How do I use the door anchor?

Place the door anchor over the top of a closed door, then attach the band through the loop. Ensure the anchor is on the opposite side of the door from you to secure it during exercises.

Can I replace a broken band?

The bands are not user-serviceable. If a band breaks or becomes damaged, it is recommended to replace the entire set to ensure consistent resistance and safety.

Are resistance bands safe for beginners?

Yes, but consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. Start with the lightest band and focus on controlled movements. Never release a stretched band and keep them away from children.

How do I clean the resistance bands?

Wipe the bands with a damp cloth using mild soap if needed. Do not use harsh chemicals. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent deterioration.

What exercises can I do with this set?

The manual details eight exercises: Bicep Curls, Cross Body Reach, Squats, Core Twist, Super Pushup, Lunges, Upright Row, and Tricep Extensions. These target arms, legs, core, shoulders, and chest.

How many reps should I do per set?

It varies by exercise. For arms exercises like Bicep Curls, aim for 8-12 reps. For legs exercises like Squats, do 16-20 reps. Always rest between sets and listen to your body.

Can I use the bands for stretching?

While not specifically designed for stretching, you can use the lighter bands for assisted stretches. However, avoid overstretching and always maintain control.

What should I do if I feel pain during exercise?

Stop immediately if you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or sharp pain. Consult your doctor if pain persists. Some muscle soreness is normal after workouts.

How do I increase resistance?

Use a higher-resistance band or adjust your position relative to the door anchor. For some exercises like bicep curls, you can also stand on multiple bands for added tension.

INSTRUCTIONS

Important: Before You Begin

Before starting, you should consult your doctor to ensure you are medically fit to begin an exercise program. In the event of chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness or pain you should stop exercising immediately and call your doctor. As with all strength training, your muscles may be sore after an intense workout. Most of the time this is normal and can even be a sign that you had a great workout. However, if the pain is prolonged you should take a break from working out and call your doctor.

Before starting a workout, make sure that you are dressed appropriately in athletic clothing and footwear. Always ensure movements with Tribe Fitness resistance bands are performed in a controlled manner. Never let go of a resistance band when it has been stretched. These resistance bands are serious pieces of fitness equipment. They are not toys. Always keep resistance bands out of reach of children.

Verify that your set comes with all the following before use

Your Tribe Fitness premium resistance band set comes with a set of handles and ankle straps, 1 door anchor, 1 Storage bag and the following resistance bands:

Colour	Strength	Level of resistance
Yellow	Extra Light	3 - 5 lbs
Green	Light	10 - 15 lbs
Red	Medium	15 - 20 lbs
Blue	Heavy	25 - 30 lbs
Black	Extra Heavy	30 - 35 lbs

Bicep Curls

Time to get buff! Stand up tall with feet shoulder-width apart and a band placed under both feet. Grip the handles with your hands down at your side and your palms facing forward. Keep your elbows fixed to your sides while slowly curling the handles up toward your shoulders. With the handles up near your shoulders, pause and squeeze before slowly lowering the handles back toward your hips.

Repeat for 8-12 reps and then take a short rest between sets.

Cross Body Reach

Like a lumberjack swinging an axe! Place a band under your right foot or use a door anchor. Hold the handle with both hands down by your right hip. Slowly lift both arms while rotating your entire body to the left against the resistance. Finish with both arms high on your left side. This exercise will work your shoulders, core and back.

Repeat for 8-12 reps before switching to the other side and performing the exercise in the opposite direction.

Squats

Tone your legs and bum, stand up tall with the band looped under your feet. Hold the handles at shoulder level and keep your arms as fixed as you can. Squat down low, keeping your back straight and push your bum out. Pause before pushing yourself back up slowly using your legs.

Your legs and bum are naturally stronger than your arms, so aim for 16-20 reps when doing squats. As always, take a short rest between sets.

Core Twist

Way better than sit-ups, Use the door anchor to hold one of the bands. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart or even sit down in a chair. Grip both handles with hands closest to the door and rotates your upper body and hips away from the anchor. You can adjust your distance from the door anchor to change resistance or simply pick a different colour band.

This one gets your obliques! Use this exercise liberally to target those love handles, 16-20 reps per set is an idea.

Super Pushup

Not for the faint of heart! Attach both ends of a single resistance band to one handle. Loop the resistance band through your left hand and hold the handle in your right hand. Assume the pushup position with the band wrapping around your shoulders/upper back.

Do as many slow, controlled pushups as you can with added resistance. An excellent chest and triceps workout can be achieved with about 8-10 reps with a short break between sets.

Lunges

More killer bum toning! Nothing can tone your bum like squats and lunges. Place a resistance band under your right foot and hold both handles with your palms facing up. Start with your feet staggered one infront of the other. In a single motion, bend both knees until your left knee nearly touches the ground. Slowly return to the starting position, but as you do, curl your arms, stretching the resistance band and adding more resistance for your legs to overcome.

Upright Row

One of the best shoulder exercises! Place a band under your feet. Cross the handles and grab one handle in each hand. With your hands by your waist, slowly pull your hands up toward your shoulders, while raising your elbows toward the ceiling. At the same time, shrug your shoulders.

8-10 slow and steady reps are best for this one. If you do it slow enough with the right resistance band, you will feel this one working in no time!

Tricep Extensions

Complete your arms workout! Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and loop a resistance band under your feet. Descend to a half-squat, keeping your back straight and grasp on one handle in each hand. With your upper arm fixed, extend your forearms backwards until your arms are straight. You can do triceps extensions with either arm at once or one arm at a time.

8-12 reps with a break between sets are a great starting point to exercise your triceps!
