Because the resistance band is not restricted by the venue, it can be used for fitness exercises anytime and anywhere, and it is easy to carry, easy to use, and very effective. It has become one of the must-have items for fitness enthusiasts at home. But many people do not know how many pounds are appropriate when choosing an resistance band. How to choose an resistance band? The number of pounds of the resistance band should be selected according to their actual situation. For beginners, do not choose too heavy. Let's take a closer look at the selection of resistance bands.
1. How many pounds of resistance band is appropriate
The resistance band is divided into heavy resistance levels, and the resistance bands of different colors have different tension pounds. Generally speaking, the color is from light to dark, and the heavy resistance will become larger and larger, and it is divided into 8 heavy resistance levels. The pulling force from small to large is: brown, yellow, red, green, blue, black, silver, gold, and this classification can meet the needs of people with different needs. So how do you choose the right weight for you? Look at the resistance band specifications.
The resistance bands are divided into the following categories according to their specifications:
Children or rehabilitation use: 2000/1500×(150)×0.25mm yellow 5lbs (2.27Kg)
Women for weight loss and shaping purpose: 2000/1500×(150)×0.35mm green 18lbs (8.16K)
Strong female or male: 2000/1500×(150)×0.45mm red 36lbs (16.33K)
Strong male: 2000(150)×0.55mm purple 56lbs(25.4kg)
Professional Bodybuilder: 2000x(150)×0.65mm Gold 72lbs (32.66kg) 10+
For the choice of the resistance band, it must be based on your actual situation, and you must pay attention to safety in the process of exercising.
2. How to choose an resistance band
1. Price principle
Most products pay more attention to price, and resistance bands are no exception. It is difficult to talk about cost performance with resistance bands. The more expensive the better the quality, the longer the use time, and it is not easy to deform. Of course, it is best to choose according to a person's economic strength and consumption concept. Brands are not recommended here. Remember, the more expensive the better, the price between brands is the same, and there is not much difference.
2. The principle of resistance
Generally speaking, the resistance of ordinary resistance band manufacturers is determined in this way: the darker the color, the greater the resistance, and the resistance band can continue to increase the resistance by folding in half. Here, I recommend that women start with the lightest resistance, usually a yellow band, while men start with the second or third resistance. When the current resistance level is relatively relaxed, you can upgrade the resistance band. Usually, upgrading the resistance once every two months is enough, and if you change the resistance larger, you can still maintain the previous warm-up training or endurance.
3. Length principle
The resistance band can increase its resistance by folding it in half, so the longer the length, the greater the resistance that can be increased. However, for us, the most suitable length is the initial length of the resistance band = the height that the arm can reach. However, it is generally recommended to start with a lighter weight.
In general: resistance principle > price principle > length principle.
Seeing this, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of how to choose the right resistance band. After choosing the right resistance band, you can officially start testing functional training. Don't make excuses for your laziness.
