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 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, 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

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).
