Thera band hand exercisers - resistance level?

Post Reply New Topic

Hi,

I am thinking of getting one or two of those Thera band hand exercisers for use as a stress ball/stimming toy. Does anyone here use them? What resistance level did you choose?

Thanks,

My advice is, try to get an opportunity to play with the difference resistance levels before buying. That way, you'll know which one to get.

I agree with the above poster.

However, I recommend using a stronger one than what you would normally feel comfortable with, especially if you are going to use them to de-stress.

I can't tell you how many times my Thera band has saved me from a meltdown - it's so strong that I pull it when I'm angry and all the tension just LEAVES.

I find that only the strong ones do that. I rarely use my yellow one, which is the weakest. I currently use red if I'm on the verge of a meltdown, and green if I'm already in one.

But that's just me.

I'd get multiple ones personally. That's what I did with my theraputty,is get a set of all 6 different colors.

Thanks for the replies. I'd definitely try them out if I could, but I live in a regional town and don't know anywhere that sells them, so I'm restricted to ordering them online.

I think it's a good idea to get a selection: perhaps one each of red, green and blue.

Blue is super-strong - just so you know.
