The #0 Orange band provides our lowest level of resistance and is great for light stretching, warming up, rehabilitation and shoulder activation.
Bands #1 Purple & #2 Red are best for general conditioning, rehabilitation, stretching, jumping, speed training, aerobics, and for lifters as assistance for the upper body to increase the resistance for bicep and triceps.
Either band is great for beginners and light weightlifters. Both can be used to safely increase the intensity of a workout without adding additional weights to a bar. For the stronger lifter, they will add considerable resistance to bicep and tricep exercises.
Bands #3 Blue & #4 Green can be used by stronger benchers, and with exercises involving the lower body, calves, quads, hamstring and glutes.
Large and X-Large Bands (#5 Black & 6 Yellow, 6.5 Gray and 7 Orange) are usually used for obtaining maximum resistance with squats, deadlifts, leg presses and shrugs.
