With a 46cm circumference, when we say these bands are mini, we mean it. While they stretch to double their starting length, they are out of the question for any kind of intense training. Still, you get four resistance levels in each set – green (light), blue (medium), red (heavy) and black (extra heavy). So anyone who’s after a bit less resistance or is recovering from an injury and needs a physio solution could really benefit from them, starting light and building up gradually.
Build muscle and strength with this resistance band full-body workout
Made by popular fitness retailer Fitness Superstore, the Body Power Mini Band set is a steal at just £3.29. The set of four bands takes up hardly any room, which means you’ll barely notice them if packed in your hand luggage ahead of a long-haul flight. Also good for anyone suffering from arthritis or stiffness in their fingers, the lightest, green band in particular can help with mobilisation when splaying your fingers against resistance.
The Body Power Mini Band set definitely isn’t it a do-it-all solution. However, they will work in conjunction with other bands or a gym or home training regime to give you workout options wherever you are.
