From daily walks to sports, strong legs are essential to keep you active throughout your life. Adding resistance bands can make your lower-body workouts more efficient.

Unlike free weights (like dumbbells), resistance bands provide variable resistance, which means that the resistance level changes at different phases of an exercise.

 The more you stretch the band, the more tension you’ll encounter and the harder your muscles will have to work, which enables you to strengthen the leg muscles through their full range of motion.

Limitations

There are some limitations to using resistance bands for your exercises. These may include:

• It is difficult to accurately measure the amount of resistance you are using while exercising.
• The resistance bands may easily break or become worn.
• Injury may result if you do not use your TheraBand properly.

How Much Resistance Is Your Theraband Providing?

The TheraBand Loop system provides different levels of resistance to allow you to progress as you gain strength. Least to most resistance is as follows: tan, yellow, red, green, blue, black, silver, and gold
