| Gymnastic Rings for Strength Training |
| Challenge Your Body in a Completely New Way |
| EXF Rings (formerly called "Elite Rings") are a portable version of
gymnastic Still Rings that can be setup virtually anywhere. They boost muscle activation
by adding new levels of instability to common strength exercises. |

What Makes This a Better Fitness Product?
Gymnasts that compete on the Still Rings have amazing arm, shoulder, and back development
as a result of their unique training methods. EXF Rings allow you to replicate this type
of training anywhere, for a fraction of the cost of commercial gymnastics equipment. EXF
Rings are extremely well made, and will continue to challenge you for years to come. |

| Have You Tried the World's Most Challenging Pushup? |
EXF Rings Pushup |
| When most people hear "Still Rings", they immediately think, "Iron
Cross", but that's just one of many strength movements that are performed on the
rings. There are dozens of others — including pull-ups, pushups, and dips — that
gymnasts practice before even attempting an Iron Cross. Nearly every exercise is more
challenging when done on the rings. Take the pushup, for example. The position is the same
as when you do them on the floor, but there's nothing (other than your own shoulder,
chest, and back muscles) to prevent your hands from moving in, out, back, or forth. If
you've never done a ring pushup, you'll be amazed at how much more difficult this makes
the exercise. |
| EXF Rings' Instability Stimulates More Muscle Fibers |
| Your body is very efficient, and only recruits
the minimum number of muscle fibers needed to complete the movement it's asked to perform.
That's great as a survival strategy, but it limits your ability to build additional
strength. To counter this, many strength trainers favor exercises that also require your
body to stabilize and balance itself. Such exercises stimulate more muscle fibers and
yields faster strength gains. That's why free weights are generally more effective than
exercise machines, and why dumbbells provide additional benefits over barbells. Ring
training extends this concept even further, providing one of the most stimulating forms of
exercise ever devised. |

| EXF Rings for Rehabilitation |
| Because ring training activates so many
muscles in such a coordinated way, it's also an effective adjunct to some forms of
physical therapy. Note, too, that full-range movements are not always necessary. Great
gains in shoulder stability can be made from simply performing "supports" —
i.e. supporting your body over the rings with your arms extended, elbows locked. Forces on
the body can be limited by maintaining foot or knee contact with the floor, or through
manual assistance by a physical therapist. |

| Everything You Need to Get Started |
The following items are included with each EXF Rings order:
- (2) EXF Rings
- (2) 18-foot high-strength nylon webbing straps with quick-lock buckles
- 112-page ebook: Ring Training for Elite Fitness
(setup instructions, basic exercises, and sample workouts)
Elite Rings' straps easily adjust in length to accommodate different exercises —
e.g. close to the floor for pushups or ab roll-outs, shoulder-high for dips, and higher
for pullups.
The straps are designed to loop over any sturdy overhead beam. We suggest using a
chinning bar, swing set frame, or a strong tree branch. You can also hang them from most
ceilings using eye-bolts (not included, but available from most hardware stores). |
| Note: All EXF Rings components have been load tested up to 1000
lbs. However, they are not intended for swinging exercises, such as giant swings and
double back flip dismounts. For those, you need an FIG-certified ring frame with spring
loaded, swivel mounts. |
|
| High-Performance Rings That Go Where You Go |
| EXF Rings are made from a high-quality engineered plastic. Their textured surface
provides excellent grip, and their internally-molded ribs maximize their strength. This
construction makes them considerably lighter than conventional wood or steel rings, and
perfect for stuffing in your backpack, gym bag, or suitcase. Bored with the gym? Take
your workout to the park! |
| EXF Rings' Newest Features |
EXF Rings were originally called "Elite Rings". Along with the new name come
their new color (black) and new features that will significantly improve your ring
training experience:
- Multitextured Surface
The surface of EFX Rings now incorporates three distinct textures (smooth, rough, and
rubberized). You select the perfect texture for your needs simply by rotating that portion
of the ring to the downward position.
- New S-Buckle
EXF Rings' mounting hardware now includes a special S-Buckle that allows you to attach the
straps to a mounting surface without rethreading the main quick-lock buckles. This is a
real time saver if you take your EXF Rings to different locations.
- Measured Webbing
EFX Rings' nylon webbing now includes permanent markings, which are a big help for quickly
adjusting the left and right rings to the same height.
