This project began as a re-imagining of an existing wood product. The goals were to reduce cost, increase durability, reduce weight, increase safety, functionality, utility, and reduce it's storage footprint.
Designed to sit on it's side for storage
The original concept housed a mini back stretcher nested on the bottom. This orientation is used for balancing body work.
There are many stainless steel vacuum bottles on the market. The goal here was to design a sports bottle that could also sit comfortably in an office environment.
Can we combine play with physical and mental exercise in a kit that is fun for kids? Weighted bean bags combined with a target toss game for hand to eye coordination, tic-tac-toe for a cognitive challenge and hop-scotch to get kids moving.
A medicine ball with a twist. With a shifting center of sand, the Twist Ball™ challenges the user to control the moving center of gravity throughout exercises. Soft, neoprene-covered handles allow for double- and single-handed swinging, and can be fitted over an ankle for leg lifts.
The Mat Strap Plus was designed with built-in resistance tubing to use in strength training exercises as well a carry strap for a yoga mat.
