The Tribal Fusion Bellydance Workout, with Irina

tribal-fusion-bellydance-workout-with-irina

Created by Irina, New York City-based star of Tribal Fusion Bellydance, The Tribal Fusion Bellydance Workout features a series of drills and combinations designed to condition and tone the muscles of your lower and upper body, and enhance your dance technique through continuous practice of a wide range of Tribal Fusion Style moves, accents, and transitions.

Tribal Fusion Style bellydance is known for its strong isolations, muscular movements, and sharp locks, as well as graceful and expressive arm patterns. Irina introduces these elements gradually, in layers, making it easy to grasp and practice even challenging and sophisticated movement.

The workout consists of three sets of drills focusing on upper body, lower body, and, lastly, movement sequences engaging the total body and working on upper and lower body coordination.  Each set is broken down into several topics and is drilled at an energetic pace. Layers, such as continuous arm patterns, level changes and traveling steps are added onto the basic movements, for an additional challenge.

The Tribal Fusion Bellydance Workout is for dancers of all skill levels. Dancers newest to Tribal Fusion Style  can focus on the basic forms of Tribal Fusion movement, while the more experienced dancer can enjoy playing with the medley of layers Irina introduces in the final version of each topic.

You can do all three sequences one after the other for a thorough and challenging dance practice, or pick just one or two sets of drills for a targeted muscle conditioning and technique refresher.

The program also includes a yoga warm-up and a Technique Breakdown where Irina introduces Tribal Fusion bellydance moves used in the workout, step-by-step.

The Tribal Fusion Bellydance Workout has two soundtrack options:
with voice cues
and
with music only.

Pro Hands Gripmaster Exercises Program

Prohands Exercise Program

The exercises provided are not tailored to any specific sport. They are designed to enhance and maintain the physical attributes and general health of athletic hands regardless of sport.

Begin all exercises slowly and use low resistance & few repetitions. Hold each position 3-5 seconds and relax - repeat 5 to 10 times. Little by little increase to 3 sets of 10 (30 reps). When graduating to a higher resistance begin again with 5 to 10 reps and build slowly.

Finger Play

What it does: allows the fingers to press individually or in various combinations to help improve finger coordination, dexterity and strength to aid in all sports play and object manipulation.

Recommended for: all sports, rock climbing, yoga, pilates, martial arts, gaming, computer and stress.

How to execute: position Prohands in the hand similar to the hook grasp exercise. Place finger tips on individual buttons, and ergonomic bar in the palm with the hook over the web space between the index finger and thumb. Keeping fingers slightly bent, flex 1-4 digits in varying combinations toward the center of the unit as if playing an instrument.

Finger Tip Pinch

What it does: isolates finger tip motion for the finer movements involving coordination and dexterity of the hand. The quality of finger tip movement allows the athlete to put spin on a ball or a gentle shift of the equipment to improve object manipulation and precision grip.

Recommended for: all ball handling sports, rock climbing.

How to execute: place all finger tips on their own button with the tip of the thumb on the center of the ergonomic base. Keeping all finger tips bent, flex the thumb and all the fingers toward the center of the unit at the same time.

 

Flat Fist

What it does: focuses on the small muscles in the palm that bend the larger knuckles and straighten the small joints. These muscles help you to get a firmer grasp around a handle for increased stability, and are used for fine motor manipulation of the fingers.

Recommended for: golf, tennis, baseball mitt grasp, fishing, marksmanship.

How to execute: place the center of the ergonomic bar on the thumb tip and line up a button to the base of each finger. Keep small finger joints straight while bending only the larger knuckles to press buttons.

Hook Grasp

What it does: strengthens the only muscles that bend the fingertips. Especially helpful when the hand is open and you need to hold an object or support your weight with a fingertip hold. Also strengthens longer muscles in the forearm and wrist while stretching smaller muscles in hand for greater motion and endurance.

Recommended for: rock climbing, tennis, throwing a football, baseball or basketball, bowling, fingertip pushups, weightlifting, marksmanship, martial arts, pilates, some yoga positions, the looser grip on a golf club, fishing rod or hockey stick, and a firmer grip on any piece of equipment.

How to execute: place fingertips on individual buttons and position ergonomic palm bar in the palm with the hook over the web space between the thumb and index finger. Keeping fingertips slightly bent, flex all fingers toward the center of the unit.

 

Power Grip

What it does: provides a firm full grip around objects for increased stability and power. Strengthens fingers, thumb, wrist and forearm for a firm grip.

Recommended for: football, weight lifting, tennis, golf, baseball, hockey, rock climbing (belaying), marksmanship, martial arts, bowling, fishing, and any sport where a powerful grip is required.

How to execute: place the middle of the fingers on the buttons with the fingertips wrapped over the top. Position the ergonomic palm bar across the palm with the hook over the web space between the thumb and index finger, flex the thumb and all fingers toward the center of the unit as if making a fist.

Power Pinch

What it does: provides extra power to the small muscles at the base of the thumb and pinky finger to enhance your grasping ability.

Recommended for: tennis racket grip, baseball bat hold, weightlifting, rock climbing, stabilizing a gun, controlling a joystick for gaming, computer and stress.

How to execute: place the hook of the ergonomic base between the ring & pinky fingers and across the base of the pinky finger. Reach across the palm with the thumb to press the button closest to the fingers.

Thumb Pinch

What it does: provides isolated strength to the thumb and the side of the index finger for a strong lateral hold. Strengthens thumb and index finger for greater stability and coordination.

Recommended for: golf, hockey, fishing, rock climbing, gaming, computer and stress.

