Why use resistance bands?
Keep your workouts interesting and enjoy a whole range of new options with these resistance bands! The variable resistance creates constant tension to stimulate your muscles differently than weights while reducing joint strain. Get an effective workout as you improve your stability and coordination. Plus, they're super practical: take your gym with you anywhere!
What does the resistance level mean for resistance bands?
The resistance level for a resistance band corresponds to the weight in kilograms required to stretch it. For example, a 25 kg resistance band requires 25 kg of weight to double its length. This can help you choose the right intensity for your goals: start with a lower resistance level and build up gradually. Pro tip: Vary how far you stretch the band to change the level of difficulty!

How to use your resistance bands safely
Safety always comes first! Before every workout, take a look at your resistance bands: look for any cracks, white areas or visible wear. A damaged resistance band can break suddenly during an exercise and cause injury. You can also run your hands along the entire length to feel for any invisible weak points. For assisted pull-ups, always check that the band is securely hung. If it comes loose during your exercises, you'll fall!
