As a father of two young children, husband, and Director of Product Development for a Fortune 500 company, I found it difficult to manage family, work, and fitness. As a fan of mixed martial arts and boxing, I would often carry dumbbells or wear weighted gloves on family hikes to intensify my workout. Dumbbells were too awkward and obstructed my motion. Weighted gloves were too top heavy, got sweaty, smelled, and frequently were destroyed by washing them.
One day while shadowboxing, I accidentally struck my son with the end of a dumbbell as he ran up behind me.
As a product designer and inventor with five Utility Patents to my credit, I was inspired to use my experience and expertise to create a more ergonomic set of hand weights that increase the intensity of exercise without altering sport specific fluid motion and with zero risk of hurting anyone.
Joking with my family one morning, I realized how ergonomically correct an egg felt while shadowboxing. Just like that, Egg Weights was born! I started casting various metals into egg shapes and I 3D printed various grips to secure the weight in the hand. By utilizing denser and denser metals to reach heavier weights, I was able to keep the shape small and palm centered. This breakthrough allows for fluid motion with intensity and correct athletic muscle memory.
Egg Weights are a great tool used to increase the intensity of any sports exercise with proper form and technique. Try them with Shadowboxing, Running, Sports Training, Plyometric Drills, Agility Training, HIIT, Pilates, Yoga, Physical Therapy and much more! I guarantee you'll never put them down!
