VIA Hand and Finger Exerciser for Musicians, Medium Resistance (6-Pounds per Finger)

VIA Hand and Finger Exerciser for Musicians, Medium Resistance (6-Pounds per Finger) Review



VIA Hand and Finger Exerciser for Musicians, Medium Resistance (6-Pounds per Finger) Feature

  • Medium hand and finger exerciser designed for musicians
  • Challenges each finger using spring-loaded piston technology
  • 4 buttons are designed to resemble the valves of a trumpet
  • Ideal for improving dexterity, finger strength, and coordination
  • 6-pound-per-finger resistance; built for average-sized hands
Designed for musicians looking to build hand strength or warm up before a performance, the Via hand and finger exerciser is an ideal accessory for musicians of all instruments and caliber. Unlike most hand exercisers--which have you make a fist around an object or squeeze your fingers together--the Via works each finger independently using patented spring-loaded piston technology. This means that your stronger fingers can't compensate for weaker ones, letting you build strength, coordination, and dexterity across the entire hand. The Via is built to mimic the valves on a brass instrument, with four buttons along the top that look like trumpet valves. You can press one button at a time, combinations of two or three, or all four buttons at once, depending on your goals. As you press the buttons, your individual fingers will build up strength and coordination, helping you tickle the ivories, finger the fretboard, or trill the trumpet with confidence. Plus, the Via hand and finger exerciser lets you focus only on the fingers that need the most work, so you don't have to waste time and energy exercising the entire hand when its your pinky and ring finger that need most of the attention.

The Via offers a number of benefits for musicians. Not only does it increase finger dexterity and hand strength, but it also helps reduce repetitive stress injuries and counter the effects of arthritis and other degenerative diseases. And, of course, it makes a terrific warm-up accessory before a big concert or practice session. Recommended by professional musicians and teachers worldwide, this version of the Via hand and finger exerciser offers a medium resistance of 6 pounds per finger, and is recommended for average-size hands. The Via comes in handy for non-musicians, too, including golfers, tennis players, yoga practitioners, bowlers, and more. Stronger, faster fingers for musical excellence -- no matter what instrument you play, VIA Handgrip will greatly improve your strength, speed and dexterity while maintaining the health and well-being of your hands.

Somax Power Hip Trainer

Somax Power Hip Trainer Review



The Somax Power Hip Trainer is the first aerobic exercise machine designed to increase the strength and speed of hip rotation for golf. Because hip rotation is the only movement in the golf swing for which there is no natural resistance, 99-percent of golfers have very weak hip rotators. Consisting of a non-slip, 2 x 3 foot steel base to which you attach a special steel spring with a pin and safety clip, which in turn is connected via a connecting tube to a padded steel hip cinch that straps securely around your hips, the Power Hip Trainer is easy to assemble, use and put away. It can be used indoors or out. It can be adjusted for height and adapts to any swing posture. It comes with a DVD containing 26 drills for right and left-handed golfers. Because the hip joints are 3 inches from the center of the body, and the head of the driver is 75 inches from the center of the body, any increase in hip speed is multiplied 25 times at the club head. Most amateur golfers have a hip rotation speed of only one mile an hour. Pros have an average hip speed of 2.4 mph. Increasing your hip speed only 1 mph will add 25 mph to your club head or swing speed. This is why we can guarantee a 25 mph increase in swing speed in 30 days--or your money back. The Power Hip Trainer is designed for golfers 18-75 years of age. You can see more photos, as well as several testimonials and videos about the Power Hip Trainer by going to our website. Increasing the strength of your hip rotation muscles will not only add distance to all your clubs, but it will lower your scores as well. A research study by a well-respected university lab found that scratch golfers had the strongest hips of all the golfers they tested. We tested the hip strength of all 120 golfers who tried our Power Hip Trainer at the PGA Show in Orlando. Only two of the golfers we tested had strong hip rotators. They were both plus 2 players. One was 25. The other was 60.
