Therapy Bands

Danielle Tillie started this discussion · 3/12/2010

Hey everyone! I'm interested in starting to use therapy bands for a variety of strength training purposes. I specifically want to use them for the wrist and hand exercises Veena has been posting. I've noticed that my forearms still get pretty sore after pole dance so I feel like I need some additional work on them. Question is, what strength of therapy band would I need for those types of exercises? I found this website: http://www.simplefitnesssolutions.com/products/therapy_band1.htm#Important%20Info I know I shouldn't get anything heavy for a hand/wrist exercise... so maybe light or light-medium? I don't have any experience with therapy bands yet so I'd appreciate any advice! Thanks! ☀️

You can just go to Target or Wal Mart they have fit/therapy bands there super cheap!

Oh really? I feel silly now. Do they have the same variety of resistances, or just a one-size-fits-all type deal?
Veena · 3/12/2010
It will say the level of resistance on the package 😀

I know in the UK the weakest resistance is the cream theraband.... not sure if its the same in the US. Strongest are black and green I think, but it depends on which brand you buy. I'd start with a weaker resistance, and then build up gradually to a stronger one.

Ok well I think I'll pick up two, that gets up to 5 lbs. of resistance and up to 10 lbs. as well... I think those would be good for hand/wrist exercises, right? 💪

Englann, I don't know if you have found what you are looking for yet, but I went to Walmart.com and found a lot of helpful stuff. The prices are great (of course) and there are several options. Not all of the sets are sold in stores (some are just on the website) but they offer free shipping to the store closest to you and then you can just go in and pick up your order when it gets there. Here are just a few that I found. Feel free to surf a bit and find what you are looking for. I hope this helps you too! 🌸 http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=12167853&findingMethod=rr onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.walmart.com/ip/J-Fit-Resistance-Exercise-Bands-Set-of-4/11743086 onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
