Light Resistance Band that is used as a "Beginner" or "Training" band. All of the Equalizer™ Bands are made of layered latex for high resistance to breakage and tear. This Light Resistance Band serves several purposes. It is used as a ‘rehabilitation’ band to help you nurse yourself back from an injury. It can be used by a younger child to help them gain strength for their school sports or become efficient with The Equalizer™. It can also be used by an adult in numerous exercises where a lighter band is called for. As we say, “Less is More!” And, if you are not too familiar with fitness routines or using a tool such as The Equalizer™ you can use the lighter band to allow you time to get a “feel” for how the device functions. Once you get the hang of it you can advance to a stronger resistance band.
Beginner Band
All you need is one band that you can lift with moderate to heavy resistance while maintaining safe control. The Equalizer™ will allow you to use a single band for multiple exercises without having to stop and change to a "stronger" band. With resistance bands, you will feel tension throughout the entire range of motion. You don’t have to rely on gravity as you do with free weights (dumbbells or barbells) to create the resistance. The constant tension that resistance bands offer is extremely important in building muscle, spurring a degree of metabolic stress and pump, which free weights lack. Another key benefit of using resistance bands for building muscle is their ability to work in multiple planes. With free weights (as well as weight plates found on machines using pulleys) resistance only applies in one vertical plane, which is due to gravity. With bands, you are not confined to gravity’s pull. Since The Equalizer™ is not influenced by gravity you are able to perform hundreds of exercises that weights cannot equal. Considering the advantages of linear variable resistance, multi-plane capability coupled with constant tension, and the added convenience of being lightweight, portable, and cost-effective, there is no downside to The Equalizer™ training.
