For each exercise, do 1–3 sets of 8–15 repetitions, or modify this as directed by your doctor, physical therapist, or personal trainer.Use them when warming up, or as a finisher at the end of the workout to exhaust smaller muscle groups, such as biceps, triceps, and rear delts.

Overall, Whatafit offers a brilliant package option that's available in different colors and resistance level choices. Lighter bands 'usually range between 7kg and 16kg – perfect for your vertical/horizontal pull and single arm exercises, rehab, and attaching to free weights,' says Lankester. Pull the band nice and high with your hands wider than your face and your elbows in line with your shoulders.These chest muscles work in conjunction with the deltoid, biceps, and triceps to move the arm in pressing and chest fly exercises. Protective tubing on one end provides a more secure anchor point and keeps the nylon webbing from getting caught in the knot of the band. Lift elbows back so that hands are just below shoulder height, elbows are completely bent, palms faced down.

This kit includes four interchangeable tube bands of increasing resistances that can be used in combination (totaling a claimed 140 pounds), plus two rubberized handles, two padded ankle straps, two door anchors, a spiral-bound manual, and the best storage bag we’ve seen to hold it all. Once attached to a suitable door, it can be left in the same position without hindering the normal door movement. Overall, the Iron Bull Strength Heavy Duty Door Anchor is another premium-quality door anchor designed with a large foam stopper and thick rubber padding for added protection and versatility.

It's constructed using heavy-duty nylon webbing and has a large 3" soft, foam stopper that's designed to protect your door from scratches and dents. The door anchor needs to be constructed using durable material with reinforced stitching at the key stress points. Grab a handle in each hand and stretch your arms up, bending your elbows so your hands are positioned behind your neck.
