How do you explain the resistance of a training band?
The resistance of a training band, also called a resistance band or elastic band, corresponds to the force required to stretch it.
It is expressed in kg. For example, a band with a 15 kg resistance requires 15 kg of force to be stretched to 200% of its initial length.
What parts of the body can be worked with training bands?
Training bands allow you to work different muscle groups in the same way as with traditional weights:
- Bicep curls;
- Front or side raises;
- Pull overs;
- Squats;
- Rows;
- Chin-ups.
With them, you can progress and push your limits on each muscle group in a more progressive way than with dumbbells.

How to use a training band safely
Always make sure you check the anchoring point of the elastic band to prevent any risk of it coming loose during your workout (especially if you're using it as a support for your pull-ups).
If you notice any nicks or white marks on the band, avoid using it, as this could indicate a risk of breakage during exercise.
How to look after your training bands
Our bands are not designed to be used in a pool. This is because we haven't tested their resistance to chlorine.To preserve all their qualities, we also recommend that you avoid storing them in places exposed to wide variations in temperature or in direct sunlight.
Τέλος, για να τα διατηρήσετε σε καλή κατάσταση για πολύ καιρό, μην τα χρησιμοποιείτε μαζί με τραχιά ή αιχμηρά αντικείμενα.
