Resistance bands
Once you've discovered these practical fitness aids, there's no turning back (unless your resistance band pulls you back). The versatile, colourful training bands enable a varied workout with countless exercises. They come in a variety of designs and, in addition to the straight version, are also available as self-contained tubes or loops. Resistance bands support you during exercises, give you additional resistance during your workout and help you stretch. Tubes or resistance loops are your ideal training tool at home, in the gym or on the go! They make your workout more intense and are also easy to transport and super light.
Give your muscles a whole new stimulus with resistance bands from Thera-Band®, Blackroll® and Flexvit.
How do resistance bands differ?
A resistance band allows you to build muscles without heavy weights and is easy on the joints. Resistance bands come in different shapes, materials, strengths and lengths.
The most common models include loops, resistance bands with two ends or fitness bands with two handles. If you work through tests and comparisons in search of the best resistance band before making a purchase, you will find bands and loops with different
- Colours
- Resistances
- Widths
- Lengths
- Materials
At K-Active, we only offer top quality products that we have tested ourselves, so you don't have to sift through paid comparisons and tests!
Resistance bands with two ends
The classic Theraband made of latex or latex-free rubber is probably the best known of the true all-rounders. Fitness bands with two ends are suitable for increasing mobility and flexibility as well as for building strength. Thanks to them, you can easily complete a full body workout without additional weights or fitness equipment. Preferably use a stronger resistance band.
For stretching exercises, models with less resistance are recommended. Depending on the height at which you grip your fitness band, you can individually adjust the length of the band and thus also the resistance. The band can also be easily knotted into a loop.
Resistance loops/tubes
The closed resistance bands are available at K-Active from the brands Blackroll® and Flexvit in different sizes and strengths. Due to their loop, the loops / tubes have a specific shape and length as well as a fixed resistance. They are particularly suitable for leg and butt exercises, but also for training the upper body muscles. Long resistance bands in loop form are also the perfect helpers for pull-ups.
Which muscles can be trained and stretched with resistance bands?
Have we already mentioned that a set of resistance bands can be used for an effective whole-body workout? In fact, this is quite possible, so it is worth buying not only a single resistance band, but also a suitable set. In principle, bands and tubes can be used to work every muscle in the body. The flexibility and stretchability of the bands create a different resistance at each stretching point, which means that the body constantly has to compensate for the tension, which on the one hand promotes stability and on the other hand better controls movement chains and activates small holding muscles. Different strength bands and loops also allow for precise adjustment to one's own training condition, which is another reason why buying your own set is a good idea.
