Pilates Resistance Band - Medium (6 lb / 3 kg)

We've taken into account your feedback and what we've observed during group classes, which has led to us extending the length of this band. It now measures 1.90 m: 20 cm longer than before. It's still 7.6 cm wide and 0.55 mm thick. So, a big thank you for your help! :)

It has been developed in collaboration with qualified coaches and contains a dozen or so exercises that you can do with your resistance band.

Adding a resistance band to your workout lets you do resistance work while protecting your joints by not lifting heavy weights. You'll notice that the resistance increases progressively during your exercises: the harder you pull, the higher the resistance becomes. You can also vary the intensity of your exercises by adjusting the length of the band and changing your range of movement. The options are virtually endless with an elastic band!

We recommend warming up with a resistance band offering light or medium resistance. For the rest of your workout, use a band whose resistance level is just above the level you used for the warm-up (medium or high). This will guarantee a quality workout! And to help you get your positioning right, we've drawn a white line in the centre of the band.

To prevent injury, it's important to start slowly. We recommend two resistance levels: one for warming up and one for your main workout. Always remember that rubber is fragile. You will increase their longevity by not stretching them beyond twice their length.  If you work out wearing shoes or want your product to last longer, we recommend using a textile resistance band.

To extend the life of your product, we recommend: - Gently cleaning it with warm water and a damp cloth - Sprinkling some talcum powder on it from time to time - Storing it out of direct light and away from heat sources, ideally at temperatures below 30°C
