Resistance Band

An elastic band whose resistance rises as it stretches. That gives a different load curve from a weight: light at the start of the movement, heaviest at the end where the muscle is strongest. It makes bands ideal for warm-up and activation work on small muscles such as the rotator cuff and hip abductors. Cheap, light and packable, they are the most practical piece of home and travel equipment.
