Product Information

Fed up of flats? Inner tubes with built-in sealant can fix punctures for you as you ride, often before you even know they've happened. Along with door and ankle attachments, you get a band guard with the set. This sleeve goes around the band at the point it is wrapped around a bar or similar anchor to stop the band rubbing directly on the surface during your exercises, which can damage it.

You can choose from many types of resistance tubes in nearly any sporting goods store. In general, the lighter the color of the tubing, the lighter the resistance. Likewise, the darker the tubing, or the shorter you make the tubing, the greater the resistance. I put together a list of all the resistance tube exercises I could think of and, being pretty much a nice kind of guy, I just had to share it with you. A wrinkle to all of this is that thinner and lighter butyl inner tubes have become available in the last few years. Bierman tested a 100g butyl tube against an 80g latex tube, but you can get butyl tubes as light as 50g. Because they’re thinner, they have lower rolling resistance but won’t lose air like latex, but their increased fragility means they need more care in handling and puncture more easily. He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. Attaching an ankle strap to the tube allows you to safely anchor it to your foot. By attaching a regular handle to the other end of the tube, you can perform bicep curls and other exercises. As a minimum, it’s worth getting a set of three bands of differing resistances to ensure you have what you need for a variety of exercises. You can also then double or triple up bands to increase the amount of resistance, which will be important as you get stronger and require more of a challenge.

With feet together, stand on the band and hold the handles in front of you. Now lift your hands up to your chin, keeping your elbows high. You should feel it in the tops of your shoulders and traps. A water-resistant bag is included to easily store and carry the resistance tube set. Lightweight and compact, it’s perfect for taking on your travels so you can work out wherever you go. The simplest type of resistance band of all, but it’s still possible to go wrong by buying a flimsy straight band that will only last a couple of light stretches before losing their snap. These Theraband strips are perfect for mobility and rehab sessions, and if you opt for the heavier resistance bands you can expect them to last a year or two. Before we get to the exercises let me tell you what kind of resistance tubes I like to use for my workouts:

If your roadside pump is a screw-on/ off unwanted valve core removal is a major risk IME. If any pump you use is push-on/ off, I find the valve stems are quite flimsy and prone to bending, so the ability to replace is useful. Secure the band high up on the door frame and hold both handles, standing side on to the door. Using your oblique abdominal muscles, pull the bands down and away from the door in a downward chopping motion.

Strap and loop resistance bands won’t last as long as tube bands, but you can still expect them to get you through one or two years of workouts without breaking or losing their snap. Store them out of the sunlight to extend their life. Tube bands are hardier and should last a couple more years, although again it’s important to store them out of the sun. Each set also includes a door anchor to securely anchor one end of the tube to a door frame and perform a variety of exercises. Its foam design helps to protect your door from damage. Tube resistance bands, meanwhile, come with detachable handles and are the most effective type for strength training, especially when it comes to the upper body. With most sets, you can attach more than one band to the handles at a time to increase the resistance. You can also find figure-of-eight tube resistance bands with fixed handles, which are shorter than other resistance bands and so are useful for upper body exercises where you don’t need a huge range of motion. Our tester experienced no punctures while using the Smart tube, but that might just have been the Puncture Fairy looking the other way for a few weeks. Easily one of the best resistance band sets we've ever sampled, Gymproluxe's belt and bar 2.0 is the absolute dream setup for anyone who can't make it down to the gym regularly. With up to 150 workouts available at your muscular disposal, the bands offer up to 200lbs of resistance, with a simple system to raise or lower the weight between workouts, so you can target biceps, quads or chest across multiple exercises in seconds.

Stand on the band and hold the handles at your waist. Now curl your arms up to stretch the band, feeling the exercise focused in your biceps. Hold the handles in front of your waist and hook the band around one foot. Step forward and drop into a lunge position, at the same time bringing your hands forward and up in an arc over your head.
