Congratulations on starting your new posture routine with CoreXO™ . Your back is about to be very happy with you as COreXO™ helps you get a comfortable stretch or even a back crack!
Here are some tips on how to wear your new CoreXO™ and make the best out of your posture training practice.
Here is what you have to do to get a great stretch and practice your posture.
- Hold your CoreXO™ Posture Vest with the zipper facing away from you
- Place CoreXO™ on your back. Adjust the sleeve so the seam is aligned with the seam on your shirt. Wear the other sleeve and repeat this alignment.
- You’ll now pull down gently from the middle of the vest to ensure proper fit on the mid back. Pull until the strap is aligned at your high waist.
- You are now ready to buckle the waist strap. Make sure the band isn’t twisted and is laying flat on your torso. Insert the band through both sides of the buckle and through the belt loop. The waist band was designed to grip in place without bulky equipment while maintaining comfort.
- Your waist strap should rest about 6 inches above your belly button, right under your chest.
We consider this level one. Most users feel this level provides enough support pulling down on the shoulders and engaging the core to align the posture.
You may start with 15- 30 minutes a day for the first couple of weeks and then work your way up to longer training periods. It's important to remember that your back will likely resist the new alignment. CoreXO’s™ soft materials will allow this process to be virtually pain free until your posture improves and your shoulders stop resisting alignment.
Level 2. - Pull the Shoulder Straps:
This is where most people get a really satisfying stretch or even experience a satisfying back crack.
This feature of the CoreXO™ Posture Vest comes very handy when we wake up with a sore neck or kink on your shoulders, or after a long day at the office when we need to peel off of our desk and get a nice stretch.
Engaging the straps is also useful during exercise, stretching, and even assisting with some yoga poses.
- Reach back and grab the bottom of the straps. You may hold the buckle with the opposite hand to make them slide easier.
- Pull both straps at the same time to get a nice neck and shoulder stretch.
- You may pull the shoulders straight down or pull at an angle to find that perfect stretch.
- The straps are built sturdy enough to allow you to pull strongly until you find your stretch.
You may continue to wear CoreXO™ with the straps down. This feature was designed to hold the straps down to train the shoulders to be positioned back and down.
Level 3- “Lats Zipper”.
This feature allows you to cup any back bulge that gets in the way of proper alignment.
It’s also intended to make space for your arms to be rolled back slightly to support proper alignment.
- To close the zipper, simply reach back and… Just kidding.. unless you have more than 2 arms you’ll have to remove your CoreXO™.
- Pull the zipper all the way up and lock in place. The zipper has a pin-lock mechanism, so the slider is locked in place when the tab lays down flat on the zipper
This is also when you can retrieve the shoulder straps back to level 1.
3. Once you’ve adjusted the zipper, repeat steps above to wear CoreXO™ and ensure proper fit.
You may pull the shoulder straps further to adjust fit and get an extra stretch.
And that's it, you’re now ready to train your posture comfortably with CoreXO™.
Start by wearing CoreXO™ Posture Vest for only 15 minutes. You will see that this is enough for the first week or so, You’ll then move on to wear it for longer periods of posture training.
Try wearing CoreXO™ the day of a big event, it will build confidence and muscle memory to show a proud posture at the event.
While driving, you may want to release the waist strap and keep the sleeves on for a gentle reminder in the car. You want to avoid using CoreXO™ when you need to cross your arms for a long period of time.
With CoreXO's™ beautiful styles and adaptive design, you’ll be inspired to enjoy great posture everywhere you go!
