Use & Safety Instructions

Inspect tubes and handles before and after every use for scratches, holes, tears,
worn areas, stretch marks, discoloration, or loose stitching. If you find any defect, DO NOT USE the resistance tube, and contact ProsourceFit Customer Service for a replacement.
Do not use resistance tubes on concrete or other rough surfaces, which may weaken or scratch the latex. Ensure that all obstructions and sharp objects are removed from the workout area.
Only use resistance tubes as intended and demonstrated in this guide for exercise purposes. Inappropriate use of resistance bands may lead to serious injury, disfigurement or property damage. ProsourceFit is not responsible for any problems that arise from the misuse of this product.
Resistance tubes are not a toy or plaything. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN, pets, or any individual who may require supervision.
Before each use, ensure that the tube is securely attached to the handles to avoid injury from a tube slipping or snapping. Always use extreme caution to protect your eyes when using the resistance tubes.
NEVER RELEASE THE RESISTANCE TUBES or handles while under tension. Sudden release will cause the tube to snap and can cause significant injury, disfigurement, or death.
Do not stretch the tubes to more than 3 times their original length. Carefully return back to their original length before releasing.
Never wrap the tubes around your neck, mouth, head, shoulders, or torso.
Always use a strong anchor point such as a closed door or sturdy piece of equipment.
Begin all exercises slowly and use smooth, controlled movements and tension when pulling and releasing the resistance tube. Test out each exercise slowly before performing a series to ensure the tension is correct and handles are securely attached.
Begin your workout slowly to build strength and stamina, especially if you are new to exercise. Do not perform exercises that are beyond your ability to maintain control.
Stop exercising immediately if you experience discomfort, nausea, dizziness, or pain. See a physician immediately if you experience chest or stomach pain, palpitations, or difficulty breathing.

Care Instructions

Wipe with a damp cloth to clean. Do not use soap or other cleaning products on bands, as it may damage and/or weaken latex.

Start with one foot on the middle of the tube & hold handles at shoulder height.

Bend your knees and lower toward the floor, stopping just before your back knee touches the floor. Both legs should be bent at 90 degrees, and torso straight & tall.
Do not let your front knee extend past your toe. It’s okay if it does a little but if it does extensively, pull back your front knee further behind your toe.
