Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about EQYP Fitness Products.
What's the difference between a flat band and a loop band?
Flat bands are long, straight bands used for looped exercises, stretching, and pulling movements, while loop bands are pre-formed continuous circles typically used around the legs for glute and hip activation.
Are latex-free bands as durable as latex bands?
Latex-free bands (typically made from TPE) are comparable in durability to latex bands and are a good alternative for anyone with latex sensitivities.
What exercises use wide squat bands?
Wide squat bands are commonly used for banded squats, hip thrusts, glute bridges, and lateral walks, adding resistance directly across the hips and thighs.
How do I know which band resistance to use for glute activation?
Light to medium bands (5-20 lbs) are typically sufficient for glute activation exercises like clamshells and lateral walks, since the goal is muscle activation rather than maximal resistance.
Can bands be used for upper body exercises?
Yes. Flat bands and loops are commonly used for rows, presses, bicep curls, and shoulder external rotations by anchoring the band or looping it around a fixed point.
How should I store resistance bands to make them last longer?
Store bands away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, and avoid overstretching beyond their rated capacity to prevent premature wear or snapping.
