Resistance Bands

Different types of resistance bands

There are many different types of resistance bands on the market today. We will explain the types we offer on this website and when to buy what type.

Power bands (also called loop bands)

These are actually gigantic rubber bands. A continuous flat loop that can be used for a variety of purposes. Use them for bodyweight assistance such as pull ups, bodyweight resistance such as push ups, warm ups or even physiotherapy. You can also attach them to a barbell or pull-up bar for a variety of exercises. Actually, these versatile exercise bands can be used for every aspect of strength training and mobility work!

Resistance tube bands with handles

These resistance tube bands are designed to simulate gym cable machines or dumbbell exercises. You can easily attach them to a door anchor or pole to target your upper and lower body. With these tube resistance bands, you can effectively train all major muscle groups, making them ideal for home workouts or outdoor training sessions when you need equipment that is easy to pack and travel with.

Mini resistance bands

Mini resistance bands are similar to power bands, but much shorter and wider. They are primarily used to increase strength and stability in your lower body, activate your core, and assist in rehabilitation. They are also ideal for targeting smaller stabilizer muscles in your hips and shoulders.

Booty bands

The name says it all, bands designed specifically to shape and strengthen your glutes! Our booty band sets are crafted with comfortable, non-slip textile. Often searched for as cloth resistance bands or fabric loop bands, they prevent pinching, rolling, or slipping during intense leg days, letting you target your buttocks and thighs in comfort.

Why add exercise bands to your routine?

Whether you are a beginner looking for a safe way to start strength training or an advanced athlete needing to break through a plateau, resistance bands offer unique training benefits:

• Constant tension: Unlike free weights, which rely on gravity, resistance bands maintain tension throughout the entire range of motion.
• Joint-friendly strength: Bands provide progressive resistance (the further you stretch them, the harder it gets), placing less peak stress on your joints.
• Versatile progressive overload: Easily adjust exercise difficulty by switching to a thicker band, combining multiple bands, or adjusting your stance.

Choosing the right resistance band level

Resistance bands are typically color-coded to indicate their level of resistance, ranging from light to extra-heavy:

Resistance Level	Best Used For
Light	Warm-ups, shoulder mobility, physiotherapy, and rehab
Medium	Biceps, triceps, shoulder presses, and general tone
Heavy	Larger muscle groups like chest, lats, squats, and glute bridges
Extra Heavy	Assisted pull-ups, heavy deadlifts, and powerlifting support

Resistance bands workout strategies

You can use resistance bands in various ways to take your resistance bands workout to the next level:

1. Use the resistance bands as a full strength training session by choosing 3-5 resistance band exercises, performing them for up to 25 reps and repeating this for two to five rounds. The number of repetitions and rounds depends on your own fitness level and the resistance of the band.
2. Use resistance bands as a warm-up to activate a specific muscle group. For example when you find it hard to feel a certain muscle group. With the resistance bands you will master this faster.
3. Use them as burnout sets at the end of your regular weightlifting routine to completely exhaust the target muscle.

Portable exercise bands

Good fitness equipment is rarely light or portable. Big machines and heavy weights aren't very travel-friendly, and if you're struggling with space constraints in your house, you may not have enough room to accommodate everything you need. Fortunately, there are many truly portable exercise equipment that you can use for a killer workout. Our portable exercise bands for example can provide quite a challenge, and none of them are too bulky or heavy to stuff into a bag!
