Our French distributor, Jean Makpevode, is a third degree black belt in the art of Tae Kwon Do, karate. I didn’t know this when he originally contacted me and expressed the desire to be our French distributor. To visit his website go to www.heartflex.fr.
HeartFlex is particularly useful for the martial arts because it:
- Improves Hand Speed
- HeartFlex utilizes the same principals as a boxer’s speed bag by combining easy resistance with multiple repetitions.
- Builds Arm Structure
- HeartFlex targets and strengthens the wrist and forearm muscles so that they act as one cohesive unit. Stabilizing these muscles delivers a much more powerful punch or block and helps to protect against carpal injuries.
- Makes You Punch Like a Demon
- Blazing hand speed coupled with arm strength maximizes the effectiveness of your punching power.
Jean also trains other elite athletes. He uses the HeartFlex to develop dynamic balance and core stability.
Jean teaches fitness classes in Paris where he takes his students and walks the neighborhoods while using HeartFlex.
Walking in Paris while using the HeartFlex is a great way to get a complete workout. He calls these outings "Tonic Walks. Here he is on the left giving some personal instruction to one of his students. "
He has developed a group cardio workout in conjunction with the Reebok Step. HeartFlex supplies the crucial upper body component of fitness while walking.
Watch him demonstrate this workout by clicking on this video link. His website is: www.heartflex.fr .
Note the spring action walking devices that Jean is using with the HeartFlex.
