Fabric hip resistance bands

Designed for lower body workouts, these non-slip bands provide consistent resistance for glute activation, hip strengthening, and leg sculpting exercises.

Fabric hip resistance bands are wide cloth loops worn around the thighs or knees during squats, lunges and glute bridges. They suit regular gym-goers and home exercisers who find thin latex loops tend to roll up or pinch.
