With this Quick Clip System, you can quickly and easily add or remove bands to create heavier or lighter resistance loads, respectively. As such, you are able to challenge each of your muscle groups at its ideal level with under- or over-taxing it.

Whether it’s a closet door, the door to a room, or the front door to your home, you can emulate all of the best workout machine exercises simply by hooking the door anchor to any door and shutting it all the way.

Elastic Tubes: The adjustable and smooth Bodylastic bands make optimal use of elastic resistance to achieve innumerable and incomparable benefits in the way your body looks and feels.

As opposed to flat exercise bands which are less effective and easier to snap, Bodylastics uses elastic tubes, each one 4′ in length and varying in thickness in order to create different degrees of resistance. The Bodylastics fitness tubes are all made of the highest quality latex rubber and built with a fully snap-resistant design.

Further, in order to make it as easy as can be to use Bodylastics, the elastic bands are color coded, each color representing a different level of tension.  Changing the level of resistance is really just as simple as clip one or more additional tubes onto or off of the ankle straps or handles you’re using. Combining the elastic bands so, you get 15 different levels of resistance in the Basic set and 31 different resistance levels available in the Max Tension set.

Handles & Ankle Straps: With both handles and ankle straps included, you are able to work out all parts of both your upper and lower body. And both the handles and ankle straps are built to be as soft and comfortable to the touch as they are easy to grip as they are safe, sturdy, durable, and reliable.

The Bodylastics is unique, unequaled in design, combining certain key components in just the right way to give users an all-purpose, multidimensional workout. The door anchor allows you to recreate all of their favorite gym exercises wherever you go. The clip system makes the bands scalable for working out each muscle and muscle group at its ideal weight/resistance.

How long before I start to notice results?

You have to give yourself a minimum of about a month before expecting to feel and see any marked improvements in your build and your strength.

How does using these elastic bands compare to using free weights?

Your muscle don’t know the difference between free weights and elastic bands and weight lifting machines. It only knows the resistance it’s working against. The source of the resistance is irrelevant to the body’s muscles. So that point being equal, what other criteria distinguish one from the other? Cost, portability, safety: in all of these areas, Bodylastic bands have an edge over the others. Additionally, the more you stretch Bodylastsic bands, the more difficult they get to stretch, which has the added benefit of placing additional stress on your muscles at just the right time for it to have the greatest effect.

Is Bodylastics durable?

The Bodylastics equipment – from the bands to the clips to the door hook – have undergone 8 full years of testing and retooling to get to the product offered on the market today. Part of the strength and durability of the Bodylastics bands comes from the top quality latex they’re made of. Also, the clips use a carefully designed fastening method that places as little stress on the bands as possible.

What’s the difference between the Bodylastics Basic Tension set and the Bodylastics Max Tension set?

How long will my Bodylastics set last?

Like sneakers (tennis shoes, running shoes, etc.), Bodylastics are made of rubber, and as such have a lifespan very much dependent on the intensity of their use. If you use your Bodylastics set daily and are very hard on them when you use them, you might start to see some wear after 6 months. Other Bodylastics customers, however, are still enjoying regular use of their original set after 3 or 4 years. But there’s also the huge consolation that if you do snap one of your bands, you don’t have to buy a whole new set. You can buy individual bands, clips, and door hooks all separately as you need them.
