This compact Door Attachment (6" x 1" nylon webbing) consists of a safety stop and loop. The safety stop inserts through the hinged side or top of a door, then the Fit-Tube handle is placed through the loop. This creates a secure anchor for exercising with the Fit-Tube.  back

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RESISTANCE THAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU
if you have prior experience with exercise bands

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
NOTE: Very strong men should use Clip-Tubes since multiple tubes can be used at a time

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
NOTE: Very strong men should use Clip-Tubes since multiple tubes can be used at a time

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

If you have trained with exercise bands before, please be aware that there is no standardization of resistance levels: color coding of resistances, along with what is considered a “medium” band varies by manufacturer. Additionally, a band used in class will have lost some of its resistance over time, so a new band will seem stronger. We recommend you use the Pound Equivalent Chart to accurately determine resistance levels best suited to your needs. 

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 heavier resistance is required, use 48" clip-tubes
