BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Body
Bar® Inc., a premier fitness company
specializing in products and educational tools for fitness
enthusiasts of all ages and abilities, today announced its
revolutionary new Body Bar Flex Trek Walking Program.
The Flex Trek workout is an audio program that guides
participants through walking exercises set to music, utilizing a
pair of light BBFlex-355 hand weights. The BBFlex-355 bars
apply the flexible and resistive qualities of the award-winning
Body Bar FLEX®, coupled with a small amount of extra
weight.
Each bar is 14 inches long and weighs 0.8 pounds. The
weight comes from round copper pellets inside which move
back-and-forth in response to arm movements. Therefore, these
hand weights are not just "dead weight" but transmit stronger
variable forces to the muscles than simple weights, adding an
effective upper body and core challenge to the cardio benefits of
walking.
June Kahn, a Boulder,
Colorado-based, nationally-recognized Pilates and Health
Master instructor/teacher trainer, and member of Team Body Bar,
created the Flex Trek workout, which is an effective low-impact
walking program for enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness and heart
health while developing and maintaining muscular endurance and core
conditioning.
The basic walking program has a fun and engaging format intended
for a beginning-level walker, with progressions from walking drills
to endurance training to circuit formats for full body
training. Later versions of the audio program will enable
users to increase their level of intensity and activity using the
same bars.
"Walking is a natural activity that yields positive health
benefits," commented Kahn. "Use of these light and flexible
hand weights in the Flex Trek program allows for increased
awareness of proper upper body mechanics, which improves posture
and alignment. We employ compound movements that enhance
functional fitness while challenging all major muscle groups, thus
allowing for greater improvements in balance, strength, agility,
and coordination."
The Body Bar Flex Trek program includes:
- One pair of Flex Trek 355 flexible hand weights
- Downloadable audio guide
- Illustrated manual
