RESISTANCE BANDS
Our natural latex resistance bands are perfect if you're looking for a simple and versatile workout.
You can choose to buy them in a pack of 4 bands or individually.
In the pack of 4 bands, you will have the following bands: Band of 5-15 kg + Band of 10-30 kg + Band of 15-40 kg + Band of 25-60 kg
Dimensions : each band folded measures 104 cm (208 cm circumference)
Material : natural latex
With elastic tubes and the accessories included in the SmartWorkout Élite kit, you can precisely replicate gym movements, allowing for a wide range of exercises and a complete programme. Moreover, adjusting the resistance by combining multiple tubes allows for personalised progression and the use of higher resistances, creating all the conditions needed for effective muscle building.
Resistance bands, on the other hand, are more focused on mobility exercises with clear ease of setup. Simply place the band under your feet or wrap it around a pole to perform movements. The bands are also easier to transport and store. They are ideal for warming up before a workout!
INCREASE OR DECREASE THE EFFORT
For street workout enthusiasts, resistance bands are very useful for learning specific moves.
LESS VERSATILE, BUT COMPLEMENTARY
They are mainly aimed at users who wish to use the bands for a warm-up or for a quick and effective workout while on the go.
QUALITY AND DURABILITY
Additionally, they last much longer.
VERSATILITY
You also have the option to purchase these resistance bands individually according to your goals!

The main difference lies in the nature of the workout. With elastic tubes and the accessories from the SmartWorkout Élite kit, you can precisely replicate gym movements, allowing for a wider range of exercises and a complete programme. In contrast, resistance bands are better suited for mobility exercises and warming up due to their ease of setup and transport.
-
With resistance bands, it is more difficult to adjust the resistance compared to the elastic tubes from the Elite kit. With the elastic tubes, resistance can be adjusted by combining multiple tubes together. This allows for personalised progression and the use of higher resistances, meeting all the conditions needed for effective muscle building.

SmartWorkout resistance bands are made from natural latex, making them smoother to the touch and more elastic compared to the commonly available TPE plastic bands. They are also more durable. The SmartWorkout pack includes four bands with different resistance levels, which can be purchased individually according to your needs. Additionally, accessories such as Carabiners, handles, and door anchors can be added for greater specificity in your workouts.

Yes, resistance bands are effective for building muscle and increasing muscle mass if the right equipment is used.
To promote muscle growth, it's necessary to apply tension to the muscle to create micro-tears in the muscle fibres. The body then rebuilds these fibres to be stronger and larger to better handle future efforts.
Several studies have shown that the body doesn't differentiate between the resistance of free weights and elastic resistance, as long as the tension is the same in both cases: the resistance must be high enough to continuously create micro-tears (progressive overload) and be felt throughout the movement (time under tension).
Our resistance bands are designed to meet these conditions due to their total resistance, composition, and size. Additionally, to feel the resistance from the start of the movement, we have created tutorials to help you pre-stretch the bands. Note that for certain exercises like the Deadlift or the Overhead Press, the SmartWorkout bar will be necessary.
