HOW TO CHOOSE THE RESISTANCE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU

To train your muscles effectively, you should get at least 2 bands since smaller muscles (sides of legs) require less resistance, while larger muscles (buttocks, front & back of 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:

2 BANDS 

Rehab:  extra-light & light

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

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

INDIVIDUAL BANDS

Extra-Light - rehab, some older adults 
Light
- inactive women 
Medium - most women, inactive men
Heavy - most men, strong women 
Extra-heavy - strong men 

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).

Approximate Pound Equivalent at 2x & 3x Resting Length
what this means

EXERCISE BAND Color 2x resting length 3x resting length
Fit-loop - extra-light red 6.0 lbs. 10 lbs.
Fit-loop - light orange 7.5 lbs. 11.5 lbs.
Fit-loop - medium yellow 10 lbs. 14 lbs.
Fit-loop - heavy green 16.5 lbs. 26 lbs.
Fit-loop - extra-heavy blue 20 lbs. 30 lbs.
