Why minibands?

Making exercise easily accessible can be the key to getting exercise done. Not much is needed, and if you put in one set of 4-5 exercises, once or twice a week, you are doing great.

Something for everyone?

The nice thing with minibands is that you can increase the load based on progression. If you get stronger, you can both increase the resistance on the mini bands, but also increase the number of repetitions and series in the exercise. This form of training is therefore suitable for both beginners and experienced people. The training is simple, gentle and can be adjusted to what level you are at.If you are experienced, you can choose a band with a lot of resistance, or even two bands at once. If you are a beginner, you can choose a band with less resistance. Give it a go, and see what resistanse suit you.
