This is your resistance training lockdown solution. Five bands, ranging from 10lbs to 50lbs of tension, can be combined to create any amount of tension up to 150lbs: enough for even the most serious fitness enthusiast. The bands are portable and contain a door anchor and leg straps.
With the door anchor, you can effectively replicate a cable machine you might find at the gym, allowing you to replicate lateral pull-downs, bicep curl, arm extensions, ear flys and loads more exercises. The ankle straps allow you to extend your legs under tension, so you can train your calves, glutes and quads with kickbacks or leg extensions.
Why use resistance bands? A study published in the journal SAGE Open Medicine, studied the effects of free weights, like the best adjustable dumbbells, versus elastic resistance bands. The study found using elastic devices to train provided "similar strength gains when compared to resistance training performed from conventional devices.
"These findings allow coaches, physiotherapists, and even patients to opt to use devices with low costs, ease of handling, and which can be used in different places for maintenance and gain in muscular strength."
