TRAINING GUIDEHOPZ™

REPS AND SETS: A GENERAL GUIDELINEReps and sets are a way to track progress with your training. This is a general guide. Programs will vary depending on your specific needs, goals, off-season or in-season, experience, etc.

AS A GENERAL GUIDELINE TO START:» 8-10 repetitions for 2-3 sets when training for strength (moderate to heavy weight with

focus on proper form and control).

» 4-6 repetitions for 3-5 sets when training for power (moderate resistance with increase in speed of movement.

PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCEProgressive resistance is a concept that states you should be able to lift more weights or do more repetitions each time you perform an exercise. As you progress through any training phase, increase the resistance when your prescribed repetitions decrease. When the prescribed repetitions increase, decrease the resistance accordingly. You may also need to adjust your repetitions, sets, and resistance if you are not seeing improvements in your goals.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:Belt is machine washable. Hang dry. Do not tumble dry.

3. When attaching the bands, start with clipping them to the belt. Clip one 7.5 inch resistance band on the right ring and one 7.5 inch resistance band on the left ring. NOTE: The 7.5 inch band is recommended for beginners. For an advanced workout, add the additional 5.5 inch bands to each side for resistance up to 80 lbs.

left to the left ankle strap.

IMPORTANT HOPZ REMOVAL – For safe and easy removal of Hopz, kneel or sit down in chair to minimize resistance band tension. When tension is minimized, unclip each resistance band from the ankle straps and belt. After the resistance bands have been unclipped, remove the belt and ankle straps.
