HOW TO HOLD ACTIV5

6. For best results, position the Activ5
device in your hands as follows.

CORRECT

Pressure Area

INCORRECT

SETTING MAX POWER

7. Every Activ5 exercise is
customized to your unique
strength level.

To personalize each exercise,
you will need to set your MAX
POWER before starting each
exercise.

The Activ5 app will prompt
you to set your MAX POWER
as you start exercises and
workouts.

SET MAX POWER

During this step, the Activ5
app will ask you to adopt the
correct exercise pose and
apply maximum pressure to
the Activ5 device. You will see
your MAX POWER reading in
the Activ5 App.

Note:

To track your increase of
strength over time, we
recommend resetting your
MAX POWER every 7-10 days.

SETTING MAX POWER

After you've selected an exercise in the app,
be sure to set your MAX POWER for that
exercise. To do so, adopt the correct pose
and apply maximum pressure to the Activ5
device until the 5-second timer runs out.

By customizing your MAX POWER
Activ5 ensures that each exercise
is challenging, but achievable,
helping you to get fitter, faster.

HOW DOES ACTIV5 WORK?

The way you interact with the
Activ5 App is through a
marker, which represents the
amount of pressure applied to
your Activ5 device.

In the Activ5 App, the marker
will be a dot or a skier.

More pressure makes the dot
go HIGHER, Less pressure
makes the dot go LOWER.

In Activ5 Games, available for
separate download in the
Android and iTunes App
Stores, the marker will vary.

Pressure you apply on the
Activ5 device controls your
marker.

More pressure makes the skier
go RIGHT, Less pressure
makes the skier go LEFT.

COACHING CURVES

The Activ5 App coaches you
by creating curves for each
exercise, based on your MAX
POWER. We call this version of
isometric exercise "Variobics "

By applying more or less
pressure to the Activ5 device

you can keep your marker on
the exercise curve.

If MAX POWER isn't set for
each exercise, the exercise will
not be customized to your
strength level and may be too
easy or too dicult.

Note: Screens may
not appear the same
on all mobile devices.

ISOMETRICS

Isometric exercise has been
practiced for over 5,000 years and
is the muscle strengthening
foundation of both yoga and
pilates.
What distinguishes isometrics from
other forms of muscle exercise is
that you tense your muscles against
a static object (such as the floor) or
against other muscles, so your
joints are static while multiple
muscle groups are fully engaged.

You may not be moving, but
scientific research has proven that
isometric exercise is one of the
fastest and most ecient ways to
build strength, burn fat and tone
your body.

Because Activ5 isometric exercises
are discrete and static, you can
perform them at your desk, while
watching TV, or on a plane, making
powerful health-transforming
workouts available to you anytime,
anywhere.

Activ5 oers over 100 workouts
ensuring you can always find the

perfect workout, wherever you are.
Activ5 coaches you to vary the
pressure exerted during each
exercise rep, building muscle
control and turning each rep into a
game .

Activbody workouts are based on
fractionalized exercise, or working
out in short bursts throughout the
day. Medical studies have shown
fractionalized exercise can deliver
all the results of longer workouts
while contributing to heart health,
overall well-being, and reducing the
risk of chronic diseases, such as
diabetes.

Activbody Isometrics are fast, fun
workouts that make you stronger
and toned, enabling you to burn
calories faster and keep active
throughout the day.

To learn more about the science of
isometrics and ways to incorporate
Activ5 into your daily routine,
