How to choose resistance bands
Understand band types, resistance and safe use.
Choose a style
Loop bands suit many lower-body movements; long bands can support pulling exercises and assisted movements; handled tubes are another option.
Compare resistance realistically
Color coding is not standardized across brands. Check stated resistance ranges and how those ranges are measured.
Inspect before use
Look for tears, cracks and damaged attachment points. Follow manufacturer guidance for anchoring and replacement.
Plan progression
A set of different resistances can be more versatile than a single very heavy band.
Bottom line
Start with a band you can control through the full movement rather than chasing the highest resistance label.
