On our website you will find several types of bands and tubes. This can make it difficult to determine which one has what purpose. In this blog we explain all about our bands and tubes and the best ways to use them, so you can get everything out of your own training and that of your members!
Flex band
The LMX1115 Flex band is ideal for various group lessons! The flex band is delivered on a roll of 12m and can be cut to size according to your own wishes. This makes the flex band extremely suitable for various exercises. The Flex band is available in three levels:
light (yellow)
medium (purple)
heavy (blue)
The heaviness of the exercises is very easy to adjust by making the band shorter or longer. In addition, the sessions can be made lighter and heavier by adjusting the number of repetitions. Try to make series of 10 repetitions, or 15-20 repetitions to make the sets heavier.
With the flex band you can make a varied program with alternating arm muscles, leg muscles, shoulder muscles and abdominal muscles.
Mini band
The LMX1116 Mini band is ideal for numerous exercises or variations in training! The mini band is a small but effective training aid that fits in every bag and is therefore particularly suitable to take with you on a trip. But the mini bands are also ideal for the gym, studio, at home or while exercising outdoors.
A mini band can be used in training coordination, to stabilize certain joints or to improve the mobility of the body. But the mini band is also useful for strength training, pelvic floor training and endurance exercises. The exercises with the miniband are often simple, because the band is mainly used to intensify classical exercises (such as glute bridges or squats).
The mini band is available is four levels:
- level 1 - very light (yellow)
- level 2 - light (green)
- level 3 - medium (orange)
- level 4 - heavy (blue)
For the addition of resistance to lifts, mini bands are not suitable. For that purpose, we advice you to check out the LMX1181 mini resistance bands.
Resistance bands
The LMX1180 Crossmaxx resistance bands are also ideal for numerous exercises. Resistance bands are high-quality elastic fitness bands that allow you to train your whole body anytime and anywhere. By using resistance bands you can, among other things, increase your strength, improve your flexibility, improve your muscle definition, lose weight, or recover from an injury.
These bands have a fixed length of 104cm and are available in 6 different resistances.
The biggest difference between Resistance bands and mini resistence bands is the length and the resistance. Where resistance bands are particularly suitable for stretching / warming / body weight exercises, mini resistance bands are suitable for creating extra resistance during weightlifting.
LMX1180 Crossmaxx® resistance bands are available in the following levels:
level 1 (red) - B13.4mm
level 1.5 (black) - B22.2mm
level 2 (green) - B28.6mm
level 3 (orange) - B44.5mm
level 4 (blue) - B63.5mm
level 5 (purple) - B82,6mm
Mini resistance bands
The LMX1181 Crossmaxx® Mini resistance band set (8pcs) is a short version of the LMX1180 Crossmaxx® resistance band. With the Crossmaxx® mini resistance band set, it is no longer necessary to shorten the resistance bands, or to tie them to the correct tension on the tire pegs during lifting. Mini resistance bands, on the other hand, are not suitable for assisting with exercises such as pull ups and ring dips due to their length.
In addition to being able to use them with the LMX1744 Crossmaxx® Lifting platform, you can also use them for extra resistance on the deadlifts by connecting the bar under the foot.
The mini resistance bands, besides being ideal for lifts with resistance, are also perfect for countless other exercises! Think for example: exercises for that perfect round booty, bench presses, hip thrust exercises, stretching, agility and much more.
The mini resistance bands are also available in the sets HEAVY (4 pieces) and LIGHT (4 pieces).
Bands for glutes
Hip band set
The LMX1117 LMX.® Hip band set (3pcs) is a perfect tool for training the entire lower body! Our LMX.® Hip bands are of high quality to withstand many tough workouts.
The bands will not move or curl during training due to the anti-slip edges inside the bands. The LMX.® Hip bands are suitable for beginners to advanced users, due to the 3 different resistances in the set. The Hip band set is ideal for a complete lower body workout; both as a main workout and for warm-up. The three resistance bands come with a bag. This also makes the set ideal to take with you on holiday or to take your own set to the gym.
Booty bands
The name says it all, but these are the ultimate booty bands! The LMX118 LMX.® Booty bands (level 1-4) resistance bands are specially made to train the lower body, with an emphasis on the glutes. The LMX.® Booty bands are of high quality, so don't be afraid to use them often!

The Booty bands are available in four different levels: from beginners to advanced. The Booty bands are also ideal to take with you on vacation or to the gym. You can use your own band and keep training wherever you are. The biggest difference between the Hip bands and the Booty bands is that the Booty bands are sold separately and the Hip bands per set of 3.
Training tube
The LMX1170 training tubes are perfect for group lessons but also for PT, Small Group training, physiotherapy and rehabilitation! The training tube makes it possible to train with your own weight, in very different locations. The training tube offers sufficient opportunity for a full body workout!
Training tubes make it possible to train with a continuous tension on your muscles. You also activate more muscles than, for example, with a machine, because the training tube makes the training more unstable.

All known exercises are possible with the training tubes, such as the reverse fly, side raise, resisted pull ups, stiff legged deadlift, overhead tricep extensions etcetera.
