resistance bands
Elastic workout loops
Resistance bands are elastic strips or tubes used for strength training and physical therapy.
They provide tension when stretched, allowing exercises without weights: I travel with resistance bands since they pack flat.
Bands come in varying resistance levels, typically color-coded from light to heavy.
Also called exercise bands or therapy bands.
