This guy was the real deal. Bought his book, Heavy Hands in 1982 while working as an exercise physiologist at a facility in Manhattan after graduating with a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology from Penn State. I incorporated hand weights while walking on treadmills and cycling on stationary bikes for the participants in the gym and the clients loved the extra workload and challenge. At 72 years old I still weigh the same as when I was boxing in Philadelphia in the 70's and still have a resting heart rate of 45 as when I was training for the Army in 1975 and preparing for the Munich Marathon in 1978. I still incorporate the upper and lower body in ALL my cardio workouts as preached by Dr. Schwartz to include rope flow (check UA-cam for demonstrations), stationary biking, Indian clubs, steel clubs and a shit load of other activities. I will ALWAYS be indebted to Leonard Schwartz for his research, insight and example in achieving optimum fitness levels.--Mike
Found a pair of heavy hands in my shed today and searched on how to use them. Thankfully, I found this video. Great exercise session. I actually broke a sweat. I will be doing this again.
I've just begun training with Weighted Hands (The modern version of HeavyHands). This system is an absolute slam dunk. Low expense, little space needed, not a lot of equipment, and results. I remember the tennis craze, the aerobics craze, jogging, etc. This beats the nonsense out of all those combined. This should be common knowledge.
you add the weighted hand movements while walking on a track or in a field, add them while on a stationary bike. Either method greatly increases the workload of that particular movement.--mike
I believe heavy hands only came in five was the heaviest, but I may be wrong. That’s what I remember but regardless what he’s doing is actually pretty impressive at that pace.
@@darylhill9400 I had 1 to 10 by 1. 1 to 5 was mainstream. You had to special order after that. I believe poundage went over 10, but it's been a long time so don't hold me to it.

The man, the innovator, the legend. The good Dr. is still with us through these videos and I am grateful.

Those look like 10 lb weights, madman!
MAD MAN .LOL
So just swing random motions with the weights??

Get the book.
What do you think he's swinging? At least 10's, and I can tell w/ the moves he's doing that aint easy.

They don't look like 10'- but in other video he had a pair looking simmilar and he is saying that they are 6lb each
@@Globiworld2000 We'll never know?
Does anyone know how much the dumbbells he is using weigh?
I have a complete set of heavy hands. Those are about an 8 pound set. Maybe a 7 at the least.
8 to 10? Don't start there if you're new to it.
Getting it in lol
