Great for stretching

Ever experienced back or neck pain? Resistance bands can be used to provide upper body pain relief through some powerful stretching moves. With the help of rubber bands, you’ll be able to gently elongate your limbs and release any muscular tension.

Add assistance, not just resistance

For example, for those wanting to get better at pull-ups, simply attach the resistance band to the bar and either under your knee or foot to work your way up to an unassisted version. As you perform the pull-up with the band, your weight is supported by the band, making the exercise more accessible.

Great for injury recovery

Resistance bands have been the staple for those in rehabilitation from a sports or muscle-related injury. This is because resistance bands don’t apply pressure in the way that weights do, keeping your joints—and everything else—safe.

Tone and strengthen

As resistance bands stretch, they create increased tension in your muscles and cause them to contract. The more you stretch the band, the more intense the resistance gets, and the harder the exercise becomes.
