Tips For Success:
1.	 P
 lan your training days. We recommend that you schedule Training Sessions on days that you don’t have practice and take a day “off” in between
Training Sessions.
2.	 Find the right training space. You need access to a door and at least 10 sq. feet of space.
* TIP: Set up the Door Anchor and have 2 Training Cables ready so that you can move quickly between movements (that’s why we gave you 2 sets of Flex
Handles and 3 Cables).
3.	 Secure your Door Anchor—and let others know not to open the door during your training.
4.	 Know how to use Training Cables. Be sure to keep tension in the Cable throughout the entire range-of-motion.
TIP: Change your load. If a session feels easy, press pause and increase the intensity of the Training Cable.
1. Double-wrap Cable around your feet.
2. Move further away from your anchor point.
3. Choose a heavier Cable—last rep feel easy? Trade up. Each rep should feel like work.
5.	 Fit in Recover Sessions. Take time to roll through Recover Sessions after each Training Session or any time you have time.
