to repetitive movements. When you’re pressed for time and can’t come up with new exercises to keep the body guessing, just throw on a vest.

“This unconventional exercise method allows us to throw our systems off whenever necessary,” says Chasse.

Still not convinced? Well then consider the findings of another study in Chasse’s article—a study published in the “European Journal of Applied Physiology” found that of 12 distance athletes, the group running with a weight vest “emerged victorious with improvements in both their VO2 max (a measure of the body’s ability to consume oxygen) and lactate threshold (the exercise intensity at which lactate begins to accumulate in the blood), two crucial factors affecting endurance exercise.”

US Olympic Decathlete, Trey Hardee trained with the Hyper Vest PRO prior to his 2009 season. In a testimonial to Hyper Wear, Hardee had the following to say about the Hyper Vest PRO.

“I have never seen or used a weight vest like the Hyper Vest PRO. It stays tight, comfortable and cool on my body enabling me to increase my bodyweight while training. It makes adding resistance to my workouts effortless…”

So believe the hype! The Hyper Vest PRO is the real deal when it comes to seeing results and improvement. Visit hyperwear.com to purchase your own vest and see why so many people are boasting the great benefits weight vest training has to offer!

Obesity in America – Hyper Vest PRO Weighted Vest Can Help

September 15th, 2010
,,,,,,,, - Hyper Vest PRO - childhood obesity - fitness - obesity - weight loss - weight vest

I came across this article today that drives home the point that most Americans are in denial about the seriousness of the obesity epidemic in our country.  In the article, titled “Many Americans Don’t Even Know They’re Fat,” we read that in a poll taken of 2,418 adults (aged 18 and over), many respondents have a skewed perception of where they fall on the healthy BMI scale.

It seems some saw this day coming in the 1980s.  Dr. Mitchell Roslin, chief of obesity surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, noted that “when [Dr. Everett Koop, surgeon general in the 1980s] wrote ‘Shape Up America,’ he said the biggest health problem facing America was not AIDS, not cancer, it’s obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since then … we’ve seen nothing but a rise in obesity despite all of these efforts that have gone on now since the 1980s.”

We are proud to be an agent of change and want to encourage you to continue going against the culture by living a healthy lifestyle.  If you are one who couples exercise with proper nutrition, you are in the minority, but we’re in this battle with you!

Let us know – how do you use your Hyper Wear products to fight the fight against obesity?
