You can utilize the Xvest in your pre-season, in-season and out-of-season conditioning programs.  Baseball is a long season and players need to stay in top condition.  It can also be used for position specific exercises.  Pitchers can use it in their pitching motion, infielders can use it during fielding exercises and players can use it in batting practice, because the Xvest does not restrict range of motion.  In the batting stance, the Xvest will help you develop a quicker first movement from a loaded static position, with the bat ready, through swinging forward, to contact with the ball.  In conjunction with the weighted vest, you can also incorporate resistance bands, attaching to the D-rings found on the front and the back of the Xvest, to develop upper body strength and speed.

It can also be used for a vast numbers of drills, such as running the bleachers, lunges, step jumps, and lateral explosion drills, all of which increase the strength and condition of the lower extremities.  While increasing your strength and conditioning, you are also working on lung capacity, because of dynamic respiratory resistance that the vest creates.  Also, at the same time, you are working on your core body strength through your abdominals and obliques.
