The Kamagon Ball and The Surge Use Water as the New Steel
Hedstrom Fitness now offers a product line that literally changes the paradigm of stability training. Via the physics of water, the Kamagon Ball and The Surge create “live and ever-changing” resistance, taking functional training to a whole new level.
What is Hydro-Inertia Training?
Hydro-Inertia is the utilization of water to create an unstable resistance that increases core strength and stability during exercise. By destabilizing the weight, you engage the nervous system and wake up more muscle fibers for greater results.
By utilizing Hydro-Inertia technology, you eliminate the limitations that are found in products that are limited to postural instability. The Kamagon and The Surge initiate instability throughout a full range of motion in routines that engage your entire body. The majority of instability products currently on the market are primarily used as a foundation — or base — that you sit, stand or lay down on, but the Kamagon and The Surge shift that model completely.
Furthermore, the efficiency of Hydro-Inertia resistance mimics real life situations far more than static weights such as dumbbells or kettlebells. This is not only important for athletes in their functional training programs, but for every day life situations like picking up your kids, or unloading groceries.
Keli Roberts, Master Trainer, says about Hydro-Inertia Training “This is the most interesting and refreshing way of training I’ve come across in a long time. The ever-changing resistance level adds a whole new, game-changing element to functional training. And, I can use these products with any client or class — by increasing or decreasing the amount of water used I can change the resistance and level of difficulty. Genius!”
For Instructors and Personal Trainers interested in using the Kamagon or The Surge, the Hedstrom Fitness Education Team has created and launched 8 Hour Training Certifications with Training Sessions running frequently throughout the year. Participants will learn to utilize Hydro-Inertia Technology and experience how the unique biomechanical properties of training with destabilized weight can help transition strength gains into higher levels of functional daily activity and sports performance. Both Kamagon and Surge training certifications are ideal for group fitness instructors, personal trainers, coaches and athletic trainers.
The Kamagon is available in 9” and 14” and three color options. Also available are the Kamagon® Total Body Challenge Workout DVD and Workout Guide. You can find them all at www.kamagonball.com.
The Surge is available at getthesurge.com.
