stand on the middle of your rope with both feet & hold the ends of the rope (closest to the handle) against your body. 

if you're a beginner, the rope (closest to the handle) should come up to your armpit / chest. 
if you're more intermediate or advanced, the rope (closest to the handle) should come up to your hip / belly button.  

fyi, rope length does not include the handles. all sweatropes are adjustable.

step 1: take the 5" handle & thread the cord through it. then take one washer & thread on the cord.tie a simple knot to hold the washer & handle on. 

step 2: after determining the pattern of colours you would like, start to thread the beads on. make sure you leave room to put the second handle on. leave about 6 inches at the end to slip on the second handle. 

step 3: give it a test by jumping.the rope should be about 10 - 12" over your head while jumping with proper form. after determining that the rope is the correct length, make your final cut.

step 1: untie your knot from one end and remove both the handle and washer.

step 2: once you've determined how much shorter you want your sweatrope to be (e.g. 3 inches), remove the number of beads you need. fyi, each bead is 1 inch.

step 3: thread the handle and washer back on. ensure that there is approximately 6 inches between the last bead and the handle before securing with a knot.

step 1: move the handle down your sweatrope & locate the snap lock.

step 2: pull the snap lock apart to unlock it.

step 3: move the snap lock up or down (depending on how you want to adjust your sweatrope) and once you've decided, refasten the snap lock!

to optimise and ensure the lifespan of your sweatrope, ensure that you practice the following:

the sweatropes are not intended for use on hard flooring such as wood/concrete/tiled/decked surfaces. to ensure the lifespan of your sweatropes, we strongly recommend training on rubber mats (please be mindful of mat grip) or gym flooring if possible. 

to ensure cleanliness, wipe down after use and hang on a door frame or anywhere similar when not in use. 

we strongly advise to not expose your sweatropes to extreme heat or cold temperatures.

ensure that you keep sweatropes and / or packaging away from small children and babies.

you have many options or ways to use them. depending on your goal or purpose you may use it to activate muscle groups, incorporate in your warm up or workout blocks, to level up any movements at home or in the gym.

to optimise and ensure the lifespan of your sweatband, ensure that you practice the following:

you are encouraged to air dry your sweatbands immediately after use for both cleanliness and longevity of your band. 

while you do not need to wash your sweatband after each use, you are encouraged to either wipe down with a wet tissue or wet towel occasionally.

every few months you should wash your sweatband and you may do so by hand washing under running water with a moderate amount of soap. if you are using sanitiser, it is advised to use water based sanitiser as the rubber may react with strong and harsh alcohol sanitisers.

wring it dry by gently squeezing the water out and hang it to be air dried. you may place it under the sun but it is advised to avoid direct sunlight and heat for an extended period.
