BOLDFIT Mini Loop Resistance Bands (5 Pack)

Types

• Mini loop bands: small latex loops for glutes, hips and warm-ups. Great for bridges and side steps.
• Fabric hip bands: wider and grippier, so they don't roll up your legs during squats.
• Long loop (power) bands: for assisted pull-ups, stretching and adding resistance to squats and presses.

Choosing a level

Resistance increases the further a band is stretched, and colour codes vary between brands. Start with a level that lets you do 12–15 controlled reps. A set of light, medium and heavy bands covers most exercises.

Use them safely

• Check for nicks, tears or sticky patches before every session, and replace a damaged band.
• Anchor long bands to something solid, such as a rack or a door anchor on the hinge side, never to furniture that can move.
• Control the band in both directions, and keep it away from your face.
• Store bands away from heat and direct sunlight.

Before: 5–10 minutes

1. Raise your heart rate for 2–3 minutes: easy jog, skipping or marching on the spot.
2. Move through your full range: leg swings, walking lunges with a twist, hip circles, arm circles.
3. Activate: 10–15 glute bridges, band pull-aparts or mini-band side steps.
4. Rehearse your sport: shadow swings, split steps and short sprints for tennis and badminton, throwing and catching drills for cricket, lighter warm-up sets before lifting.

After: 5–10 minutes

• Walk or cycle easily until your breathing settles.
• Hold gentle stretches for the muscles you used for about 20–30 seconds each. Stretch to mild tension, never pain.
• Drink water and eat a normal meal or snack within a few hours.

Racket and throwing sports: add light shoulder work with a band (outward rotations and pull-aparts) a few times a week. Strong shoulders handle serving, smashing and bowling better.
