Resistance Tubes

A resistance tube is effective in building and toning muscles. It is a good alternative for large home gym equipment. It places stress or tension on the muscles forcing them to adapt to the resistance. Muscles adapt by growing bigger and stronger. A resistance tube is perfect for strength training and rehabilitation as it normally works well for several types of impact-free exercise. It is made of rubber tubing with cushioned handles attached to both ends.

Resistance tube

Originally designed for medical purposes, resistance tubes come in different diameters. They come in different resistance levels signified by different colours, which may vary from one manufacturer to another. A resistance tube is used principally to work the upper body while resistance band, a ribbon-like piece of rubber, can effectively work the lower body, as well.
