For most of the exercises, you’ll be given a rep range, such as 10 to 15 reps. During Week 2, try for the lower end of the range. Then, in Week 3, aim for the higher end.
Long-Loop Bands
Bands With Handles
Always check your bands for rips, tears, cracks and other wear, which can leave them prone to snapping and hurting you mid-workout. If your bands are old or worn down, consider purchasing a new set.
