Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Exercise Bands with Instruction Guide and Carry Bag, Set of 5

Made from natural rubber, this Fit Simplify set is built as heavy duty loop bands with a flat, closed design. Colour is assorted, and because the material is natural latex rubber, slight variation in shade between bands is normal. Each band is checked before shipping. Not suitable for anyone sensitive to latex.

The set covers five resistance levels, colour coded so the step up from extra light through light, medium, heavy and extra heavy is easy to identify mid session. They suit strength training, general exercise and stretching, and work alongside most established fitness routines. An illustrated booklet is included, with a range of movements for the arms, legs, back, shoulders, hips, ankles and midsection.

• Five bands, each measuring 12 inches by 2 inches
• Total set weight of 0.1 kilograms
• Carry bag included for storage and travel

When starting out, anchor the band under one foot or both feet depending on the movement, and keep tension consistent through the full range of motion rather than letting it snap back. The 12 inch loop size works well for lower body exercises where the band sits around the thighs or ankles, and for upper body movements where it wraps around the wrists or is held at shoulder width. Thinner, lighter bands are generally better for mobility and warm-up work, while the heavier options in the set are more useful for adding resistance to squats, lateral walks or glute work once the lighter bands feel too easy.

When comparing sets of this kind, check that the bands are a continuous loop with no seam or join point, as joined bands tend to fail at the connection over time. Flat bands like these sit more steadily on the skin than tube-style bands and are less likely to roll or shift during movement. Between sessions, keep them away from direct sunlight and sharp edges, and store them in the included bag rather than stretched around an object, which can cause the rubber to deform.