How to execute: place the hook of the ergonomic palm bar on the inside of the bent index finger. With the tip of the thumb slightly bent, flex the thumb on the first button. Note: for increased resistance, flex the thumb tip on the first two buttons at the same time.

Tricep Press

What it does: helps isolate the larger muscles of the forearm and upper arm to gain strength and endurance with the elbow extended.

Recommended for: tennis, basketball, baseball, football, bowling, weightlifting, pushups, rock climbing, martial arts, yoga, pilates, fishing, swinging a bat, golf club, and hockey stick.

How to execute: remove ergonomic palm bar and place Gripmaster upside down on a table. Keep the wrist straight and the forearm off the table. Press down with the palm to compress unit. Note: the fingers are not active during this exercise.

Trigger Grip

What it does: strengthens basic sustained grip strength while isolating the index finger for trigger manipulation.

Recommended for: marksmanship, fishing, golf, gaming, computer and stress.

How to execute: loosely hold the unit vertically with the buttons toward the fingers and the hook of the ergonomic palm bar positioned over the web space between the thumb and index finger. Grasp buttons tightly with the long ring finger and pinky finger and hold this position while isolating the index finger. Press the remaining button with the index finger as if pulling a trigger.

Tripod Pinch

What it does: assists in holding, tossing, and controlling any game ball in your fingertips.

Recommended for: dribbling a basketball, throwing a football or baseball, bowling, firing a gun, climbing, martial arts, and some yoga & pilates positions.

How to execute: place the thumb tip in the center of the ergonomic base with the index and long fingertips resting on the two center buttons. Keeping the fingertips bent, flex the thumb and fingers toward the center of the unit at the same time. Be sure to keep the ring and pinky fingers bent into the palm during this exercise.

Wrist Flex

What it does: isolates the forearm muscles that bend the wrist to enhance ball handling and weight bearing activities. Strengthens wrist and forearm muscles. Note: the fingers are not active during this exercise.

Recommended for: yoga, pilates, tennis, golf, basketball, football, baseball, hockey, and push-ups.

How to execute: remove ergonomic palm bar. Stand unit upside down on a table. Rest the forearm of the wrist to be exercised in the other hand. Position the bar across the palm and press the bar in a downward motion while flexing only the wrist joint.

HankHaneysEssentialGripStrength 9lbs

With this exclusive DVD and Hand Exerciser set, professional golf instructor Hank Haney teaches you how to use your hands to improve your game and to develop the hand strength you need to play your best golf.

Control: Your grip is your primary control of the club face. Hank teaches how to make simple adjustments to correct slices and hooks. Strengthen individual fingers for improved control on tough shots out of traps or rough. Develop feel & touch for putting.
Strength: Strong hands, wrists, and forearms are crucial for stability & accuracy. Hank believes strong hands are the key to a soft grip and smooth swing. Learn why strength in the three small fingers on your left hand (for right handed golfers) is critical to your game.

Grip Pro Trainer Hand Grip Forearm Strength Gripper 30, 40 & 50 lbs FULL SET of all 3 weights

GripProTrainer 3 Pack

What Is It
GripPro trainer is an extremely effective finger-hand-forearm strength and endurance trainer. It comes in 3 different levels of difficulty: Green-30lb max resistance (easier)-for lighter weight people and warming up, Black-40lb max resistance (medium) for average weight men to train with and Red 50lb max resistance (difficult) for big guys or lower rep strength training.


Use It
GripPro trainer is very portable and easy to use, almost anywhere/anytime…at your desk, stuck in traffic, walking, on the treadmill, etc. Try 3 sets of 30-100 reps a couple times a week for best results over time. Its also great for stress relief.


Why It’s Best
When compared to other portable hand/forearm exercisers GripPro trainer has a great feeling in the hand and is superior to: Grip type balls-extremely boring and mostly therapeutic; metal spring devices with handles-awkward, uncomfortable and due to the fulcrum of the spring give an uneven exercise; hand held gyros-difficult to use.

 
Who Needs It
Few people appreciate how important grip strength is. It affects your abilities in many hobbies and pastimes and your performance in most sports such as: golf, tennis, rock climbing, basketball, baseball, water skiing, jet skis, mountain bikes, extreme sports, softball, Harleys, snowmobiles, and MORE!

PRE-ORDER: Castles In The Sky

CastlesInTheSky

RELEASE DATE: June 22, 2010
(Item will ship as soon as it is in stock)

Castles in the Sky is a completely new approach to surf filmmaking. Filmed in five countries over three years, the movie delves into the true heart of the locations while the surfers travel through them with a sense of open-minded awe. With never-before seen waves, an original score, and some of the best surfers in the world contributing their art, passion and athleticism, this is as close to the experience of pioneering new coastlines as you can get without getting on a plane!

"We created Sipping Jetstreams to inspire surfers to break away from the pattern of traveling to the same well-known destinations, but as a result, we ended up inspiring ourselves to do the same. Before that film was even done, we were already planning this next evolution of the project with a whole new list of destinations. If Sipping Jetstreams was like an ambient dream you have after travel, Castles in the Sky is more like the experience of actually being there." -Taylor Steele

A Twist of The Wrist 2 on DVD - Keith Code Productions

atwist2

The film follows the journey of two new riders, from canyon roads to track as they encounter their own limitations and uncertainties in their riding and then learn to overcome them with the correct techniques that apply in each scenario. They gain confidence and control, start to have fun and improve. The film delivers precision techniques for barriers to cornering such as rider input, fundamentals on steering, visual skills, braking body position throttle control and more." I realized early on in the project that every technique needed to be covered visually in MANY different ways to really show it so that it could be understood and that's what we set out to do" says Code. It was painstaking, precision work that paid off, this film shows riding technique in ways that have never been done before."
