Xco Training is an effective way to build and tone muscle while strengthening the
surrounding connective tissue and stabilizing the joints.
Many sports injuries and complaints
related to muscles and joints are
actually problems with connective
tissue. Why is it so often overlooked?
Human motion and physical
performance depend on more than
muscle strength alone. Each individual muscle fiber is
surrounded by connective tissue, as is each group and
bundle of muscle fibers. Healthy connective tissue is
integral to optimal functioning of the locomotor
system, since physical movement in 3 dimensions
is facilitated by a corresponding 3-dimensional
network of connective
tissue and muscle fibers.
By incorporating all of the critical components of
human motion and physical performance, the
Xco
Trainer allows users to improve Stability, Agility and
Mobility while strengthening the entire 3-dimensional
structure of muscle and connective tissue.
Xco Training gives you endless options for your total-
body exercise routine. You can vary movement starting
position, direction, speed, force, rhythm, and frequency as well
as the complexity and duration of your routine for maximum
training results!
How Does It Work?
Xco Training produces results based on the principles of Reactive
Impact and 3-Dimensional Freedom of Movement:
Reactive Impact
As you move the Xco Trainer in many different directions, each movement creates a
delayed soft-impact as the granulate shifts inside the tube. This Reactive Impact or
overload occurs at the critical point in the movement – when it changes direction from
eccentric to concentric – producing maximum results.
3-Dimensional Freedom of Movement
Since natural movements are always 3-dimensional, training the body in 3-dimensional
patterns is essential.
Xco Training can be performed in a variety of positions and
directions, maximizing the benefit to the 3-dimensional structure of the muscle and
connective tissue.

Xco Training Benefits
Increased Strength of Muscle & Connective Tissue
• Reactive Impact produces mechanical overload which strengthens muscle fibers and
connective tissue, reducing risk of injury and improving performance.
• Strength gains are determined by the size and weight of the Xco, the force used and the
number of repetitions performed.
Increased Flexibility & Joint Stability
• Xco Training uses the full range of joint movement in all directions.
• Helps protect joint integrity by strengthening soft-tissue components.
• Synergistic coordination of muscles improves dynamic joint stability.
Enhanced Balance & Coordination
• 3-dimensional movements improve intra- and inter-muscular coordination.
• Rapid contraction cycles improve muscle recruitment efficiency.
• Trains the balance system because movement
of the loose granulate causes balance stress.
Improved Stamina
• Effective Xco Training raises heart rate by engaging large
muscle groups in dynamic, energetic movements.
• Maintaining continuous pace of Xco exercise sequence sustains
elevated heart rate.
• Improves endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
Xco Trainer Design
The sleek design of the Xco Trainer consists of an anodized aluminum tube filled with a
special granulate. The non-slip surface is comfortable to grip and most users can easily hold
the 2” (50mm) diameter
Xco with one hand. Users with small hands may need to use two
hands to securely grip the 2.75” (70mm) diameter Xco.
