Indo Board Balance
Trainer
• The Indo Board Balance
Trainers are simple, stable, and user friendly.
• Anyone can ride with a few basic instructions and
something or someone to hold on to for support.
• The learning curve is 10 to 15 minutes for most, after
that, Indoboarding becomes routinely easy and fun.
The Indo Board goal is to introduce a FUN and CHALLENGING
way to exercise the bodies
balance control systems. Even though balance is so easily
taken for granted, human movement is dependent on balance
and coordination. In this new age of fitness awareness, the
notion of balance training IS essential, particularly in
board sports and all physical activities utilizing the core
muscles.
•Keeping the
board from touching the ground for extended rides is both
the goal and challenge.

A-1 Textiles
A-1 Textiles knows that one
of the biggest monthly replacement items in all athletic
clubs and athletic departments are “towels.” This item
which can “walk” out the door or wear out quickly must
first be manufactured to withstand the constant washing
and bleaching and over drying it is subjected to. The
end user wants the towel to be soft, white, and
absorbent. The complete line of Golden Mills towels
available from A-1 Textiles are manufactured to do just
this. With six shipping points nationwide and an option
from seven different levels of quality/price towel, A-1
Textiles has the perfect towel for your
needs.

Concept2
Concept2 got
its start in 1976 in the back of a bread truck when Dick
and Pete Dreissigacker, fresh from Olympic training,
started making composite racing oars, now the oar of choice
among the world's rowers. They went on to create the
Concept2 Indoor Rower, now used worldwide by Olympic
athletes, cardiac rehab patients and every caliber of rower
in between who have discovered that rowing is the best
low-impact, full-body workout available!
Rowing
works many muscle groups through wide a range of motion.
Knees, hips, arms and shoulders will each see 90 - 130
degrees of rotation in every stroke. It’s this full-body
muscle involvement that makes rowing a great calorie burner
and helps users develop flexibility and strength. Rowing is
impact-free, and the intensity is completely
user-controlled. It offers superb cardiovascular exercise
that is suitable for all ages.
Both
the new Model E or the updated Model D Indoor Rowers come
with extensive web-based programming and support for
fitness facilities. And Concept2 brings customers the
latest trends in fitness: technology-based workouts that
include everything from audio downloads to virtual rowing,
and group rowing, instructor training and certification
options.
