Tips & Warnings

• Using the proper resistance during exercise is key to progress. While picking the proper resistance in the beginning is key to not injuring yourself, you should increase the resistance once the exercise becomes too easy.
• Please note that these bands will degrade with time, especially when introduced to extreme heat, cold and low humidity. Breakage during usage can leave a nasty welt on the skin or may cause eye damage. Make sure that the bands are in good working order prior to usage and do not stretch them past capacity.
• You should always consult a physician of fitness specialist prior to beginning an exercise program.
