Resistance bands
Stretchy bands that add resistance to exercises. They are light, cheap and easy to store.
Why it matters
Bands are a cheap, compact way to add strength training at home or when travelling.
🇸🇬 In Singapore
Bands are a simple way to meet Singapore’s recommendation of muscle-strengthening activities on at least two days a week, without taking up space at home.
Tips before you buy
- Get a set with several resistance levels.
- Check bands for tears before use.
- Anchor them securely for door exercises.
