Exercise Bands to Have with You Wherever You Go
Elastic rubber “resistance bands” are used to heal and build strength in the whole body. Michael and Johannes, exercise equipment innovators from southern Germany, explain how physical therapists facilitate recovery, using the bands to stabilize and regenerate injured areas of the body. Professional athletes engage the bands for stretching before and after rigorous workouts. Stretching and strengthening is accomplished by pulling the band with natural, joint-friendly movement. The bands gently give and provide a counter-pull that challenges the muscles and makes them stronger; training your motor skills develops balance. Michael and Johannes offer a description of the Lateral Lift, Lat Pull, Rowing, Leg Extension, Triceps Stretcher, Bicep Curl, and Squat (https://www.pullup-dip.com/us/exercise-bands).

Resistance bands are light and easy to take with you anywhere. Being versatile, they can be wrapped around a doorknob or a tree to provide resistance. Purchased as a variety set, each band’s thickness, width, and length is suitable for different exercises. Light-weight bands are recommended for beginning users. Typically, the bands are between one and two-and-a-half meters in length. FeetUp produces all-natural rubber resistance bands that are durable, long-lasting, and recyclable. Their bands come in two resistance levels: yellow (medium) and green (heavy). In contrast, eco-friendly Pagurou’s tubular handmade bandlevels is made with recycled Schwalbe bicycle tyre rubber and inner tubes.
