Our Premium Exercise Band is specially designed for dancers, gymnasts, cheerleaders, yogis and those looking to prevent injury by using stretching exercises. Really, any athlete who is wanting to deepen their stretch pre or post workout will benefit from use of our exercise bands. These heavy duty latex bands allow the user to stretch hands free, getting into and holding positions more easily than without this band. The thickness of our bands allows for a more comfortable stretch than our competitors. It is less likely to "dig in" to your skin because of the width. The Premium Exercise Bands are built using a layered method which prevents snapping/breaking. As the band begins to wear, much like strings of a rope, the layers will begin to wear. This is your indication that it is time to replace the band. Bands WILL NOT SNAP without warning! The high quality construction of our PREMIUM EXERCISE stretch bands have long term quality, durability and elasticity. We are so confident that you are going to love our Premium Stretch Bands, we offer your SATISFACTION GUARANTEED. Physical or Occupational Therapy, Yoga, Pilates, Dance, Gymnastics, or simply to increase your flexibility, this is your band of choice. Slow and Steady Wins the Race! You have heard this expression, and it applies to this band! Start slow. 10-15 seconds in each stretch is a good place to start. Listen to your body.
