RESISTANCE BANDS

Resistance bands are a versatile and portable piece of exercise equipment that can be used to target various muscle groups. Wilkys bands can come in different shapes, sizes, and resistance levels, and also can be used for a variety of exercises like squats, lunges, bicep curls, and more. Resistance bands are designed to mimic the use of machines, free weights, and bulky gym equipment, and can be used during bodyweight movements. There are multiple types of resistance bands, including loop bands, tube bands, power/assist bands, and resistance straps.

If you’re looking to purchase resistance bands, it’s important to know which style suits your workouts. Loop bands are made of either elastic or fabric and can be looped around your ankles or thighs to add resistance to many lower-body workouts. Tube bands are longer resistance bands that don’t loop; rather you can fasten handles or other accessories on either end and use them for upper-body workouts such as rows, bicep curls, and more.  Power/assist bands are sturdier and thicker loop bands that are often used for assisted pull-ups, but can also be used to add resistance to other exercises, like bicep curls or glute kickbacks. Resistance straps are typically used for stretching or for going deeper in yoga poses.
