Choosing the Right Resistance Level
The TheraBand CLX™ Resistance Band comes in seven resistance levels. Picking the right resistance band requires a basic assessment of your athlete’s current condition and training goals.
The color-coded THERABAND Trusted Progression™ System illustrates the resistance level according to degree of difficulty. There are eight levels ranging from yellow (3 lbs) to gold (14.2 lbs) that offer progressive increase in resistance. This system makes it easy to track an athlete's progress. The system provides a 25% increase in pull force in colors yellow through black and a 40% increase in pull force in colors silver and gold.
