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!

Beach Workout – Single Arm Skull & Toss w/ SandBell

August 2nd, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

Sparrow and I are back on the beach for yet another SandBell/Cool Vest combo! We actually came up with this one back in Austin during a burnout set at our neighborhood pool.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Speaking of neighborhood pools, anyone else out there get looked at funny when you bring in a towel, stopwatch, 50lbs worth of SandBells, and some resistance bands to the pool? Don’t people get it? Some of us just love to train in all environments!

I do two pool conditioning workouts per week so if you’re in need of some ideas for training in the pool, send me a line and I’d be glad to help!

SandBell Viking Toss with Rachel Cosgrove and Dos Remedios

July 27th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

We found a fun circuit video from a great friend and amazing trainer, Dos Remedios, who loves Hyper Wear products. Robert dos Remedios is the 2006 NSCA Collegiate Strength Coach of the Year. He is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, CA, and a sought after speaker and writer on conditioning.

He is also great friends with Alwyn & Rachel Cosgrove, who own and operate Results Fitness Gym. Both have written multiple books and are highly sought after trainers and speakers.

Well, Dos and Rachel teamed up to film Rachel doing an intense workout out at Hermosa Beach, CA! Rachel works out with multiple pieces of equipment, but the best is her training with the SandBells, performing a full body exercise called the Viking Toss.

Watch out though, Rachel is a true Man Eater in this video!

Enjoy!

Beach Workout: Russian Twist n Toss

July 19th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

Here’s a simple little core series you can do with any size SandBell.  We chose to haul a couple of 8 pounders down to the water’s edge at South Padre Island, TX.

The exercise is a compound set of trunk rotations that start with regular twists and lead into a ballistic exercise. We’re wearing our Hyper Vest COOL to make the summer time heat a little more bearable and it sure does make a difference!  Sparrow and I wouldn’t be caught without ours for our time on the hot, sunny beach this trip!

Fit Pit SandBell Slurpee

July 12th, 2010

Good Monday Morning!

Last week Sparrow and I performed an original SandBell series named after its inventor (and the inventor of the SandBell), Cosmo Raines.  It was called the “Cosmic Slurpee”!

Well, while looking on YouTube, we found a Hyper Customer who was showing off a SandBell Slurpee (Slam + Burpee)!!!  We were so excited to see other fitness professionals getting into the fun that we decided to let you see her rendition of the Slurpee.  If you are in the Lacey, Washington area, you need to go to the Fit Pit, meet Susan Moore, and JOIN THE RESISTANCE™!

Enjoy the Video!

Basketball Metabolic Conditioning with Hyper Vest PRO & SandBells

May 5th, 2010

Check this video of some athletes preparing to be great on the Basketball Court.  That is the Hyper Vest PRO they’re wearing at the beginning…not sure why they took it off since you can do all full-speed training in it, but I’m sure they had their reasons!  And then the SandBells get in on the action for some pivot foot practice, enhanced kettlebell moves, ballistic sit ups, rotation moves, and – my personal favorite – SandBell dribbling.  Enjoy!

SandBells mentioned in L.A. Times article!

April 26th, 2010

We’re blushing with pride over here at Hyper Wear! Roy Wallack, who writes a Health column for Los Angeles times, had some nice things to say about our SandBells. Read his article about Kettlebells…especially the last product review – “Sandbagging it.”

Thanks, Roy! And thanks to all of you who have SandBells and therefore know exactly what Roy is talking about!
