In contrast, our resistance band set includes large and robust carabiners that securely attach to the rings on our bands, ensuring maximum safety. This is important because good mobility isn’t just about how long your range of motion is but how strong you are at the end of that ROM.

Adding equipment to the workout is one way to ramp up the intensity and add new and creative movements. Because bands apply tension to your muscle throughout an exercise, you don’t need as much weight as using dumbbells or kettlebells. The weight increases as you move from the weak range (near the chest) to the strong range (near full extension). In 9 months, I increased lung capacity, dropped 9 pounds of body fat, and added over 22 pounds of muscle. Our resistance band bar is designed to flawlessly replicate classic weightlifting exercises such as bench press, deadlift, squat, and overhead press.

For a comprehensive set of resistance bands that will take you through a wide range of workouts, Takemirth’s has pretty much everything you need to get started and more. It features two, 30-inch Power Cords and attached foot straps, plus downloadable exercise workouts that guide you through essential Pilates bar movements with proper technique and form. Because you’re fatigued from the initial work you put in on the harder move, the easier move feels, well, harder.

Not only does this system provide enhanced strength, but it also offers the convenience of easily fastening the bands to the bar or handles. We understand the importance of providing an accessory that can withstand high resistance while offering the convenience of detachability for portability reasons. Particularly suited to upper-body work, these bands can be incorporated into a wide range of exercises, meaning they’re far more multi-purpose and useful than other, more limited types of fitness equipment. The bar also comes with a handy workout e-book and video to teach you proper form and movement patterns. Flat resistance bands, on the other hand, come sans handles, and finish a complete loop like a giant elastic band.Folks who like to purchase their bands in pairs may not like that these bands are only sold in singles — even in the sets. Whether you’re warming up your shoulders, engaging your glutes, or performing accessory exercises, they pack a punch in a compact vessel. You can complete a huge assortment of exercises with this set, making it a perfect portable gym for small spaces, offices, or when you're on the move. You can use them to do accommodating resistance training, help with stretching, or perform prehab/rehab.
