HELPFUL OSTEOPOROSIS Training Tips
Although research is still working to determine the best type of exercise for individuals with osteoporosis, so far, researchers agree that the exercise needs to be weight-bearing. The Hyper Vest makes any exercise a weight-bearing exercise, simply by adding a comfortable weighted garment that complements your natural movements.

Low Impact Activities :Articles and studies have addressed and proven the benefits of resistance training for low impact activities such as walking, water aerobics, and even gardening. Your body weight is the most perfect form of resistance; therefore, a weighted garment designed to supplement your natural resistance must feel just like natural body weight in order for exercise to be comfortable, practical, sustainable, and effective. The Hyper Vest is ideal for these sorts of activities as it is comfortable and adjustable, and allows for incremental weight addition.

At Hyper Wear, we have taken your needs to heart in designing the Hyper Vest. Generous arm and neck holes, open sides, and technologically advanced wicking fabric combine to provide breathability. In addition, the Hyper Vest comes in several sizes, all of which can be adjusted to your specific shape with a side-cinching system. This means the Hyper Vest conforms to your body and won’t shift or chafe during movements. It also means that the Hyper Vest can be worn under your shirt — be it your workout clothes or your everyday clothes!

You might also want to consider the SandBells for your exercising. They are a great replacement for hard dumbells as they are soft and squishable as you hold them in your hands while you exercise (they also won’t injure you if you drop one on your foot by accident.)

The PreCool Vest is a perfect addition to your daily routine if you are in hot or cold climates. Just warm or cool the gel packs and they provide extra cooling or warmth as you go through your daily activities (and they add a little bit of weight, making it a gentle weight bearing exercise!)

Top New Fitness Product for 2009 by Men’s Health Magazine 

Description: Introducing the Hyper Vest, a revolutionary new type of weighted vest from the inspired innovation of Hyper Wear. The Hyper Vest employs a patented control system and fabric allowing you to engage in movement while wearing the vest since the weights are held comfortably and firmly to your core even during vigorous multi-plane movement. Even better, the Hyper Vest is elastic around your chest in the horizontal plane, which allows full chest expansion and contraction for breathing while the weights stay in place. A breathable, wicking fabric and generous open side panels make the vest exceptionally comfortable. So thin, you can wear it under a shirt and no one would know.

Benefits and Uses: The Hyper Vest creates the effect of mass evenly distributed over the bodys core to create resistance. By adding weight to the core, you can engage in any movement with the additional resistance of the weights. This is body weight training at its best. Use the vest for sports performance training, tactical training for fire, police, and military, general fitness, and overall health, weight loss, and prevention of osteoporosis.

Research: Research and practical application have proven that weight loading via weighted garments can produce positive results during the rigorous activities of various sports, as well as rehabilitation. Recent studies have also discovered some other interesting findings. Wearing weighted garments during daily activities, for extended periods of time, when used correctly, can increase functional body strength, overall fitness level, and athletic performance.

Features: Generously cut armholes and V-neck allow for full range of motion. Short waist increases freedom of movement. Cinching drawstring at waist and sides provide a secure fit and adjustability for all sizes, builds, and compression requirements. Adjustable weight pocket system allows you to double the weight in each pocket.

Specifications: Comes in xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, XL, and 2XL. Each vest comes pre-loaded with 5 lbs of weight except the XXL which comes with 10lbs. Additional booster packs with 5 lbs of weight are sold separately along with a tool for insertion.

SANDBELL

image

Stronger - Faster - Better

Description: Hyper Wear's SandBell is a cross between a sandbag, a dumbbell, a barbell, a grip bag, a medicine ball, a slam ball, and a kettlebell. Made of tough stretchy neoprene, the SandBell is the most versatile and enjoyable functional weight training tool on the market. Sizes range from 2lb to 50lb. Even more amazing is that the SandBell utilizes a patent pending fill mechanism that allows the end user to fill or empty the SandBell with whatever fill material desired.

Benefits and Uses:
Advantages v. Dumbbell and Barbell

  • Grip strength challenge
  • Variable sand volume (due to easy fill mechanism) changes grip ability
  • Soft and safe

Advantages v. Kettlebell

  • Grip strength challenge
  • Shifting sand challenge
  • Variable sand volume which duplicates the characteristics of kettlebell
  • Soft and safe version of a sand kettlebell

Advantages v. D-Ball Medicine Ball and Grip Bags

  • Fill to capacity for firm sandbell and two—handed work
  • More durable and safe

Special Features: Beyond the amazing functionality and multiple applications, the SandBell boasts a patent pending fill mechanism (called a ’Ngazzle’ — pronounced nozzle) which allows the owner to fill or remove sand (or other fill material) at their leisure.  Normally, sandbags, dumbbells, and similar equipment face steep charges when shipped.  SandBells, however, can be shipped empty and filled on site with minimal effort — and Huge Savings! You can send a full set of Empty SandBells (which, when filled are a total of 222 lbs) for around $10. Then you can get your own sand for less than $25 at the local Home Improvement store and fill them yourself.

Features: Thick, double sided neoprene is soft and stretchy to the touch, but also durable enough to be pulled, yanked, and abused daily. One side shows a Hyper Wear Logo with the SandBell’s weight in pounds. A colored ring encircles the SandBell, giving a visual indication of the weight.

Specifications: SandBells come in the following weight/colors: 2lb — red, 4 lb — Orange, 6 lb — Yellow, 8 lb — Green, 10 lb — Blue, 12 lb — Indigo, 15 lb — Violet, 20 lb — Black, 25 lb — Neon Green, 30 lb — Grey, 40 lb — Silver, 50 lb — Gold. You may also purchase a special funnel in our store to help fill your new SandBells. Weights of the SandBells are approximate, as you can determine your own about of fill, making the SandBells more solid or more squishy.

HYPER PRECOOL VEST...........................................

image

Stronger - Faster - Cooler ..

Description: Next in a line of products from the inspired innovation of Hyper-Wear, the Hyper PreCool vest is very cool. The one piece vest, with an innovative and stylish side zipper, is designed to cool the body’s core temperature using up to eight uniform size gel or phase change cooling packs that can easily be inserted. Select the gel packs for deep low temperature cooling and the phase change cooling packs for long lasting low temperatures. The Hyper PreCool Vest also employs the patented control system of the Hyper Vest weighted vest allowing you to engage in movement while wearing the vest since the cooling packs are held in place.

Benefits and Uses: Using the vest to cool the body’s core temperature provides a big advantage to an athlete. Approximately 75% of energy used by the human body is needed to maintain normal body temperature and only 25% of energy is used to fire our muscles. Precooling an athlete’s core temperature reduces the demands on the body to cool its own core and preserves muscle energy for a competition. An athlete’s endurance can improve up to 21%. The Hyper Precool Vest is also a convenient and inexpensive solution for other cooling vest applications such as industrial safety, motorcycling, emergency response, military, construction workers, landscapers, rehabilitation, therapy for multiple sclerosis and other conditions, and even under mascot costumes.

Research: Ice vests or precooling were in wide use in the Bejing Olympics with Nike providing a precool vest for U.S. athletes and UK Sport providing an ice vest solution for its athletes.

Features: Constructed from an advanced wicking fabric with 4 front and 4 back side loading pouches to hold either Elasto-gel packs or phase change cooling packs. Side zipper design allows for simplicity of having all pouches for cooling packs being of uniform size. Patented Hyper Wear design keeps cooling packs in place during activity such as a warm up for an event.

Specifications: Comes in small, medium, large, and XL. A set of four Elasto-gel packs or phase change packs sold separately.
