lying hip abduction (one resistance band attached to both ankles). For
other exercises, such as the barbell triceps extension, which band(s) you
choose will depend on your height and/or your desired exercise intensity.
EXERCISE OPTIONS
Q: Can I do triceps dips with the push-up handles?
A: The push-up handles are designed specifically to provide multiple push-
up configurations that work your chest, shoulders, and arms. Depending on
your height, you may also be able to use them to do dips. However, because
the handles are designed for push-ups, and are thus low to the ground, they
won’t provide the full range of motion that triceps dips require.

A: Yes, you can perform hundreds of strength-training exercises, targeting
every major muscle group, with your InfinityBox Plus. The exercises shown

EXERCISE TROUBLESHOOTING
Q: The resistance bands are different lengths on either side of the base,
what did I do wrong?
A: Make sure you’re using the same color resistance band on both sides
of the base (the blue bands are shorter and the red bands are longer).
Then, make sure you attach the resistance bands to the pegs in the same
numbered position on the bottom of the training base. See
Q: The resistance bands are too long/short for the exercise I’m trying to
perform.
A: If you are trying to do standing exercises, such as shoulder press or
upright row, you should use the longer red resistance bands. You will also
want to set up the resistance bands using one of the
, see page 17. These variations secure the
resistance bands to the bottom of the platform in ways that leave more of
the band length available.
If you are doing sitting or lying exercises, such as side-lying hip abduction
or “mermaid” sit-up, you should use the shorter blue resistance bands.
You will also want to set up the resistance bands using one of the
RESISTANCE BAND SETUP VARIATIONS
, see page 18. These variations
secure the resistance bands to the bottom of the platform in ways that
shorten the available length of the band.

Q: How do I increase the difficulty of the exercises listed in this manual?
A: Beginners and advanced users alike can easily increase the difficulty
of the exercises performed. Start with the exercises listed as Easy; then
move on to Medium and Hard as you master those. You can also increase
the number of repetitions performed. See
on page 26 for more ideas for making
