According to Mark Anderson from The Hygenic Corporaton: &#8220;The Thera-Band\u00ae is Proven effective &#8211; over 500 research studies have been performed on the product for use in physical and occupational therapy, and most are documented at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thera-bandacademy.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">www.thera-bandacademy.com<\/span><\/a> web site.&#8221; What you may not know is that aside from it&#8217;s therapeutic use in rehab, it is also used in general home fitness programs for resistance training (upper and lower body) with people of all ages! . Many studies have cited the importance of doing regular resistance training to reduce your chances of developing Osteoporosis. In addition, regular resistance training promotes increased ROM (range of motion\/flexibility), muscle endurance and increased muscle mass and strength which in turn  raises your metabolic rate. Fitness experts recommend doing resistance training 3 times a week. Alternating upper and lower body exercises by not working the same group of muscles 2 days in a row will allow your muscles time to recover. It is essential to maintain a good posture throughout your Thera-Band workout so that you exercise the correct muscles and reduce the chance of injury. A therapist or skilled fitness trainer will be able to provide guidance in this area.<\/p>\n<p>Thera-band\u00ae is a fantastic product which is very affordable and ultra light weight, making it a breeze to continue your resistance training when you are on the go and when traveling! The Thera-band\u00ae is available in a 8 colors\/resistance levels making it easy to upgrade as your muscle strength and endurance improve!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Color                Resistance<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(204, 153, 51); font-weight: bold;\">Tan:                                Extra Thin<\/span> (beginners can start on this end!)<br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 51); font-weight: bold;\">Yellow:                 Thin<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;\">Red:                                Medium<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;\">Green:                   Heavy<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;\">Blue:                             Extra Heavy<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Black:    Special Heavy<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;\">Silver:       Super Heavy<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Hygenic Corporation sent us latex free samples of the Thera-Band\u00ae.
