Weight training band dimensions and resistance
- This band has a resistance of 5 kg.

- It is 1.04 m long.
- The band width/height is 6 mm.
Safely using an elastic band
To safely use your band, start by always checking that it is in good condition before starting your sets.
If you notice a crack or white area, do not use it, since it could break during your workout.
Choosing a band that suits your activity
Each colour corresponds to a level of resistance:
Blue:5 kg // Green: 15 kg // Yellow: 25 kg // Orange: 35 kg // Red: 45 kg // Black: 60 kg
Are you just starting weight training? Choose a band with light resistance, such as 5 kg, and then gradually increase.
On the other hand, are you trying to lighten your load? The greater the resistance, the more the band will help you for pull-ups or body weight exercises.

Our tips for use and storage of weight training bands
Our bands are not designed to be used in a pool: we do not test their chlorine resistance.
Do not store them where they may be subject to large temperature variations or direct sunlight.
Finally, to keep them in good shape for a long time, do not use them with abrasive or sharp objects.
