Abstract:
1. A method of training for a sports activity, comprising the steps of: attaching a belt around a person's hips below the person's waist, the belt having a restraint device with a slide extending along a back side of the belt; attaching one end of an anchor system to the restraint device for sliding movement along the slide; tethering another end of the anchor system to an object; allowing the anchor system to slide along the restraint device upon rotation of a person's hips while training for the sports activity, whereby the person is conditioned to perform the activity while rotating the person's hips; and attaching a clip to a mid-point on the slide of said restraint device in a manner that provides a fixed stop at the mid-point of the slide for limiting an extent of movement of the anchor system along the slide and for providing a reference point for movement of the hips during the sports activity training.
