www.KamagonBall.com
The Kamagon Ball® was born from necessity. While the tness industry had developed tools
that destabilized your position in space, there were no weights themselves that created
instability. We knew this concept would be the next phase in the evolution of tness. Utilizing
years of experience in professional training, we created a simple, yet highly effective tool
to address this need: The Kamagon Ball®. This versatile tool can be used for everything
from muscle isolation to full-body development to sport-specic movements. Not only can
a Kamagon Ball® do all the things a static weight can do, but it has the added bonus of full core
recruitment. This means no matter what movement you are doing, the core is being utilized and
developed in a functional way. The core is essential to everything from preventing low back pain to
developing good posture to increasing overall strength.
So what does “Kamagon” mean?
Kamagon is derived from the name of a species of tree in the Philippines that is also known
as “ironwood” for its extreme durability and density. This wood is prized as a weapon because
a well-made ironwood stick can break a steel sword or shatter armor. We decided this was the
perfect symbol for what the Kamagon Ball® will do for your body. You will become strong, yet
exible, and denitely a cut above average!
Conclusion
We are very excited to be a part of your quest for optimal tness. Your Kamagon Ball® can
be utilized with literally HUNDREDS of exercises to continuously provide you with fun and
challenging movements. You will simultaneously develop strength, balance and shed unwanted
pounds. Challenge the body. Ask it to adapt gradually and safely, and constantly progress. With
this formula, you will be amazed at what the Kamagon Ball® can do for you!
Train Hard!

UNIT WARNING LABEL
WARNING
!
Your Kamagon Ball® has two handles for single-handed or two-handed exercises. This
allows for much greater versatility than other weights that have only one area to grip.
The Kamagon Ball® has a water port to adjust the weight of your Ball. This eliminates
the need to buy a range of different weights, thus saving space and time. Below the
water port is a point to insert an air pump and add air to your Kamagon Ball®, if you
choose. This will make your ball rmer and eliminate any indentations caused by
natural air loss through training. With these basic points understood, you have unlocked
the door to unlimited exercise options that are not only highly effective, but fun.

GENERAL EXERCISE GUIDELINES
STAY MOTIVATED WITH OUR ONLINE COMMUNITY
Prior to your rst Kamagon Ball® workout ll the Kamagon Ball® to a weight which is
comfortable for you to begin with. Take special caution to not overll the ball until you’ve had
time to experience and adapt to the Hydro-Inertia® as too much water could result in injury.
This booklet will describe a number of very basic Kamagon Ball® movements for use with
either the 14” or 9” Kamagon Ball®. These are very basic moments which will help your body
to adapt you to the hydro-Inerta® created by the ball. If you are a beginner, practice each
exercise until you have mastered each technique. Do not try the more advanced exercises
until you have mastered the basic steps.
Every 9” Kamagon Ball® comes with ‘The Kamagon® Total Body Challenge’ workout DVD.
Follow the instructions on the DVD and feel free to follow along with the included four (4) week
Kamagon Workout Guide. Again, practice to ensure proper form to ensure that you’re getting
the most of the workout and preventing any risk of injury.
It’s especially important to let your body rest approximately two to three days a week to allow
your muscles to adapt and your body to rest.
Buyers of the 14” Kamagon Ball® (Evolve) can nd information regarding the Kamagon Ball®
workout DVD at our website: www.kamagonball.com
Our Web-based community will motivate you and strengthen your determination to help you
achieve your goals.

TESTIMONIALS
Exercise is one of the fundamental keys to health. Exercising with the Kamagon Ball® can
improve cardiovascular health when used in a full-body circuit, as well as prevent injuries
through building core muscles, balance and stability. Strong core muscles are key in
preventing injury and in post-injury rehab.
Aaron Miranda
M.D. specializing in physical medicine/rehabilitation
As a doctor of chiropractic for over 30 years, I am always looking for methods that my patients
can use to strengthen their core muscles and avoid reaggravation to their spinal instabilities.
The Kamagon Ball® does just that. Under the guidance of a certied trainer, patients can use
the Kamagon Ball® as a versatile, all-inclusive therapeutic exercise tool to strengthen every
spinal and supporting muscle in the body. The use of the ball requires little space and, once
instructed, patients can use the ball in their homes without the need for travel to and from a
gym or therapy facility.

I have used the Kamagon Ball® for the last three months with my clients andthe inertia effect
from the water is unmatched. I use the KamagonBall® in many situations with every type
of clientele I train. Thereare substantial benets for training your core and abdominal area.
Adding aproprioceptively enriched environment to every exercise isthe best way to develop
your core muscles and drop waist sizes.
