Elite Athletes
Athletes regularly use resistance bands for building explosive power, speed and quickness in their legs. Resistance band training activates fast-twitch muscle fibers in the hamstrings, quads, glutes and core muscles, increasing muscle response, enabling you to explode off the line faster than your opponent.

Active People
For active exercisers or runners, resistance bands are a great way to stretch and warm up muscles prior to exercise, reducing the risk of injury. They can also be used to stretch muscles after a strenuous workout, helping them stay limber. In addition to these benefits, resistance bands can create a challenging, low-impact workout for the entire body or for a specific area, enabling you to boost stamina and strength.

Beginners
An excellent first step on the journey to fitness, resistance bands remove many of the barriers that prevent people from exercising (cost of equipment or gym membership, self-consciousness, time constraints, etc.). A complete resistance bands set can be purchased for less than the cost of a single dumbbell and provides a wider variety of functional exercises than free weights, allowing you to create your own gym in the privacy of your home.

Seniors
If you’re 55 or older, regular use of resistance bands can help you become stronger, gain flexibility, prevent bone loss, and lessen arthritis pain. Over time these benefits can help make everyday tasks easier. Exercise bands are also a low-impact alternative that is easier on joints than free weights, reducing the risk of injury.
