The NT Loop was specifically designed to enhance workout quality, not reduce it. While it features tons of uses and creative options, it’s important to always train in a safe and beneficial manner. There are 4 key mistakes that many people make when training with their NT Loop. Below you’ll not only learn how to avoid these mistakes, but what to do instead.
Mistake #1 – Incorrect Door Anchoring
Sometimes it can be confusing using the NT Loop’s built-in door anchor. Make sure to insert the door anchor in the hinge side of the door and check for security before using.
Mistake #2 – Getting In and Out Of The Loop Wrong
The NT Loop is designed to be 10 inches longer that a superband to make it easier to get in and out of for exercises. Use this trick to get in and out of the Loop safely and quickly.
Mistake #3 – Supporting Your Entire Bodyweight On The Loop
The NT Loop is not a suspension trainer and is not designed to support an individual’s full bodyweight. Always anchor your Loop to a stable object and use it as intended.
Mistake # 4 – Thinking the NT Loop Is Too Long
At first glance, a smaller person may think the NT Loop is too long for some exercises, but this is not the case. Instead, an exerciser can adjust the length and tension of the Loop to better perform exercises at the necessary resistance level and even utilize drop sets or other techniques.
