Resistance bands are versatile strength training tools. They’re lightweight and portable, and they cost less than a month’s membership at most gyms, yet they can significantly enhance strength training workouts.
We considered 24 sets of bands and tested 12, and found that the Bodylastics Stackable Tube Resistance Bands are the best—and should be the safest—traditional tube-and-handle bands. If you’re looking for superbands for pull-up assistance or mini bands for physical therapy exercises, we have picks for those, too.
