Resistance bands are a simple, flexible way to build strength. They are easy to store, gentle on the joints and suitable for beginners and experienced exercisers alike.
Why use bands
- Joint friendly with smooth, steady resistance.
- Portable for workouts at home, outdoors or while travelling.
- Adjustable by changing your grip or band thickness.
Moves to start with
Try band rows, chest presses, squats with a band, glute bridges and lateral walks. Keep movements slow and controlled.
Check your bands regularly for wear and replace them if they look damaged.
Progress safely
Begin with a lighter band, focus on form and increase resistance only when an exercise feels comfortable.
