SPRI Xercuff Leg Resistance Band Exercise Cord with Non-Slip Padded Ankle Cuffs, Blue, Heavy : Sports & Outdoors

Description

Until the early 1980s, rubber resistance products were mainly used for physical rehabilitation purposes. Then SPRI introduced the SPRI Xertube with looped tubing handles for upper-body use and SPRI Xercise Bands for lower-body use. These products allowed instructors to easily and cost-effectively lead large groups in resistance training for health, fitness, and performance applications. The demand for rubber resistance products — and the ever-expanding training needs of instructors — quickly grew in the ’90s. The industry continued to push for more advanced products. SPRI started producing 'dipped' tubing, the purest and most resilient form of rubber tubing available (compared to weaker 'extruded' tubing). SPRI also added more specialized features to new and existing products. For instance, hard and foam covered handles were added to the Xertube, cuffs were added to increase comfort and keep the Xercuff in place during use, and rings of tubing were made to withstand higher resistance demands. Today, all SPRI rubber resistance products are still put through the most rigorous controlled testing available, including extensive trials in the field. The entire SPRI team, including the advisory committee and instructors, is constantly out there, visiting firsthand with those who use the products the most and staying ahead of the trends in the industry. This allows SPRI to actively explore new ways to continue offering the best, most cutting edge rubber resistance products and applications on the market. At 32 inches the Xercuff is longer than the comparable Lex Loop and is designed to allow you to go multiple directions (forward, backward, side-to-side, diagonal) during your workouts and allow for full range of motion for targeted training. The soft padded ankle cuffs stay firmly in one place with out hurting during exercise and the increased cuff size provides a more secure and comfortable fit for all body types. This unique rubber resistance tool is perfect for lower body toning and strengthening and conditioning hips, thighs, and glutes. At 32", the SPRI Xercuff Leg Resistance Band is longer than the comparable Lex Loop and is designed for full range of motion integrated movement drills and exercises. The increased padded cuff size provides a more secure and comfortable fit for all body types. SPRI rubber resistance products are created using a 'dipped process' rather than the more common and inexpensive 'extruded process' - making it one of the most durable and reliable tubes on the market! All SPRI rubber resistance products are made using Tuff Tube, a SPRI exclusive. This heavy-duty, high quality material has greater resistance to abrasion and tears to stand up to the rigorous demands of professional use. Built to a professional grade quality and designed for commercial gyms and clubs to be used 100 times a day versus 100 times a year in a home gym.
