Equipment required
Band
Band equipment consists of elastic bands or tubes that provide resistance during exercises. They are commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase range of motion. Bands are versatile and can be used for a variety of exercises targeting different muscle groups, making them suitable for strength training, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The resistance levels can be adjusted based on the tension of the band, allowing for progressive overload and customization for individual fitness levels.
