Joint and Limb Strength

Hand Grip Benefits

Lightweight use of Hand Grips

Our curriculum provides for a variety of exercises with the hand grips.  Some of the hand grip exercises are illustrated on the Core Strength page.  They may appear too  difficult for a rehab application however, those with lower levels of strength can begin by using the handgrips in a push-up  position from the knees  rather than a push-up position from the feet.   The handgrip attachments can be used to walk the Woggler up and down a wall with your hands.

Joint & Limb Benefits of the Reciprocal Motion

Ankles and joints experience a twisting, stretching motion that brings strength and wellness to knees and ankles even where there have been injuries. By using dumbbell weights or a Cor-Ball upper extremity joints and limbs are greatly affected by the reciprocal motion that the Woggler imposes upon the body. The curriculum utilizes the benefits of Med-Balls as well.

Rug with weights or CorBall

Beginning in start position with weights or CorBall walk the yellow dots first and backwards on the red. Then walk the black rings and backwards on the white. Hold your weights or CorBall high and discover a rhythm while walking that maximizes upper body movement.

3 Step and Punch

(with bungees)

Beginning in start position launch with your right foot on the red dot and with an immediate smooth motion as soon as your foot hits the first red dot, punch with your left hand and proceed with your left foot to the next dot and punch with your right hand. Do this throughout the rug and go on to the yellow dots. Then to the white and finally to the black rings.

Benefits of Static Stretches

In the curriculum our stretches begin with your ankles and work up through your body and out through your shoulders arms and wrists. Our ankle stretches reach all three planes of motion. The Woggler with the Hand Grip attachment facilitates many stretches illustrated on the static stretch link.
