Why we know this works!
We love resistance bands because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the exercise program that actually gets done is the one sitting in a drawer two feet away, not across town at a gym. Are resistance bands better than weights for older adults? For many people yes, because the tension builds gradually through the movement instead of loading your joints all at once, there is nothing heavy to drop, and you can exercise from a chair. This five-band set runs from X-light to X-heavy, so you progress by simply switching colors, and the 6-foot length works for arms, legs, back, and core.
They are especially helpful for people rebuilding strength after surgery or illness, managing arthritis, or working on balance and fall prevention at home. Check each band for small tears before use and anchor it securely, and since these are latex, choose our coated Hand Weights instead if you have a latex allergy.
