The resistance band is a kind of portable small-sized training equipment, which has a wide range of applications. The effect of using the resistance band in resistance training is very obvious, we should choose the right resistance band according to our body strength and training position. The market will be divided into different types of stopband, its specifications are not the same, here we have a general understanding.
The first kind: Yoga Resistance Band
It is made of natural latex (latex products can not be directly in the sun, will oxidize), easy to roll edge, and was bounced quite painful. It’s going to be different lengths, one meter, two meters, three meters, 10 pounds, 15 pounds, 20 pounds, 25 pounds, and so on, and it’s going to vary from seller to seller, so we’re just going to go with what we choose. I usually use it for more basic exercises, but when I started I chose 10 lbs. 1M (the color has nothing to do with the pounds).
The second: Mini Loop Band
For the position: buttocks, legs
Easy to carry, flexible training, suitable for a variety of combinations of movements. Not easy to roll sliding, wide belt, slightly higher pounds, the hip training effect is good, suitable for“Veteran”.
1:10 pounds, suitable for the rehabilitation of people with less resistance, no basis for fitness
2:15 pounds, suitable for basic training and strength of the general population, arms training can be used
3:20 pounds, suitable for people with a specific foundation and strength level, calf training can be used
4:30 pounds, suitable for sports ability and physical fitness of the better crowd, suitable for squat thighs, buttocks
5:50 pounds, suitable for the high level of strength training experienced crowd, resistance is greater.
Tip: choose a lighter weight for upper body training, heavier weight for lower body training, also used for men’s strength training, also used for women’s hip training, and widely used in the field of rehabilitation training.
We suggest that you can buy a whole set of the mini band, and experience the road to progress, from easy to difficult, progressive training.
Third: Pull-Up Band
The pull-up band is a large closed-loop band that acts like a rubber band. Known for helping with pull-ups, it can also be used in various exercises.
For features:
1: Warm Up and move your joints
2: because better grasp can be used to do training for all parts
3: it can be used to do stretching and relaxation, length and resistance can be freely adjusted, test grip strength, and is also a multi-purpose function.
4:20-35 pounds: normal or beginner training.
65 pounds: entry-level training
85 pounds: advanced training
95 pounds: advanced training
115 pounds: professional-level training
150 pounds: master training
In the beginning, we should try to choose the ones with lower pounds. Don’t Ask Me How I know. After all, it was a shame to struggle with your first big pound and almost strain yourself.
The fourth kind: scale elastic band
As the name suggests, it is with a split, 1-8 grid segmented design that, can be more clear about our training purposes.
Function: helps muscles and bones to stretch and lengthen
The soft nylon material is better than the resistance belt to grasp, suitable for the lower waist, split, tendons, and so on as an auxiliary.
Resistance band, small size, multi-purpose, easy to carry, daily use of 10-20 minutes of strength and flexibility training, is indeed good.
