If you find imperfections or tears in the product, in particular in the resistance bands, do not use the product and contact Quell Customer Support.

SELECT RESISTANCE 

1. The strength of the resistance band is engraved on the resistance band connector, with Level 1 (“LVL 01”) being the starting level.
2. Always be careful doing so, and do not use a resistance band set that is not appropriate for you, based on your level of fitness and experience using Quell.

INSERT THE RESISTANCE IN THE BELT

1. Insert the LEFT G-hook (See Image) in the LEFT loop on the back of the belt.
2. The G-hook should be inserted into the top opening of the loop and passed completely through the loop.
3. Repeat points 1. and 2. to insert the RIGHT G-hook into the RIGHT loop on the back of the belt.
4. Ensure the G-hook is inserted correctly by pulling firmly on it. The G-hook has been inserted correctly if it remains firmly within the loop when pulled.

1. WEAR THE BELT

1. The belt should always have the hook-and-loop material and the internal pocket on your right side. The logos on the outside of the belt should always be upright.
2. The belt should always be worn around your upper waist (See Image).

2. WEAR THE BELT

1. Hold the ends of the belt in your left and right hand, at equal length from the centre of your back. If you have access to a mirror, the rear Quell logo on the belt should land in the middle of the spine.

3. WEAR THE BELT

1. Wrap the left side of the belt around your upper waist first, and overlay the right side afterwards, ensuring the micro velcro has a good connection to the brushed fabric.
2. Ensure the fit is tight but note that breathing should not be restricted, since you will be undertaking vigorous exercise. If the belt feels too tight, loosen it by removing it and putting it back on with a looser fit.

1. WEAR THE WRIST STRAPS

1. Place your thumb through the thumb loop and pull down on the wrist strap so the thumb loop is tight but comfortably fitting.

2. WEAR THE WRIST STRAPS

1. Hold the end of the wrist strap with micro fabric and insert through a steel loop on the opposite end of the wrist strap.
2. Pull micro velcro end through the steel loop and back over the length of the wrist strap to secure the micro velcro to the brushed fabric.

CONNECT RESISTANCE - WRIST STRAP

1. Connect the steel carabiner snap hook (See Image) located on the end of the RIGHT resistance band to the d-ring on the RIGHT wrist strap. The resistance band should be on the inside of your arm.
2. Ensure the carabiner snap hook is inserted correctly by pulling firmly on it.
3. Repeat points. 1. and 2. to connect the LEFT resistance with the LEFT wrist strap.

CHECK THE RESISTANCE 

1. The wrist strap should be secured tightly but comfortably, in order to allow correct movement and dexterity during gameplay, while preventing pain or injury. If the wrist strap feels too tight, loosen it before playing.
2. Test the resistance bands by extending your arms forward. If the resistance feels too tight or too loose, go back to Step 2 to adjust accordingly. With your arms raised by your head and fists clenched in a guard position, there should be little to no resistance. Resistance should start engaging as soon as you extend your arms (See Image).

MOVEMENTS AND EXERTION

1. When starting out with a new resistance band strength, begin all exercises slowly to ensure the strength is correct.
2. Do not stretch the resistance band over 3 times its length.
