How to build strength with a resistance band
Build strength using a resistance band! Swap out your dumbbells and kettlebells for a different way to train: the resistance increases gradually the more you stretch it, which stimulates your muscles more progressively. Your joints will thank you! It's light and compact so it'll easily fit in your bag. Work out wherever you want and get stronger at your own pace.
What the 15 kg resistance level means
A 15 kg resistance band requires 15 kg to stretch it to twice its initial length. This medium resistance level is perfect for varying your workouts! The more you stretch the band, the greater the resistance and the harder your muscles will work. This level lets you easily adapt the difficulty of your exercises to get stronger at your own pace.
How to use the 15 kg resistance band for a full-body workout
This resistance band provides the perfect level of resistance for toning! Biceps, shoulders, back, legs: you can work all your muscle groups. Do curls, pulls, squats, jumping jacks and more - it's perfect for varying your fitness and cross training workouts. You'll gradually build strength without overloading your body.
How to work out safely
Check your resistance band before every workout for any nicks or white marks. If you see this type of damage, don't use the band as it could break. You should also check that your anchoring point is secure, especially when doing intense exercises such as pull-ups.
