RESISTANCE BAND LEVELS The great thing about the LockDown Defender bands is that you can adjust the resistance by changing the bands.

Yellow Bands - 7 to 10 lbs. of resistance Green Bands - 10 to 15 lbs of resistance Blue Bands - 15 to 22 lbs of resistance Red Bands - 22 to 30 lbs of resistance Black Bands - 30 to 40 lbs of resistance  What the Boss Says Chris Hungerford HoopsKing.com CEO The LockDown Lateral Resistance Bands for Ankles & Thighs are very popular with our customers. When we set out to design the bands, we wanted something that was well made and more useful than most products like this on the market. You can buy lateral bands at the big box stores but you can't change the resistance on them. The one band they come with is built in. Once you can easily do that one band there is no use for the product. Also, with most of those you have to be about 6'5" to get any resistance as the bands are way too long on those products. So we wanted a product that you could change the resistance on and give you enough bands that the product is useful for a youth player to a pro player.  Our bands also have metal clips. Most of these types of products on the market are made with cheap plastic clips that you know will break if you really use them for very long. The next thing we wanted to do was make them useful beyond lateral movement so they had to fit on the thighs as well. This opens up many more possibilities of using the bands vs. just wearing them around your ankles. I personally like to use them when working out to make by BeachBody workouts like P90X, T25, Beast, and others more difficult. T25 with these bands are great. I tried some of those bands that do not have straps and those quickly ride up on you and don't work. With the straps, everything stays in place while working out. So the bands are functional in any sport and area of fitness you want to use them. Make basketball defense drills fun by adding the Lockdown Lateral Resistance Bands for Ankles & Thighs to your workouts. What are lateral resistance bands? Lateral resistance bands are elastic bands that are designed to provide resistance during lateral movements, such as side steps and lateral lunges. They help to improve your hip stability, strengthen your leg muscles, and prevent injury. How do you use lateral resistance bands? To use lateral resistance bands, simply place the band around your ankles or thighs and perform lateral movements, such as side steps or lateral lunges. You can also use them during other exercises, such as squats or leg presses, to add resistance and increase the difficulty of the exercise. What muscles does lateral band work? Lateral resistance bands primarily work your hip abductors, which are the muscles on the outside of your hips that are responsible for moving your legs away from your body. They also work your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Are resistance bands good for lateral raises? Yes, resistance bands can be used for lateral raises to provide resistance during the exercise and target the lateral deltoid muscles. They can be used as a standalone exercise or incorporated into a full-body workout routine.
