An Ab Mat provides the full range of motion at specific angles which is required to properly work all of the abdominal muscles for strong abs. Training AbMat video is also available - sold together or separately!

Ez Grips by Ivanko widens grips on barbells and dumbbells which leverages strength to targeted muscles by 30%.

The T. K. Knee Bands are specially developed knee bands which are not your typical knee sleeves, knee supporters or knee braces.

A Mantaray removes the complaint of pain or pinching from the weight of the bar while keeping it securely in place, allowing for full range of motion to properly perform heavier back leg squats

Powerhooks fit on to any barbell or dumbbells, and puts you in proper lifting position without having to lift the dumbbell from the floor as well as eliminates undue stress on joints.

The Power Push Up 2 exercise cables adds resistance to classic bodyweight exercises like push-ups, dips and lunges to increase your strength, power and size.

Push Up Bars are great for pushups, tricep dips and advanced tricep dips.

RumbleRoller relieve muscular pain and tightness throughout your entire body with the RumbleRoller that's specifically optimized for SMFR (self-myofascial release).

The T. K. Knee Bands are specially developed knee bands which are not your typical knee sleeves, knee supporters or knee braces.

Deep Water Running Shoes - AQx Sports Deep Water Butt Kicker style running water exercise

Deep Water Running Exercise Butt Kicker Style: The "butt kicker" style of deep water running exercise training can be used in conjunction with the AQx Sports deep water running shoe if the goal is to not only elevate your heart rate, etc., but to also specifically work the hamstrings. This is an excellent exercise for speed development and/or toning of this particular muscle group of the thighs.

Deep Water Running Exercise Butt Kicker Style Key points:

The water should be at shoulder level below the chin with the head held in a neutral position facing forward.
The body leans slightly forward of a vertical position. This is important because if you lean too far backwards your knees will come up too high in the front and you will be practicing the high-knee version of DWR and not providing more emphasis on the hamstrings.
The arm carriage should be relaxed and identical to land-based running. Your arms will primarily move from the shoulder joint (relatively stable) with elbows flexed at approximately 90º.
The hands are held in a slightly clenched-fist position with your thumb resting lightly on your forefinger to decrease the likelihood of using a dog-paddling- type motion.
The knees will be somewhat locked with the lower leg completing the majority of the movement. Simply attempt to repeatedly kick yourself in the butt with your alternating heels. This is best done as an anaerobic (shorter, more intense) portion of your workout. For example, 15-30 seconds hard followed by 30-45 seconds (or more) of easy cross country style running to allow for good recovery. Please remember that water is an accommodating resistance, so the faster you try to move those heals to the butt, the harder it is!
