Important: If you are just beginning your exercise program with the DX•ƒ Gloves, we urge you to START SLOWLY and proceed GRADUALLY. There is a natural temptation to try to achieve maximum performance levels immediately. This temptation should be resisted. If not, your first experience may lead to excessive muscle soreness and may discourage you from developing a regular exercise routine. You will derive the greatest benefit from this program if you proceed gradually.
We suggest you begin by performing each of the listed exercises at a light to moderate exertion level. Once you are familiar with each exercise, choose five or six to form the core for your daily routine. Then periodically review this website to add additional exercises as you progress.

Outside Knee Press
Place palms on outside of knees with knees wide apart. Press knees together while resisting with leg muscles. Reverse direction of movement, allowing knees to spread apart. Maintain pressure while opening and closing knees. Each rep should take 2-5 seconds. Perform 10 reps.
Incline Push Ups
Using a chair, desktop, or low table (e.g., coffee table) place hands on table or chair and perform push-ups at one or two second intervals. Taller tables or chair arms may be used for a lighter workout. For a more challenging workout, place feet on table, chair or bed and hands on floor to perform push-ups. Use tone to establish pace.
Dips
Using two sturdy chairs, place the backs facing each other, then perform “dips” between the two chairs. Feet may remain on the floor to support some body weight. Use tone to establish pace. Variation: Sitting in an arm chair, perform dips using the chair arms.
Chest Press
Standing, sitting, or lying down, place hands together in front of chest and press together. Expand muscle coverage by:
A. Starting with hands pressed together overhead then slowly lower them to abdomen level while maintaining pressure.
B. Begin exercise with hands close to chest then slowly extend to full arm length while maintaining pressure.
C. Start with hands together in front of left shoulder then move slowly to right shoulder.
