63 Resistance Band Exercises: How To Choose Resistance Band Guide

Our intention in creating this video is to show you how little equipment you require to train your whole body. We haven’t invented anything new. We have simply taken existing exercises and put resistance bands in place of the standard resistance system (cables, dumbbells and barbells).

The best way to use this video is to look at the exercise that is being done and then look at the band that is being used. This may give you an indication of which band may be appropriate for which exercises – given your particular starting point.

The width of the resistance band indicates the amount of resistance that particular band can provide - the wider the band, the more resistance. A more noticeable indicator of resistance I the color of the bands; however, colors are not uniform among manufactures while band widths seem to be somewhat consistent.

When beginning a band - loaded exercise, it is important to remember that the resistance provided by the band can also cause injury. Injury is most probable at the beginning of the exercise if the muscle you are training is fully stretched and you are attempting to create a contraction from this starting point.

Choosing the appropriate band for the exercise is essential and it is always better to select a band of lighter resistance in the case where the band will be used to act as the soul source of resistance or increase existing resistance levels (deadlift for example).

The exercises presented here are only the tip of the iceberg. Keep an eye out for more videos that will explore these exercises in depth.
