This week’s featured product is our new AOS Outlaw Rope.  The AOS Outlaw Rope, manufactured exclusively for Art of Strength, is a 6’ long miniature version of the manila and nylon rope we use for our AOS Ropes Gone Wild workouts. 

The AOS Outlaw Ropes can be integrated into most exercises, adding a new dynamic to your workouts.  The Outlaw Rope is a great addition to some of the basic routines you're probably already doing.  Exercises such as the swing, pull-ups, and farmer's walk, take on a whole new twist when joined with the Outlaw Rope.  Add more core to your swings by making them Outlaw Swings. To improve grip strength, change your farmer's walk into an Outlaw Walk, and your usual pull-ups now become a forearm blasting exercise.  In addition to modifying existing exercises, we’ve come up with new routines like the Outlaw Rotation, Rope Curls and Rope Extensions.  Take a look at our Outlaw Gallery to view the Outlaw Ropes in action.

Benefits to using the AOS Outlaw Ropes:

• Arthritis Prevention and Relief
• Carpel Tunnel Prevention
• Forearm Strength
• Wrist Strength
• Finger and Grip Strength
  

The AOS Outlaw Ropes are available in 2" and 1.5" diameters in the manila and 1.5" diameter in the nylon.  All ropes are 6’ in length.  Prices for the Outlaw Rope in manila are $44.00 (2”) $36.00 (1.5”) and $48.00 (1.5”) for the nylon.

One question that we seem to get a lot of here at Art of Strength is where should a beginner kettlebell enthusiast start.  We understand that starting a kettlebell workout can be intimidating as it's not a workout that even the most fit of athletes are accustomed to.  So we've divided the on demand downloadable workouts into 2 different categories, Step 1 - Foundations and Step 2 - Strength and Speed.

For Step 1, workouts like Elevation, Clinic and Providence will set you in the right direction giving you a solid foundation in kettlebell training and the tools necessary to progress onto Step 2.  Step 2 workouts such as Newport, Firepower,  The 1200 Workout,  and  Smokin Ladders will boost not only your confidence in kettlebell routines, but also your overall strength and speed.

Have you checked out our growing number on-demand workouts???  You haven't?!?!? Well, what are you waiting for?  What's more convenient than clicking on a workout and instantly having it download to your computer?  They're perfect last minute gifts for the holidays; simply download and email to a friend or relative...or keep for yourself and work off some of those holiday pounds!  Check out our AOSX section to find the workout that's right for you.

Here's what some of our customers are saying:

"As a deployed soldier in Iraq, I have run the gamut of exercise programs. This may very well be the best! The workouts are brief, which is important when time is limited. They are intense. The exercises are adequately explained in the video portion. Yet another hit from Mr. DiLuglio."
Bobby Matthews (Camp Slayer , Iraq)


"I just finished my first work out with the new AOS Smokin Ladders and I have to say I'm "Smoked". Gee Whiz, it did not seem to be that hard at first glance, but I had to drop the weight to get through it (or should I say 1/2 of it). Another top notch work out and a great training concept. I can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve to add to this in the future."
P. Gilliland (Columbus, United States)


"Anthony, You always deliver, I am always asking myself what should I try today, what are they doing at Punch, well this product helps answer my questions all I can say is keep them coming I love this stuff!"
Gary Gant (Victorville, California, United States)
