What are resistance bands for?
Resistance Bands, also referred to as Hip circle bands, are excellent resistance added to leg workouts and even cardio. These bands are a must for anyone getting serious about fitness. Bands can help increase mobility, strengthen the hip flexors and glutes. They also are great to keep the knees turned out when doing squats and deadlifts. Many times they are used during warm up as well to activate the hip flexors and glutes.
Different Types of Bands
Rubber Hip Circles

Resistance Bands
Oh how you can really crush a workout with these! These bands are great because they have the added benefit of adding more than one band together, for a total of 100lbs. Another benefit of resistance bands is they can replace dumbells when you want to take your workout outside or on the go.
These thicker rubber resistance bands are actually harder to come by. These produce great resistance – from 40-80lbs, while also preventing rolling. These thicker bands will also generally last a longer than the lighter weight rubber bands.
Yall–this is cool. These adjustable fabric bands come with 3 bands, 2 fabric and a silicone band for your arms. Supermans will never be the same again! These bands also go up to a tension resistance of 240lbs. Nice.
