Why a fitness band, you ask? Firstly, no other training device is as small and handy as all of these bands. You can train with them absolutely anywhere and at any time without lugging them around. And secondly, resistance bands are ideal for stretching muscles, warming them up or, depending on the resistance, for a really intensive workout. Endurance and muscle building units can be successfully completed with them. Flexible, easy on the joints and can be used by absolutely any athlete, whether beginner or professional.
A few more words about our flat bands: You may know these bands under the name “Thera-Band®”. But this is actually NOT a generic term. It is a registered company name, which is why it is not used anywhere on our website. So let's talk a little about our flat bands now. With a length of two meters, an extremely large range of motion is possible, which is hardly possible with other bands. This is an ideal way for beginners to get started, as they have a much lower resistance than our other range of bands. You also undoubtedly train your shoulder, abdominal, arm and back muscles, but in a much gentler way. This makes these bands perfect for every athlete to warm up, stretch and mobilize before training. Flat bands are usually found in physiotherapy practices. The muscles are gently rebuilt with a flat band after injuries. Now this band comes to your home and expands your training routine.
