Have you ever wondered how to add MORE to your Pilates workout?  Probably not if you are like most people who think Pilates is hard enough!

Well, there is an Austin based company, HyperWear, owned by Cosmo Raines and Dirk Buikema who are doing just that.  The company has developed a weighted vest that is one of the most innovative on the market. It fits snuggly and is very comfortable and you can add it to any workout to add weight and resistance for better performance in the long run. 

They asked me to try is out at the CATZ facility in Austin while doing Pilates.  It was challenging and made all the exercises more difficult, especially the plank series.  I found that the fit of the vest is easy to move in and never got in the way of the workout.  Check out the video and see for yourself!
