  • Do you have a wall chart that shows all of the exercises?

    Unfortunately we no longer have a wall chart that displays all of the exercises.. We had stopped producing the wall chart a number of years ago and do not include it in any of the systems.

  • How long are the Bodylastics resistance bands?

  • I am seeing a white powder looking coating on my bands. Are they safe to use?

    What you are seeing is the talc powder used in the manufacture of the bands coming to the colored surface of the latex. It is normal in time and use for bands, especially if they haven't been used on a regular basis. The whiteish color you are seeing doesn't affect the integrity of the band and ...

  • My Bodylastics resistance levels are different than the ones I see. For example my 5lb is a yellow and now the yellow band is a 3lb.

    The band colors and resistance levels had changed about 2012 when we had introduced a new 3lb. band. When the new 3lb resistance level was added, we shifted all the colors down 1 level. Here is a list that gives the levels and colors of the old resistance band levels and the new resistance band l...

  • Why don't you make a 100lb resistance band like some other companies?

    Many band manufacturers base their resistance level on different things. Some combine the total of both ends of the bands, some use the total of the full elongation and some literally just apply a random number. Bodylastics very accurately tests the resistance levels of their bands. Bodylastics ...

  • Can I use a wall anchor like the one's that Bob and Brad sell?

  • When I add up your resistance claimed on your sets I only get half that if I add up all the bands.How do you calculate your resistance levels?

    The total resistance of a system is calculated by adding up the resistance of all the bands in the set and then multiplying by 2 to account for each end of the bands. For example, if you take the 5lb. green band and anchor one end and stretch a single length of elastic you will be getting 5lbs. ...

  • My bands won't stretch very far and come to a stop when I am trying to use them

    What you are feeling is the Snap Reduction Technology cord getting tangled in the band and preventing you from stretching the band. With your new bands you need to make sure that you activate the Snap Reduction Technology before the first use. It's essential but simple to do, just follow the dir...

  • There is a small bump/lump on my band. Should I be concerned?

    In very rare cases you may receive a band that has a small bump on the surface. The small lump you are seeing is nothing to worry about. The bands are manufactured in what is called a "Continuous Dip" process. This means the latex is dipped over and over multiple times to form the tube. This proc...

  • What do the number ranges mean on my band?

    If you have one of the new bands you will see a number range on the label now. For example, on the yellow band you will see 3-12lbs. The numbers you see on the band are the minimum and maximum resistance levels that band will produce. Resistance bands provide what is called progressive resista...
