MICROLOAD™ SCIENCE

Our patented MicroLoad™ science uses small amounts of distributed weight, to deliver faster results, with minimal impact to your natural movement or mechanics.

WALKING

By adding a balanced load to your body, you increase the challenge to your muscles and skeletal system. This improves cardiovascular fitness, helps increase bone density, enhances balance and burns more calories.
