Cumberland Maryland, nestled in the “Narrows” of the Western Maryland mountainside, is an up and coming travel destination for those looking for exciting dining, shopping, sightseeing, arts, theatre and outdoor activities. A quaint and historic city, Cumberland, also known as the “Queen City”, has a rich history stretching back to early American history; at one time a stronghold for Union forces during the American Civil War and later evolving into a major industrial and transportation hub. Once the second largest city in Maryland (after Baltimore), Cumberland went into a period of decline as industries closed, jobs were lost and the city had to reinvent itself. Now, Cumberland is a vibrant urban center enjoying a renaissance in part due to a growing arts, theatre and tourism community. In addition, Cumberland has become a destination for outdoor enthusiasts anchored by a the cities geographical position at the center the Great Allegheny Passage biking and hiking trails which connects Washington, DC to Pittsburgh, PA.

Cumberland loves its local sports scene, visit in the fall and attend a High School Football game to watch Fort Hill High School take on cross town rival Allegany High School. Eat where the locals eat? Visit Curtis’s Coney Island Wieners on North Centre Street in downtown for a hot dog with a secret meat sauce to die for. Check out D’Atris Restaurant in La Vale and order a cheese steak sub, like no sub you will find anywhere else.

The Golf Mojo $59.95 "The Golf Mojo Over the last few decades, training has evolved from general training to sports-specific and finally to motion-specific isolation of the particular muscles that come into play during your specific motion. Scientific testing has proven overwhelmingly that lower arm strength and conditioning is too often neglected. Thus, it is apparent that proper strength and conditioning is extremely important in all sports today. This known fact encourages individuals to train correctly and effectively if they wish to be competitive and productive while holding on to their respective sports equipment during a swing motion. The most important aspect of performing any exercise is being able to isolate the area of focus. The MOJO golf swing trainer incorporates targeted isolation weight resistance of the forearms and its biomechanical design strengthens and conditions the wrist and hands as well. The isolation principle of sports and motion-specific training is the true difference between good efforts and great results. The Golf Mojo graduated weight system of three different weights and recommended incremental grip positioning is not only versatile, but very effective. It promotes proper overloading and encourages necessary underloading of the muscle fibers during motion-specific drills. The heavier weighted MOJO combined with slower speed reps establish strength and endurance through the recruitment of slow twitch muscle fibers while the lighter weighted MOJO coupled with faster speed reps tap into the fast twitch muscle fibers for speed and quickness. Features MOJO POWER CYLINDER FACTOR: The cylindrical weight's distribution of mass and strategic positioning located very close to the user’s hands establishes correct muscle memory for peak acceleration and explosive power where it matters - through impact. MOJO® weight increments of 3.5, 5.5 and 7.5 pounds are designed to help you progress in powerizing yourself safely and correctly, allowing individuals of all strength levels to benefit from MOJO® swing dynamics technology. The weighted cylinder also encourages an even more dynamic approach to increasing swing power via its power band attachment mechanism strategically positioned on the face of the cylinder. Most everyone is much stronger with one arm over the other, so being able to perform one-arm swinging drills with either just the lead or impact arm or with just the trailing arm is so crucial with establishing a double-barrel approach to generating power via these two levers of force-velocity. MOJO DESIGNED HANDLE: The golf grip handle's shorter length and required larger grip diame |
