Operating Instructions

How to Use

The ZIPRO Push Up Handles allow for a deeper range of motion during push-ups, intensifying muscle engagement. Place the handles on a flat, stable surface, approximately shoulder-width apart or slightly wider, depending on your comfort and target muscles.

Proper Form and Technique

• Hand Placement: Grip the foam handles firmly. Your wrists should remain straight and aligned with your forearms, reducing stress on the joints.
• Body Position: Start in a plank position with your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core muscles.
• Descent: Lower your chest towards the floor, allowing your elbows to bend naturally. The handles enable a deeper descent than traditional push-ups.
• Ascent: Push back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
• Breathing: Inhale as you lower your body, exhale as you push back up.

Targeted Muscles

Using the ZIPRO Push Up Handles effectively targets several key muscle groups:

• Chest Muscles (Pectorals): Primary muscle group engaged.
• Shoulder Muscles (Deltoids): Engaged during the pushing motion.
• Triceps Muscles: Work to extend the arms.
• Core Muscles: Stabilize the body throughout the exercise.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning and Storage

• Cleaning: Wipe the handles and bases with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. A mild soap solution can be used for deeper cleaning, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the push-up handles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. They can be easily disassembled for compact storage.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the handles and bases for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is found.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Handles feel unstable: Ensure the handles are fully inserted into their bases. Check that the surface you are exercising on is flat and non-slippery.
• Foam grips feel loose: While rare, if the foam grips feel loose, ensure they are properly seated on the handle bars. If they continue to slip, contact customer support.
• Wrist discomfort: Ensure your wrists are straight and aligned with your forearms. Adjust your hand placement on the grips if necessary. The handles are designed to reduce wrist strain, so persistent discomfort may indicate incorrect form or an underlying issue.
