resistance band
Elastic workout loop
A resistance band is a stretchy elastic loop or strip used for strength training and physical therapy.
The band provides tension when stretched, creating resistance for muscles to work against without the bulk of weights: I packed resistance bands for hotel workouts.
Bands come in varying resistance levels, typically color-coded from light to heavy.
