Resistance Band

85 exercises

Resistance bands are elastic loops or tubes that get harder to stretch the further you pull them. Cheap, light and portable, they can mimic cable exercises, add resistance to bodyweight moves or assist you in pull-ups.

Benefits

  • Extremely affordable and fits in a pocket — perfect for home and travel.
  • Resistance rises as the band stretches, matching your strength curve in many moves.
  • Great for warm-ups, shoulder health, glute activation and rehab.
Beginner advice

Get a set of 3–5 loop bands from light to heavy plus a few mini bands for glute work; tube bands with handles and a door anchor are great for cable-style presses and rows. Most beginners — men and women alike — start with the light to medium bands and move up once the reps get easy.

Safety

Inspect bands for nicks or tears before each use, anchor them securely, and never let a stretched band point toward your face.
