Elite and professional athletes often have secret training methods that give them a competitive edge. While these secrets are typically kept under wraps, we’re letting you in on one of them: KILOGEAR’s weighted training gear. Our products are the hidden weapon in the training arsenals of athletes across various sports. Though we can’t disclose their names due to non-disclosure agreements, we can share their best-kept secrets so you can elevate your own training.
1. KILOGEAR Increases Stamina and Endurance
Athletes across disciplines—whether on the field, court, track, or even scaling mountains—use KILOGEAR to enhance their conditioning. The comfortable, extremity-based design of our weighted gear allows athletes to wear it during running, jogging, sprints, or even low-impact exercises like using the elliptical or stairmaster. What makes KILOGEAR truly unique is its ability to challenge the muscles and cardiovascular system without altering biomechanics.In third-party testing, participants wearing KILOGEAR achieved higher peak heart rates and worked harder without perceiving the workout as more difficult. This means when it’s game time, these athletes are ready to play stronger for longer.
2. KILOGEAR Enhances Strength with Microloading
Every athlete seeks strength, but the best are functionally strong. KILOGEAR’s removable MICRO weights target the core muscles, which are crucial for speed, mobility, and balance. A strong core stabilizes and balances the lower body, enabling athletes to reach their full potential.Functional strength means producing force during sport-specific movements. For instance, sprinters can wear KILOGEAR’s weighted shorts and tights during sprints, training their muscles to generate more force in their exact running movements. The removable MICRO weights allow for customized loading, ensuring the resistance matches the demands of the sport.
3. Practicing with KILOGEAR Makes Perfect
Elite athletes understand the importance of repetition in mastering their craft. They focus on specific movements found in competition, repeating them regularly to build muscle memory. Studies have shown that more repetitions with lighter weights are effective for building muscle. The brain, not the muscles, stores the commands that engage muscle memory, making repetition key.When athletes add KILOGEAR to their training, they see results faster. The customizable weights can be adjusted to increase the resistance gradually, enhancing muscle memory development in sport-specific drills.
4. Build Explosive Power with KILOGEAR
Speed is a hallmark of elite athletes, but explosive power is what sets champions apart. Explosive power is the ability to apply the most force in the shortest amount of time. KILOGEAR athletes credit their increased explosive power to wearing our weighted tops and bottoms during plyometric exercises like box jumps or clapping push-ups.The ability to train with resistance while maintaining speed is crucial for building power. By incorporating KILOGEAR into strength and speed sessions, athletes can train one leg at a time or work on explosive movements like stadium stairs, enhancing their overall power.
5. Training in All Three Planes of Motion
Most athletes focus on linear training—forward and backward movements. However, elite athletes know the importance of training in all three planes of motion: sagittal (forward/backward), frontal (side-to-side), and transverse (rotational).KILOGEAR’s weighted gear is ideal for cross-planar training. Athletes can perform multi-planar workouts that challenge balance, strength, endurance, and coordination. Here’s a sample workout:
- Squat with a side crunch: 3 reps on each side.
- Push-ups with cross-body mountain climbers: 3 sets of 10.
- Lunges with a chop: 3 reps on each leg.
- Rotational high plank: 20 seconds.
- Squat jumping jacks: 20 seconds.
This type of training prepares the body for the varied demands of sports and real life.
6. All-Day Hypergravity Training with KILOGEAR
The world’s top athletes don’t just train in KILOGEAR—they live in it. All-day hypergravity training involves wearing resistance weights throughout the day, increasing metabolism, agility, and energy expenditure. Studies have shown that wearing weighted gear during daily activities leads to a decrease in waist circumference and waist-hip ratio, contributing to overall wellness. Whether you’re at work, running errands, or walking your dog, wearing KILOGEAR increases muscle activation and calorie burn, helping you sleep better at night.
- Start with Microloading: Begin with lighter MICRO weights and gradually increase resistance as your body adapts.
- Incorporate Multi-Planar Movements: Use KILOGEAR during exercises that involve all three planes of motion for comprehensive strength and balance training.
- All-Day Wear: Wear your KILOGEAR throughout the day, not just during workouts, to maximize calorie burn and muscle activation.
By following these tips, you can harness the same training secrets that elite athletes use to stay at the top of their game.
