Need More Resistance?

The yellow and black bands may not be enough for some people, so you can purchase heavier bands here. Remember, you can clip multiple bands to the handle attachments to increase the resistance.

Layout of Program

  • Each week consists of 4 workouts.

  • The 4th workout of every week is called "Negative Tension."

    • This focuses on just the negative part (aka lowering portion) of the workout.

  • Weeks 1 to 3 are repeated in weeks 4 to 6.

    • Week 1 is repeated in Week 4.

    • Week 2 is repeated in Week 5.

    • Week 3 is repeated in Week 6.

  • You'll compare your progress when you repeat the workouts for weeks 4, 5 and 6.
