Using the SKLZ Pro Lateral Fitness Resistor is easy. First, adjust the padded ankle cuffs to fit your ankles comfortably. Then, choose the appropriate resistance cable according to your fitness level. You can use it for lateral movements, like side steps, to improve your speed and muscle strength. When using the Slide - Lock system to change resistance cables, make sure to do it carefully to avoid any accidents. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry place after use. Wipe it down with a clean cloth if it gets dirty. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or sharp objects that could damage the cables or cuffs.
