THERABAND Resistance Band Advanced Kit
Upper and Lower Body Resistance Training
The THERABAND Resistance Band Advanced Kit offers an increased level of rehabilitation and athletic strengthening and conditioning. These bands work to tone and rehab major muscle groups, and can be used for strength training, stretching, and increased range of motion for the upper and lower body. This kit is easy to use, versatile, and includes basic exercise instructions. Each kit includes one Blue and one Black resistance band that both measure 5' in length.
Alternative to Dumbbells and Free Weights
An alternative to dumbbells and free weights that you’ve been missing out on – THERABAND Resistance Bands! Take with you and use anywhere and at anytime. The lightweight, portable design is excellent for upper and lower body use when you’re at home, traveling, or working out in the gym. Add to your current yoga, pilates, strengthening, toning, or stretching regimen for an intensified workout.
Intermediate to Advanced Levels of Resistance
The blue and black bands are intermediate to advanced band options that provide a 25% increase in pull force. Begin with the blue band and progress to black as your exercises get easier and your strength increases. The blue band equals 5.8 pounds in weight, and the black bands equals 7.3 pounds in weight.

Elastic resistance force and torque
Elastic resistance is a unique type of resistance training compared to other traditional forms, such as isotonic or isokinetic resistances. The resistance provided by elastic bands or tubing is based on the amount that the band or tubing is stretched. This resistance can be measured in pounds/kilograms of force depending on the percentage the band or tubing is stretched from its resting length; this is known as force-elongation.
Regardless of how long the band or tubing is before it’s stretched, the force produced at its stretched length depends on the percent elongation. For example, an initial 2-foot (60 cm) length of green band that is stretched to 4 feet (120 cm, double its resting length) is at 100% elongation. Therefore, the resistance of the band is 4.6 pounds at that elongation. Each progressive step represents a consistent pull-force increase of 25% in the clinical range (Tan through Black) and 40% in the advanced range (Silver and Gold).
