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.
