What Exercises Can I Do with Resistance Bands?

As we've mentioned, TheraBands are really versatile and as such, they're great for toning your feet and legs, as well as increasing your fitness, even if you're not recovering from an injury. Whether from a personal trainer or the internet, you can find a huge number of resistance band exercises, but we've also listed a few below to get you started:

• Ankle Dorsiflexion
• Ankle Inversion 
• Lateral walk
• Abductions
• Banded front squats
• Lateral raises
• Squats
• Leg press

Five Different Colours, Five Different Resistances

To help enable progressive strength training, the TheraBand resistance bands are available with five different resistances. Each of these resistances is colour-coded to give therapists an at-a-glance indication of a patient's progress from one rehabilitation stage to another.

Take a look at the table below to find out more about the different resistances of TheraBand available.

What Does 100% Elongation Mean?

The strength classifications of TheraBands are graded by their resistance at "100% Elongation". By 100% elongation, we mean when a length of band has been stretched to twice its original measurement. This applies to any length of measurement you cut from the roll.

For example, if you cut a 100cm length of TheraBand, 100% elongation would be when the piece is stretched to 200cm.

Easily Track Progress Using the Different Colours Available

The colour-coded resistance spectrum makes it easy to track the progression of you or a patient. The colours represent different resistance levels as seen above, so simply move up a colour level when an incremental increase is desired. 

What Can the Latex Resistance Bands Be Used For?

With five different resistance levels and a clear progression system, the TheraBand Resistance Bands are hugely versatile. They're great for a variety of scenarios, including but not limited to:

• Increasing strength
• Increasing flexibility
• Toning
• Rehabilitation 
• Physiotherapy
• Stretching before or after exercising

Fantastic for Rehab

The progression system TheraBand use makes their resistance bands a natural choice for professional or at-home rehabilitation. It allows you to build your strength back gradually over time, even when recovering from a serious injury.

If you start with a lower resistance level like the Yellow (Light) band, the chances of reinjury and aggravating your injury are much lower.

Take Bodyweight Exercise to the Next Level

Lifting heavy weights isn't for everyone and some people prefer bodyweight exercises, but other than simply raising the amount of reps, this can be limiting. Adding TheraBand Resistance Bands to bodyweight exercises can raise the difficulty, building your fitness and strength levels. But because of how lightweight and compact they are, you can still exercise at home or outside.

Tough, Natural Latex Build

These Resistance Band Rolls are made using TheraBand's specially formulated natural latex. Not only is it naturally elastic, which is great for exercise, but it's also really durable and has a comfortable feel. 

What Are the Dimensions of the Resistance Exercise Band?

Each colour band has an approximate measurement of:

• 2.5m (length) x 13cm (width)

Our Guide to Finding the Perfect Size and Fit

Using Your Shoe Size

For most of our insoles, the easiest way to find the best size for you is to go off of your current shoe size. The majority of our insoles are available in a range of sizes and you can simply select the size that best fits your existing shoes.

Please be aware that, as with shoes, there can be slight variations in the size of insoles. For example a size 8 of one brand might not be exactly the same size and width as the size 8 of another. To help account for these discrepancies, a number of our insoles include dimensions to help you ensure you're getting the right size.

Measuring Your Current Insoles

While using your shoe size to find your best size is a good guide, it is not always foolproof. If you want to guarantee that your insole fit your shoes as closely as possible, we recommend measuring your existing insole and using this as a guide to your size.

To do this, please follow the steps outlined below:

1. Remove the existing insole from the shoes you wish to use your new insoles with (please note that not all insoles are removable)
2. Measure the insoles at their longest and widest points (see the below diagram for an idea of where this will be
3. Match the measurements to the dimensions of the insoles listed, and choose the size that best fits your results

Where Can I Find the Dimensions?

The dimensions for insoles can be found on the "Product Details" tab (please see below) and are usually found in the sizing section of the listing, in a table. Please be aware that not all products currently have the dimensions listed.

The dimensions of insoles can usually be found on the "Product Details" tab

What If There Are No Dimensions Listed?

If you do not see the dimensions listed on the Product Details tab, please fill in the form below and we will work to get the relevant information as quickly as possible. We will email you once we have the information that you have requested.

Trimming Your Insoles to Fit

To get the ultimate level of fit from your insoles, you can trim them to make a small adjustment. To trim your insoles, simply follow the steps below:

1. Remove your existing insoles from your shoes
2. Line up your existing and new insoles at the heel
3. Trace the outline of the insoles against the new pair at the toe end (see the image below for an example)
4. Carefully cut along the traced line
5. Your insoles should now fit your shoes better

Carefully trace the outline of your insole

Please note that not all insoles are suitable for trimming. Most insoles are unsuitable for return once they have been trimmed to fit; we recommend bearing this in mind prior to trimming.
