Let Me Help YOU Choose bands For Your Boot Camp
Choosing
the right bands for your Boot Camp or group training will obviously vary
based on your clientele. Below
are guidelines I have created based on my experience using bands in my Boot
Camp
Recommendations for choosing Bands for Group Training or Boot Camps
Females primarily train in
a pair of mini or monster mini bands for all upper torso strength training
Recommendations – 1 Pair of Bands Per/client
2. 90% of camp
participants can run in a double link light band set up
Recommendations – 2 light bands per client
for independent stations or 1 light band per person for partner training
3.
Handles are highly recommended
especially when doing upper torso training with mini or monster mini bands
Recommendations - 1 Pair of handles per
client
4.
Accept for the first 2-3 introductory sessions,95% of my clients
training in light bands for all lower torso lunge training.
Recommendations - 2 light bands per client
for independent stations or 1 light band per person for partner training
5. Mini bands work best
for trunk reaction training
Recommendations -
1 band and 1 handle per client
6. Tug of war training
works best in average or light bands
Recommendation-
1 average band or 1 light band or 1 light and mini band combination
per partnership
7. Partner resisted
running will be light bands for females and seniors.. and Average bands for
males
Recommendation –
A linked band set-up using average bands or light bands
8. Runs outs are best done
in light bands or lower
Recommendation – 2 Light bands for
intermediate or advanced clients and 2 monster mini bands
for beginners or less coordinated clients.
Set-up using linked set-up.
If training in partners you will need 1band per person.
9. Single bands circuits
are usually done in mini or monster
mini for upper torso and lights for lower torso.
Recommendations -
A light or mini band per person
10. Band utility straps
are a must when training in a park or if you need to use doors

Recommendations
If training in a Park
you want to consider using
Band Utility
Straps (BUS) to help protect your bands against fraying
Guideline…….1 Band utility
strap per band station
If training in a gymnasium
partner training will be more effective.
However if you have access to doors using a
Band Utility Strap
may be very helpful to set up stations
Guidelines……1 Band Utility
Strap per Available Door or solid metal attachment site like bleachers.
