Whether for stretching, strength training or injury prevention – mini bands are handy all-rounders and are perfectly suited to effective and intensive full-body workouts. These elastic rubber bands offer a wide variety of workout options, even in the most confined spaces, and are ideal for specifically targeting and training major muscle groups such as the thighs and shoulder girdle, as well as the entire core and stabilising muscles. Mini bands can be easily incorporated into dynamic warm-ups or during recovery phases following injuries. The different colours make them very easy to tell apart. Thanks to their ‘mini’ size, you can easily stow them away in your handbag or sports bag, meaning you can take them with you when travelling. Classic exercises using the bands include, for example, side steps, squats, shoulder stabilisation exercises, etc. Product details Below you’ll find information about our stylish fitness bands with different resistance levels. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team. Length: approx. 20 cm Material: latex Available resistance levels: yellow (light), green (medium), blue (strong), black (extra strong) Which resistance level is right for me? As a general rule: if you want to achieve optimal training results, you should choose a combination of different resistance levels for your workout. On the one hand, your individual fitness level plays a role here, and on the other, it depends on which muscle groups you want to target. If you’re a beginner, the mini bands in yellow and green offer the perfect introduction to training. The stronger the muscle you want to train, the greater the resistance of your mini band should be. Where can I use my mini band? These little bands pack a punch and you can use them anytime and almost anywhere: for stretching and mobility exercises for injury prevention for a dynamic warm-up for progressive resistance exercises as a personal trainer in all areas in individual and partner workouts In school sports and team training at clubs (e.g. athletics training) for stabilisation and core exercises for rehabilitation exercises in strength and bodyweight training For unilateral exercises simply take it to the gym or use it at home use Functional training with mini bands Are you already at an advanced level or a personal trainer? Are classic squats or lunges with resistance bands no longer enough for you?

Upper body, arms, abs, legs, glutes – with the Perform Better Superbands, there are no limits to your training. They are suitable both for high-intensity demands in competitive sport and for effective stretching exercises in physiotherapy. The different resistance levels offer you numerous combination options and allow you to gradually increase your training intensity. Depending on your preference, you can train freely with the Superbands or secure them to a fixed anchor point to generate different training intensities (training stimuli). Why train with Superbands? The basic principle of training with Superbands is clear: the bands are made of rubber, and the further you stretch them, the greater the resistance. The bands pull back towards the starting point at the same time. During each exercise, your muscles must work both concentrically and eccentrically against the resistance generated. Training with Superbands therefore increases your strength whilst providing full muscle stimulation. The benefits of training with Superbands Virtually unlimited variety of exercises Ideal training accessory for dynamic full-body workouts Exponential increase in resistance Increased eccentric load Suitable for all fitness levels Use in preventive care Use in rehabilitation following injuries (e.g. proprioceptive training) Can be used as a supplementary tool, e.g. for pull-ups or push-ups Ideal for stretching exercises Suitable for individual and partner exercises Cost-effective Space-saving training option (indoor and outdoor) Can be combined with other equipment (e.g. to generate increased resistance and additional leverage during weightlifting) What resistance level do I need for which exercise? The resistance level you choose for the Superband depends, on the one hand, on your own physical fitness and, on the other, on the muscle groups you wish to train. The narrower versions are particularly suitable for effective and varied training in sprinting, strength training and athletics. They enable intensive exercises such as lunges, running drills, shuffles, shoulder presses, squats, accommodating resistance training and much more.

Through targeted self-massage, hardened or tense muscle tissue is loosened, adhered fascia is released, thereby restoring an overall sense of well-being. Furthermore, it is perfect for preparing the muscles for an intensive workout, as well as for accelerating and supporting recovery after exercise. The Elite Foam Roller thus makes an important contribution to the prevention of sports injuries. To meet individual needs, it is available in various shapes and lengths. The round versions are ideal for back pain and issues caused by muscular imbalances. They provide rapid relief and, thanks to their soothing massage effect, are ideal for stress relief and relaxation. The sturdy construction and unique structure ensure a comfortable rolling action and ease of use. The semi-circular version is an effective tool for promoting balance and stabilisation and is ideal for use in physiotherapy. The Elite Foam Roller Medium is particularly suitable for beginners and those who are more sensitive to pain. What is fascia? Our entire body is criss-crossed by what is known as fascia. This is elastic connective tissue that surrounds all individual parts (muscle fibres, muscle strands, muscle groups, organs, tendons and bones) . Generally speaking, fasciae serve to provide stability and shape to the areas they enclose. In doing so, they prevent muscles from rubbing against one another whilst also helping to transfer forces from one muscle to another. Adhesions in the fascia are considered one of the main causes of back pain. When the fascia is underused, it becomes matted and brittle. This results in pain and an increased risk of injury. What are the benefits of fascia training with the Elite Foam Roller? The Elite Foam Roller is an ideal fascial tool for the effective treatment of muscle pain, tension and trigger points. Through targeted self-massage, you can achieve numerous positive effects: Promoting hydration (The majority of fascia consists of water. With the help of our Elite foam roller, you can restore hydration in the fascia)Accelerating recovery (The end products of metabolism dissolved in the fluid are pressed out of the tissue through self-massage with the roller. Fresh fluid flows in, allowing the tissue to recover more quickly) Increased flexibility (Regular use of the foam roller can release tightness and adhesions throughout the entire fascial network. They gradually regain their elasticity and you’ll soon notice a significant improvement in your flexibility) Pain reliefInjury prevention (Using the foam roller makes you more flexible, and flexibility helps prevent injuries)Improved blood circulation (Rolling the foam roller along individual parts of your body improves your blood circulation. The oxygen-rich blood can now flow more freely, better supplying your muscles and organs)Relaxation Product details: Here you will find all the relevant product details. If you have any further questions, Perform Better’s customer service team will of course be happy to assist you. Material: polypropylene Diameter: 15 cm Colour: Black Available in various versions/lengths How do I use the Elite Foam Roller correctly? To ensure you carry out your fascia training professionally and, above all, correctly, it is worth acquiring at least a basic understanding of the physiology of fascia and the myofascial pathways, including their specific characteristics. Even as a personal trainer, a sound knowledge of myofascial training is essential these days. In our one-day seminar on Functional Myofascial Trainer Basic, you’ll learn how to integrate training with the therapy roller into your training programme or your everyday life.
