Why would I need a strip design exercise band?

This is a difficult question to answer because everyone has his own workout routine and comfort. In most cases you should purchase two exercise bands, one for fitness exercise and one for athletic exercise. You can always buy a backup band in case one gets ruined.

I've purchase my own band through http://www.ballsnbands.com/ they got both exercise balls and band (tube and strip) of many major exercise bands brand. Furthermore they provide you with long term warranty (1 year) and they have an excellent customer service, enjoy your new band!

You should use a tube design exercise band when want a durable band. You can chose from both soft foam handles and hard plastic, they both good and it is a personal comfort decision.

Fit-loop exercise band is a type of exercise band that's used to work the lower body muscles: legs, hips, and glutes. If you're looking to target upper body muscles and core muscles as well, fit-loop exercise band is not for you and you should get a different type of exercise band (figure-8, fit tube).

A fit-tube exercise band is a 4 foot long exercise band with plastic handles. Nice thing about this type of exercise band is that it can be used for exercises like lat pulldown and triceps pushdown which require you to attach the band to the top of a door.

There are quite a few exercises you can do with a band to help work on your abs. This list includes exercises such as the band crunch, band twisting crunch, band trunk rotation and my personal favorite the band side bend.

Exercise bands are strips of rubber elastic that are used todefine muscle.
