Many different band styles will assist with building muscle, reducing pain, and defining your shoulders, however the unique design of the X-Over Bands by FitCord, along with the accurate resistance levels, and high quality rubber tubing underneath assures you will get the most our of each exercise or rehab session.

When crossed over each other, the focuses group of muscles moves from the larger muscles in the shoulder to the smaller supporting muscles. This allows you to not only build your shoulder strength in all of the larger muscles of your back, but also build the smaller supporting muscles such as the rotator cuff. Because you are building BOTH at the same time, you will see a change in the amount of shoulder pain you are having, a faster path to total rehabilitation after and injury, a much lower chance of creating a new injury and the strength to lift more weight with your shoulders.

We did not mention the definition these bands create, because it goes hand in hand with building stronger shoulders. Because you can accomplish this quickly, you will see faster results when it comes to shoulder and upper back definition organically.

What resistance band should you choose for general exercises? Well, that would depend on the exercises you plan to do, what is more comfortable for you and what your end goal is.

In the end, most resistance bands are designed to be for specific areas, exercises or muscles groups. When looking for a general fitness band, it can become overwhelming and expensive.

FitCord Offers 2 different styles of Full Body Exercise Bands.

• FitCord Original Bands- This is a 4 foot covered resistance band with padded handles sewn in on each end.
• Body Sculpting Bands- This is a 4 foot covered resistance band with handle clips on each end, allowing you to change the handle/cuff/strap quickly and easily, as well as stack more than 1 band on those attachments. This gives you the ability to control the way the band behaves and the resistance level you are using quickly and easily.

You can choose the correct band by simply making a clear fitness path and buying the band style that will follow you down that path and function as you need it to in each new phase. Having a plan in place will save you a great deal of money, and buying a resistance band like FitCord bands that lasts for 5+ years will also save you a lot of money, not to mention frustration.

There are several types of rehabilitation bands to choose from. The first step in any resistance band search for bands to continue your rehabilitation at home is to ask your Physician or Physical Therapist. Show them the options you can afford or prefer to use, and let them tell you which style would be best for your specific situation.

Having said that, There are primarily 4 types

• Rubber Band Loops- These are large thick rubber bands that typically come in 2 sizes, large and small.
• General Fitness Bands- These are bands such as FitCord and Body Sculpting Band Styles. They are typically 4ft long with a handle of some kind.
• Rubber Ribbon- This type of band comes on a roll and resembles ribbon. Many Physical Therapy offices use this type of "band" because it is disposable, and each patient has a clean, never used "band"

Once you have been provided information from your doctor or therapist, you can then start the journey in finding the right band style, but if you have only used one style and you are not happy with that style, then what?

Well, at this point you need to look at what suits your needs. Are the rubber band style options pinching your skin? Are they too long or too short? Do they hurt your hands during use?

Do the ribbon style bands break during use or come untied? Are you allergic to Latex?
