One band=big results. Resistance bands are the quiet secret to better workouts. Not only do they take up virtually zero room – meaning they're perfect for home workouts and to take away travelling – but they also load up the muscles for extra burn when trying to build strength.
Material: Some resistance bands come in a cotton material that makes them less likely to slip and much tougher to pull, adding extra resistance. Others are latex or elastic based which make them slightly lighter. The best material depends on how you want to use them and the quality of design, and it's something to think about when testing. There are typically two types of resistance bands: long loop resistance bands and mini loop resistance bands.
