Heavy Weight MINI Resistance Band

Product detailed description

Heavy Weight MINI resistance band set

(also known as an exercise band/strength band/mini band)

The MINI resistance band/exercise band/strength band in this design is used somewhat differently from classic resistance bands. The reason is its short length and wider surface. You'll find it useful, for example, in the gym during strength training, when stretching at home, or as a brilliant helper in rehabilitation exercises. But imagination knows no bounds, and you can use these resistance bands/exercise bands/strength bands however you see fit. 

The mini version of the resistance band comes in several resistance levels, distinguished by colour:

• mini resistance band/exercise band/mini band blue 7–9 kg
• mini resistance band/exercise band/mini band red 11–13 kg
• mini resistance band/exercise band/mini band black 13–18 kg

With these fitness bands you can train both the upper and lower half of your body. They are most popular, though, for lower-body training — specifically the thighs, glutes, inner thigh muscles and more. Typical uses include side steps, squats, leg curls and other exercises. For the upper body, think arm raises with the bands around your wrists. 

It's best to wear the mini resistance bands/exercise bands/fitness bands over a layer of clothing — socks, leggings, shorts and the like. They are made of natural latex, which lasts longer than cotton materials, which lose their elasticity over time. 

The Heavy Weight band and its benefits:

• developed with top athletes
• universal use
• strengthening, stretching, rehabilitation
• bands in various resistance levels
• black 13–18 kg
• red 11–13 kg
• blue 7–9 kg

Another type of fitness band/strength band/exercise band is the long band, used to make an exercise harder, make it easier, or for stretching. These too come in several resistance levels representing different loads.

Long resistance bands:

• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance up to 7 kg
• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance up to 13 kg
• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance up to 22 kg
• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance up to 29 kg
• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance up to 45 kg

We also have extra-strong Heavy Weight resistance bands/exercise bands/strength bands, most often used for learning harder exercises like the MUSCLE UP, or other classic exercises when you're on the heavier side and your weight holds you back. Thanks to their strength, gyms also use them as a safety catch to stop the barbell falling during squats and prevent injury.

• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance 27–68 kg SUPER HEAVY WEIGHT MUSCLE UP 
• resistance bands/strength bands/exercise bands resistance 32–80 kg SUPER HEAVY WEIGHT MUSCLE UP

Another product that provides load in the form of resistance is the resistance rope. For this purpose we've made a brilliant Czech Heavy Weight resistance rope, in two versions depending on how it attaches to the body: a resistance rope with a belt or a resistance rope with a vest.

When you're putting in a session, you want to be sure you can always push it to the max — and that's what Heavy Weight lifting straps are for. They support your grip, and you can even have Heavy Weight lifting straps made with your own print/design.

An amazing tool for strengthening your core, lower body and upper body — arms, wrists and shoulders — is the Heavy Weight battle rope. Similar to the battle rope are heavy balls known as Heavy Weight medicine balls or exercise balls, available in several weight options at the ideal size. Or try the Heavy Weight Bulgarian bags, used by, among others, the wrestlers of the Czech national team.

In the USA, Jirka Procházka does specific training with the HeavyROPE training rope, an all-round tool for training in any sport.

As a hockey player — or simply someone who likes to have fun while training — you can glide along wearing the vest on the slide board , otherwise known as a skating trainer.

Besides resistance-based training, professional athletes and amateurs alike use classic weight-based loading. You can choose from several weight options of Heavy Weight weighted vests, which for instance UFC fighter Jiří Procházka considers indispensable in any training. New in the range are Czech weighted shorts, which besides Jirka are also used by the Czech national football team, Jaromír Jágr and other professional and amateur teams and athletes.

CrossFit, street workout, calisthenics and any other fitness training simply wouldn't be complete without SANDBAGS and KETTLEBAGS, which the army and other services have been using for many years.

When training with exercise/resistance bands, you shouldn't neglect recovery. Muscle recovery is part of every training session, and the Heavy Weight foam roller for example will help you with it.

For a higher level of rehabilitation and muscle release, there is the TOP GUN Heavy Weight massage gun, which releases your whole body in real comfort.

A brilliant accessory for every athlete is our Czech Heavy Weight tactical backpack, which will hold everything you need for:

• training,
• travelling,
• hiking,
• everyday life.

Another great thing is how versatile the weights are — you can also use them in our Czech kettlebags filled with the very same vest weights, for a complete training set-up.

We have three variants of these kettlebags:

• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–20 kg
• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–30 kg
• adjustable kettlebag/powerbag/sandbag Heavy Weight 1–40 kg

NEW in the range are Heavy Weight weighted shorts whose weights are also mutually compatible. 

So you can use Heavy Weight wrist weights or Heavy Weight ankle weights.

Just like the resistance rope, the Czech Heavy Weight running resistance parachute provides horizontal resistance to complement the vertical load of the vest.

Ideally, you'll have both a weighted vest and a weighted dip belt and combine weighted vest training with our suspension trainer or with gymnastic rings in two versions: gymnastic rings with a narrower grip or gymnastic rings with a wider grip. Combine your training with resistance bands or the resistance rope with a vest or the resistance rope with a belt.
