How long do resistance bands last?

Quality latex bands last 6–12 months with daily use. Inspect them before each session for nicks, discoloration, or thinning. Store them away from direct sunlight and heat to extend their lifespan.

Can resistance bands build real muscle?

Yes. Research shows resistance bands produce similar muscle activation to free weights when matched for load. They are especially effective for accessory work, rehabilitation, and maintaining muscle during travel.
