WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RESISTANCE BANDS AND ELASTIC TUBES?
The main difference between the two types of elastics lies in the nature of the workout they enable.

With elastic tubes and the accessories included in the SmartWorkout Élite kit, you can precisely replicate gym movements, allowing for a wide range of exercises and a complete programme. Moreover, adjusting the resistance by combining multiple tubes allows for personalised progression and the use of higher resistances, creating all the conditions needed for effective muscle building.

Resistance bands, on the other hand, are more focused on mobility exercises with clear ease of setup. Simply place the band under your feet or wrap it around a pole to perform movements. The bands are also easier to transport and store. They are ideal for warming up before a workout!

INCREASE OR DECREASE THE EFFORT

Many people who use resistance bands also do bodyweight exercises, and the bands can assist users with certain movements or add difficulty.

For street workout enthusiasts, resistance bands are very useful for learning specific moves.

LESS VERSATILE, BUT COMPLEMENTARY

However, unlike muscle-building elastic tubes, the resistance levels are not adjustable, and the programme will be less comprehensive.

They are mainly aimed at users who wish to use the bands for a warm-up or for a quick and effective workout while on the go.
WHAT IS THE "PLUS" WITH SMARTWORKOUT?

QUALITY AND DURABILITY

Firstly, the elastic resistance bands, also known as loop bands, are made from natural latex (preferred over the plastic TPE found in most commercially available bands), which makes them smoother to the touch and more elastic.

Additionally, they last much longer.

VERSATILITY

Secondly, SmartWorkout offers a pack of 4 bands with different levels of progressive resistance: a very light band for warming up and a heavier band for assistance with bodyweight exercises.

You also have the option to purchase these resistance bands individually according to your goals!
