John Hatcher Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I'm truly loving my Exo! My spotter is loving it even more if that's possible! :) Has anyone added a little padding to the hip pads? I'm noticing my hip bones are getting very tender after a long day and I have them pretty centered on the pads. I have a 38 inch waist. Thx!

Premium Members chris fawcett Posted April 18, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hey John, Glad you're loving it! Maybe your pad problem is due to your keeping your pelvis level as you walk. That's an old habit I struggle to get out of, but it causes the vest to rub as it's trying to pivot with your movement. Let me know if that's the case, if not, we'll sort something out for you pad wise. Keep in touch. All the best, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hatcher Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Ahh could be! I'll try to stay in tuned to the hips to see if that's what's going on and keep you posted! :) Thanks Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members chris fawcett Posted April 18, 2015 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 John, Here's a couple of exercises. Stand with the rig in front of you, feet 2' apart, then shift your weight from one leg to the other moving side to side keeping your body erect and your knees locked. Feel how your pelvis moves, and the vest with it, then take a few steps allowing the same movement to happen naturally. Also try taking a few steps deliberately swaying your pelvis like a catwalk model just to stretch out the muscles that are usually in tension, then continue walking normally, just allowing your pelvis to move normally. Your gluteus medius and your abdominal muscles should be relaxed. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluteus_medius_muscle Let us know how it goes!
