Tips for Using Different Pole Fitness Bands

Customize the resistance needed for each pole exercise.

Bust through plateaus and accelerate progressions by training with the right selection of pole stretch bands.

• 
  Accelerate aerial hip lift training with the heavy band
• 
  Progress to the robust band to strengthen handsprings/deadlifts
• 
  Scale up to the power resistance band to hold your iron-x

Mark progress with lighter bands as you train static or dynamic exercises

As you fatigue, you’ll need more band assistance, and as you get stronger you’ll need less.

• 
  Combine two pole resistance bands for maximum assistance
• 
  Remove the lighter band as you get stronger for medium assistance
• 
  Progress further until using just the lighter band for minimal assistance
