Hello,
I’m planning to buy a resistance band set for full-body workouts at home. Could anyone recommend what I should include in the set? I’m currently thinking of getting circular bands (about 208 cm) and a door anchor, but I’m not sure if I also need a bar or if I can achieve my goal of muscle growth with just the bands.
Great choice! I also use loop resistance bands and find them very effective. I have the Weller Powerband set, which includes 5 bands for $50, and they are very durable—no damage after 6 months of use. I also use the Weller app, which offers free workouts and paid programs.
Having a door anchor is beneficial because it allows for a wider range of exercises and positions.
I recommend getting a pair of basic workout gloves to protect your hands from scratches; they cost about $3 and only need to be replaced once a year or so.
Some people suggest adding a bar and a footstep, but these can be quite expensive at around $300, and they aren’t really necessary.
Hi there! I’m a big fan of resistance bands in all forms, but it’s important to ensure they are made of strong, high-quality material to avoid any tears during workouts—I learned that the hard way! Latex bands are popular because they offer good elasticity and durability. Fabric bands can be a great alternative if you have a latex allergy, as they are often more comfortable. Rubber bands are typically more durable and are better suited for higher resistance levels.
You should also consider the length and width of the resistance bands based on the exercises you plan to do. Longer bands are great for exercises requiring more range, like assisted pull-ups or full-body stretches. Shorter bands are more suitable for targeting specific muscle groups. Wider bands usually provide higher resistance levels, making them ideal for lower-body exercises. Hope this helps, and good luck on your fitness journey!
