ABOUT FLEX BAND RESISTANCE

UNLIKE

WEIGHT

STACK

SYSTEMS,

FLEX

BAND

SYSTEMS

GIVE

PROGRESSIVELY

INCREASING

RESISTANCE.

AT

THE

IS

VERY

LITTLE

RESISTANCE,

BUILDS

TO

THE

MAXIMUM

RESISTANCE

OF

THE

SETTING

AT

THE

END

OF

THE

MOVEMENT.

ALSO,

BECAUSE

OF

STRETCHING

AND

AGING

OF

THE

BANDS,

THEY

MAY

GENERALLY

LOOSE

RESISTANCE

A

PERIOD

OF

WITH

NORMAL

USE

CARE,

YOU

BANDS

WILL

LAST

A

LONG

TIME,

HOWEVER,

CARE

SHOULD

BE

TAKEN

TO

NOT

MISUSE

OVERSTRETCH

THEM.
