As I mentioned in my goal post, one of my goals is to work on strength training and so I am happy to be working with FitApproach & Hedstrom Fitness on their Surge/Kamagon Ball campaign.
From the Hedstrom Fitness website: The Surge® is a specialized training device that utilizes fluid to create a “dynamic” form of resistance. This forces the user to challenge both traditional exercises, as well as sport and activity specific movement patterns. As a result, this training apparetus provides a very unique challenge to the joints and stabilizing structures to resist and control the unpredictable nature of the shifting water within this device.
The Kamagon Ball was designed to bridge the gap in functional fitness training. Most exercises target only an isolated muscle group and seldom teach the body how to utilize the core. The Kamagon Ball automatically eliminates both issues. The Kamagon Ball does more than simply train a group of muscles; it also teaches you how to use your body in the most effective and efficient manner. The Kamagon Ball is a destabilized weight that uses the principle of Hydro-Inertia™ to work your muscles while simultaneously training the nervous system. This is a key to strength, speed and overall fitness.
I just started testing out both the Surge & Kamagon Ball after we got back from Hawaii earlier this week. I really like the Kamagon Ball, it’s kind of like a kettle bell but a little bigger and you can adjust the weight by adding water. The ball I have goes from 1 – 13lbs.
Every Friday for the next few weeks I’m going to be sharing a few exercises that you can do using either the Surge or Kamagon Ball. Since I wasn’t home last week this week you get a bonus video! I know you are super excited!!
In the first Friday 5, the moves I’ll be attempting to do are:
- Squats with Overhead Press
- Reverse lunge with oblique twist
- Standing rows
- V-Ups
- Bicep Curls
And for video, the moves I’ll be demonstrating or attempting to demonstrate are:
- Jump squats
- Side Lunges
- Tricep extensions
- Russian Twists
- Side Planks
