Why use this Pilates resistance band?
In Pilates, the resistance band adds resistance to your movements and provides support during exercises that engage your core muscles. Place it under your feet or hands, depending on the exercise, to target your muscles precisely. Made from FSC-certified natural rubber, it stretches up to 400% without losing its properties, stays in place even when you sweat, and holds up session after session.
What does a resistance of 2 kg actually mean?
The resistance of a Pilates band corresponds to the weight you need to "lift" to stretch the band. That's 2 kg. The higher the resistance, the more effort you have to exert, and the more you tone your body.
What can you do with a 2 kg Pilates resistance band?
With this 2 kg light-resistance band, target muscles such as your arms and gently improve your flexibility. Its light resistance makes it ideal for progressive training, precision exercises and refining your technique, as well as for rehabilitation. It’s also ideal for stretching and improving flexibility, allowing you to work on your technique while being gentle on your joints.
What are the instructions for using your resistance band?
To get the most out of your resistance band, use two different levels of resistance: a light-resistance one for the warm-up, a stronger one for intensive training. If you work out wearing shoes, opt for fabric resistance bands to protect your natural rubber bands.
What are the dimensions of this band?
This Pilates resistance band measures 190 mm in length and 75 mm in width, offering a compact and manoeuvrable design for a secure grip.
Caring for your Pilates resistance band
To keep your band in good condition for longer:
- Gently clean it with a damp cloth and lukewarm water after each use.
- Apply a little talcum powder from time to time to preserve its properties.
- Store it in a cool, dark place, ideally at a temperature below 30 °C.
- Avoid leaving it in your car: temperature fluctuations could damage it.
