Dimensions and resistance of the 45 kg elastic band

Using the 45 kg band safely
Always check the condition of your band before starting your workout. If you see cuts or white areas, do not use it, as it could break during an exercise.
If you are using it to reduce weight on a pull-up bar, always check the attachment point to ensure that it doesn't come off during your exercise.
How to choose your weight training band
Our elastic bands have different colours depending on their level of resistance:
Blue:5 kg // Green: 15 kg // Yellow: 25 kg // Orange: 35 kg // Red: 45 kg // Black: 60 kg
Are you just starting weight training? Start with a band with light resistance, such as 5 or 15 kg, and then gradually increase.
If you're using an elastic to help with pull-ups, choose a higher resistance. The greater the resistance, the more it'll help you.
