HOW TO CHOOSE THE RESISTANCE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

To train your muscles effectively, you should get 2-3 bands since smaller muscles (arms, shoulders) require less resistance, while larger muscles (chest, back, legs) require more resistance. Also, as you get stronger you will need more resistance. If you know the pounds you want a band to equal, use the Pound Equivalent Chart, otherwise use these General Guidelines:

3 BANDS 

Average to Active Women: light, medium, & heavy
Active to Strong Women: medium, heavy, & extra-heavy

Average to Active Men: medium, heavy, & extra-heavy
Active to Strong Men: heavy, extra-heavy, & ultra-heavy

2 BANDS 

Rehab, Older Adults:  light & medium

Inactive to Average Women: light & medium
Average to Active Women: medium & heavy
Active to Strong Women: heavy & extra-heavy

Inactive to Average Men: medium & heavy
Average to Active Men: heavy & extra-heavy
Active to Strong Men: extra-heavy & ultra-heavy

INDIVIDUAL BANDS

Light - rehab, some women 
Medium - average women, some men
Heavy - average men, active women 
Extra-heavy - active men, strong women 
Ultra-heavy - strong men, women bodybuilders

An exercise band provides resistance (pounds of force) like a dumbbell would. But there is a main difference: a10-lb dumbbell provides ten pounds of resistance throughout the range of motion of an exercise, while an exercise band provides varying resistance depending on how far it is stretched (the farther you stretch it, the more resistance it provides).

 If using multiple tubes together:
Use an exterior door rather than an interior door (they are built stronger) and test out door integrity prior to performing exercises. If hinges seem to give too much, or if you are unsure how strong your door is, use only 1 clip-tube at a time.
