Hyper Dash

Hyper Dash

Hyper Dash is an award winning product and was a best seller last Christmas season. Interestingly, it was developed by a team at Wild Planet that included IC veteran Daniel Botwinick.

Here’s what Dan had to say when he gave us our very own: “I have had so much fun working on these products. The Ice Chamber was extremely influential in my work on Hyper Dash – the commitment to health, fitness, activity as well as the relationship between physical activity and mental and emotional well being… The IC has absolutely transformed how I feel everyday, and it inspired me to help develop a product which maybe offers a little bit of that [to children].”

Hose Pull

Open your mind to other approaches for building pulling strength. Although many open kinetic chain exercises are nonfunctional in nature, Dave and Nicole are demonstrating a perfect example of one that is functional, fun, and specific to grappling sports.
