Key specs – Resistance range: Six belt tubes totalling 90kg of resistance (2 x 10kg; 2 x 15kg; 2x20kg); Length: 90cm (unstretched, handle to handle); Accessories: Bar (additional accessories are available) Secure the band at mid-height and perform the standing row exercise. But this time you lift your elbows high up and pull the handles towards your face.

Fed up of flats? Inner tubes with built-in sealant can fix punctures for you as you ride, often before you even know they've happened. A carry bag is also useful if you’re planning on taking your resistance bands on the road and you can get ankle straps to attach the bands to, which again increases the range of exercises you can do. Certain band sets will also come with a basic workout manual, which is handy for beginners. How much resistance do I need? If your roadside pump is a screw-on/ off unwanted valve core removal is a major risk IME. If any pump you use is push-on/ off, I find the valve stems are quite flimsy and prone to bending, so the ability to replace is useful. Tube resistance bands, meanwhile, come with detachable handles and are the most effective type for strength training, especially when it comes to the upper body. With most sets, you can attach more than one band to the handles at a time to increase the resistance. You can also find figure-of-eight tube resistance bands with fixed handles, which are shorter than other resistance bands and so are useful for upper body exercises where you don’t need a huge range of motion. Along with door and ankle attachments, you get a band guard with the set. This sleeve goes around the band at the point it is wrapped around a bar or similar anchor to stop the band rubbing directly on the surface during your exercises, which can damage it.A wrinkle to all of this is that thinner and lighter butyl inner tubes have become available in the last few years. Bierman tested a 100g butyl tube against an 80g latex tube, but you can get butyl tubes as light as 50g. Because they’re thinner, they have lower rolling resistance but won’t lose air like latex, but their increased fragility means they need more care in handling and puncture more easily. Hold the band crossed over as shown and drop into a squat position. Then drive yourself up and at the same time push your hands up until they’re fully extended overhead. Try to coordinate your arms and legs so this is done in one smooth movement. A water-resistant bag is included to easily store and carry the resistance tube set. Lightweight and compact, it’s perfect for taking on your travels so you can work out wherever you go.

Extra-large 6cm carabiner clips allow you to easily attach the handles and help them to move more freely during dynamic movements Before we get to the exercises let me tell you what kind of resistance tubes I like to use for my workouts: READ NEXT: The best exercise bikes to buy The best resistance bands to buy in 2023 1. Theraband Resistance Bands: Best straight resistance band As well as using the tubes individually, you can clip multiple tubes to the handles to add extra resistance (eg. by clipping a 10lb and 25lb tube together, you can create 55lb of resistance). There are three common types of resistance bands: flat or straight bands, loop bands and tube bands.With feet together, stand on the band and hold the handles in front of you. Now lift your hands up to your chin, keeping your elbows high. You should feel it in the tops of your shoulders and traps. As a minimum, it’s worth getting a set of three bands of differing resistances to ensure you have what you need for a variety of exercises. You can also then double or triple up bands to increase the amount of resistance, which will be important as you get stronger and require more of a challenge.

Standing on the middle of the band, stretch the band up and to the sides, keeping your arms straight. Keep your body in the same posture as the previous exercise. You can choose from many types of resistance tubes in nearly any sporting goods store. In general, the lighter the color of the tubing, the lighter the resistance. Likewise, the darker the tubing, or the shorter you make the tubing, the greater the resistance. Choose from a 100lb (10lb, 15lb, 20lb, 25lb, 30lb), 150lb (10lb, 20lb, 30lb, 40lb, 50lb) or 200lb resistance set (20lb, 30lb, 40lb, 50lb, 60lb)The price might be a little steep, especially compared to the more basic bands here, but this GymProluxe set definitely bridges the gap between those budget options and fully fledged home gym equipment. Colour-coded tubes are made from natural latex for superior elasticity and are clearly labelled with the level of resistance in kgs and lbs

The resistance tubes are made from natural latex for superior strength and elasticity. Latex bands also stretch further than fabric bands for greater flexibility when you’re working out. Stand on the band and hold the handles at your waist. Now curl your arms up to stretch the band, feeling the exercise focused in your biceps. Hold the handles in front of your waist and hook the band around one foot. Step forward and drop into a lunge position, at the same time bringing your hands forward and up in an arc over your head. At first this might feel quite awkward until you’re used to the movement. Each set comes with two sets of handles, so you can work out with a partner without having to share. The extra pair also allows you to easily move from one resistance tube to another.The wide fabric band is easy to slip up over your legs and comfortable to use because the material won’t catch and tug on your leg hairs like a rubber band. If you want something stiffer to use for warm-ups in the gym, the company’s Thor Band is the way to go.
