Looking for an affordable piece of gym equipment you can use at home but is lightweight enough to pack in your gym bag or suitcase? You'll love the POPSUGAR 3-in-1 Resistance Cord ($22) — it weighs just 0.8 pounds! Using a resistance band for strength-training exercises is great for beginners because you can practice proper form for basic moves, but if you're more experienced, you can go for the heavier band because there are three levels of resistance included. Keep reading to see close-up pics of the 3-in-1 Resistance Cord and learn how to use it effectively to tone your muscles.
What Does the POPSUGAR 3-in-1 Resistance Cord Come With?
When you open the box for the POPSUGAR 3-in-1 Resistance Cord, you'll see three separate resistance cords (light, medium, and heavy) attached to two handles. It also comes with this handy exercise guide sheet that shows examples of exercises you can do with your resistance cord.
What Is the POPSUGAR 3-in-1 Resistance Cord Made Of?
The three bands that make up the 3-in-1 Resistance Cord ($22) are made of latex, and the handles are made of a soft, comfortable, slip-resistant foam.
How Do I Use the POPSUGAR 3-in-1 Resistance Cord?
Since there are three separate bands offering three levels of resistance — light, medium, and heavy — you can easily switch the cords based on the exercise and the intensity you want. I love that if the heavy band doesn't offer enough resistance for certain moves, I can couple it with the light band to make it more challenging.
The moves I love to use this for are bicep curls, triceps extensions, lateral raises, shoulder presses, squats, lunges, and deadlifts. But I also like to attach the band to a high-backed stool and do a pallof press to target my core. This band can also be used for stretching my hamstrings.
Resistance-Band Workouts
The exercise guide includes six moves and a workout to get you started. If you're ready for more, try these:
