How Much Resistance do Booya Bands™ Provide?
Minimum resistance strength is measured with the Booya Band™ buckled at mid-thigh, with the legs standing straight, and parallel with the hips.
Maximum resistance strength is measured with the band stretched to double (2x) length, (approx. 52 in. / 132 cm.)
Booya Band™ Light provides 5-15 lbs (3-7 kg) resistance.
Booya Band™ Medium provides 10-30 lbs (4-14 kg) resistance.
Booya Band™ Heavy provides 15-40 lbs (7-18 kg) resistance.
(Resistance strength levels are approximate.)
IMPORTANT: Do not stretch any Booya Band™ beyond double (2x) the original length, to keep the elastic and fabric in good condition.
The Science of Booya Bands™
Booya Bands™ make it easy and convenient to strengthen and tone your glutes, hips, legs, and core muscles, but how do they work?
Here are the two most important reasons.
1. When doing any lower body exercise, wearing a Booya Band™ around your legs provides resistance to the legs that increases the Time Under Tension for the glutes, hips, legs, and core muscles.
This increased Time Under Tension leads to more gains in muscle strength, size, toning and endurance, also helping you build muscle while creating a slimming effect around the torso, thighs and hips.
2. The resistance provided by Booya Bands™ stimulates our bodies to utilize our Fascia chain connections-- more effectively linking the muscles of the legs, hips, core and back-- so they all function better.
This improved Fascia chain function helps reduce the negative joint impact of strength training, and can be especially helpful to improve the joints of the spine, hips, knees and feet-- as well as the muscles and fascia around them!
When combined with lower body exercise, Booya Bands™ can help you build strength in the glutes, legs, hips core, and ankles/feet; better strengthen or start to 'feel' your core; increase stability, mobility, and balance, and improve lower-body muscle strength, tone, size, and endurance.
More benefits include increased blood flow to the legs, better balance and lower'body coordination, stronger walking, improved daily living, and reduced pain or inflammation caused by old injuries or imbalances.
Give your workout the Booya Boost™
Resistance Training
No more wiggling in and out of the bands, or hopping around trying to get them over your shoes!
Get more gains from your weightlifting with the instant on-off buckle. Just set up for your chosen exercise, buckle up your Booya Band™, and get the extra strength, size, toning, and endurance benefits that come with it.
Pilates and Core Exercise
Booya Bands™ make it easy to feel the muscles you are targeting with Pilates or mat exercises.
If you have trouble 'feeling' your abs or glutes, the light or medium band will help you feel these muscle groups.
You'll love the seamless touch of resistance that the Booya Band™ brings, which gives you the lift, tone and sculpting benefits that come with Pilates, core exercise and matwork.
Home Workouts
One of the biggest limitations of training at home is that most people usually only do bodyweight training, or very light lower body training with dumbbells. This lower resistance has limited benefits for the glutes, legs and hips.
With a Booya Band™ you feel the resistance in every move, and you can get gym-quality strength & shape in your legs and glutes, with slim & toned hips and core. Just buckle up and play!
Rehabilitation
Booya Bands™ are more convenient and less invasive for therapists to use with patients of all abilities. In addition to the quick-release buckle, the bands look and feel professional. No more pinching or rolling, and the premium materials are designed for everyday use in a clinical practice.
Booya Bands™ make it easy to give your patients more professional care, with less hassle.
Mobility & Functional Exercise
Whether you're warming up for a game or event, or doing your functional training-- like walking lunges, leg swings, squat jumps, bench step-ups, high kicks, or hip hinges-- Booya Bands™ stay in place, and help your body engage the muscles that do these important, athletic moves.
Cardio
With a Booya Band™ on, the results you get during cardio exercise are so powerful, they actually come with a warning.
You need to start by gradually using the band-- just a few minutes the first few days-- then strategically increase the amount of time you use it in subsequent days.
Whether you're an elliptical expert, Stairmaster star, rowing pro or treadmill trooper-- your strength, muscle size, tone, and endurance will increase noticeably (and quickly) when you add the Booya Boost™ to your cardio time.
Chair Exercise
Sit stronger, or try a chair workout with a Booya Band™ around your legs! If you have hip pain, low back pain, or mobility limitations-- this could help you engage the deep muscles and fascia chains that can help you improve.
Yes, you can get stronger while sitting--with a Booya Band™ it doesn't matter if you're relaxing, doing a few squats, or practicing your chair yoga.
