13 piece leg resistance band set with ankle straps, $52

Buy the leg band set, $52

The leg band set in short

Each band is 30cm long with a stainless steel carabiner hook at each end. You clip the bands between the two ankle straps, and clip on more than one band to make an exercise harder. The set has no handles and no door anchor, so it is for lower body exercises.

The five band levels and how stacking works

There are two bands at each level, colour-coded from extra light to extra heavy. The kilogram figures are the supplier's ratings. Real tension depends on how far you stretch the band, so treat them as a guide to which band is harder, and judge by reps.

Colour	Listed rating	Typical use
Yellow	2.3kg	Side leg raises, fire hydrants, first sessions
Blue	4.5kg	Standing hip abduction, hamstring curls
Red	9.1kg	Kickbacks, donkey kicks
Green	13.6kg	Stronger kickbacks, lateral walks
Black	18.1kg	Stacking with another band for advanced work

To stack, clip two or more bands between the same pair of ankle straps. Yellow plus blue is about 6.8kg on the listed ratings, which fills the gap between blue and red. With ten bands you can build many steps of resistance, so you can move up in small jumps.

Pick the band or stack that lets you do 12 controlled reps per leg, and move up when 15 feels easy.

Exercises the ankle straps are made for

• Standing kickback: hold a chair or bench, keep the hips square and push one heel straight back. Works the glutes.
• Side leg raise: standing or lying on your side, lift the top leg out to the side. Works the outer hip.
• Standing hip abduction: like the side raise but slower, with a short pause at the top.
• Donkey kick: on hands and knees, push one foot towards the ceiling with the knee bent.
• Fire hydrant: on hands and knees, lift a bent knee out to the side.
• Standing hamstring curl: bend one knee to bring the heel towards your seat.
• Lateral walk: band between both ankles, stay low and step sideways.

Because a band connects the two ankles, every one of these moves loads one leg while the other holds you steady. That makes the set good for evening out a weaker side.

A 25 minute glute and leg session

Two or three times a week. Do every exercise on both legs, 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps per leg unless noted, with about 45 seconds rest between sets.

1. Lateral walk, 10 steps each way, yellow or blue band.
2. Standing kickback, red band.
3. Standing hip abduction, blue band.
4. Donkey kick on a mat, red band.
5. Fire hydrant on a mat, yellow band, 2 sets.
6. Standing hamstring curl, blue band, 2 sets.
7. Side leg raise lying down, yellow band, 2 sets of 20 to finish.

When the last reps feel easy, clip a second band on rather than adding more reps. More exercises are in glute exercises at home and the lower body home workout.

Who it suits, and who should pick something else

Good fit

• Glute training at home where you want finer steps of resistance than three fixed bands give.
• Runners and cyclists doing hip and glute strength work. See strength training for runners.
• Travel: the bands and straps pack into the waterproof pouch.
• Small apartments: the set needs about the floor space of a yoga mat.

Pick something else if

• You want something simpler and latex-free. The Fabric Loop Bands (3-Pack) at $30 are cotton-polyester fabric and sit above the knees for squats, bridges and lateral walks, with no straps to clip on.
• You want upper body work or pull-up help. The leg set only clips to ankle straps. The Resistance Band Loop Set (5 Levels) at $59 has five 208cm loops for presses, rows, squats and assisted pull-ups.
• You want heavy squats or hip thrusts. Short bands add tension to single-leg moves. For heavier lifts, a dumbbell pair does more: the 5kg pair is $48 and the 10kg pair is $114.

Care and delivery

Check each band and carabiner for wear before a session, and stop using any band with a cut or thin spot. Keep the set in its pouch out of direct sun and away from heat. Orders usually dispatch within 1 to 3 business days, and metro delivery usually takes 2 to 7 business days after dispatch. Regional and remote areas take longer. See the shipping page.
