Light & Extra Light Resistance Bands
Sometimes less is more. The Extra Light Resistance Band (5–15 lbs) and Light Resistance Band (10–30 lbs) are your go-to tools for building strength safely, improving mobility, and keeping workouts joint-friendly.
These bands are perfect for beginners, warm-ups, recovery, or anyone who wants to add smooth, controlled resistance without bulky equipment. The Extra Light band helps you master form and activate stabilizers, while the Light band delivers enough challenge for squats, presses, rows, and core work.
Whether you’re starting your fitness journey, cross-training with yoga or Pilates, or just want a travel-friendly gym in your bag, these bands are the perfect place to begin.

Only thing I can use without pain. I love this bar!!! I've had 4 lower back surgeries and 1 cervical spine fusion. I've been to different gyms and tried all sorts of exercises, and the XBAR is the only thing I can use without any pain. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good workout without hurting yourself more. Best purchase ever.

Perfect Addition To A Home Gym. I was looking for a resistance barbell to go with my adjustable dumbbell set and the XBAR does not disappoint. The feel of the XBAR is great, it's very comfortable in any position. You can feel the durability while using it, there is no flex in the bar at all..

Very Comfortable Sturdy Bar. Highly recommend it over straight x3 bar. Easier on wrists and with short tube type bands and a couple of straps you can perform a lot of exercises.

Absolutely Worth It! Quick delivery was a huge plus. As someone who has used iron weights for 45 years, these bands add another dimension to my workouts. My days of heavy lifting are over after multiple shoulder surgeries but the iron and the bands still keep me in decent shape. I would recommend the XBAR to anyone at any level looking to expand their lifting regiment. And you don't need to leave home.

Senior Airman in USAF Review I've had the xbar for a week and I love it! It is so easy to travel with, I am able to do squats, ab, back, and arm exercises must easier than before. I work out mainly in my bedroom and it is so convenient.

Solid product, gets results XBAR has the advantages of being of high quality, supports a variety of exercises for each body region, and has a critical advantage of having no set up time. They've effectively eliminated 3 common excuses for not exercising. The other advantage it has had for me is that I tend to focus less on "how many plates" I'm using and have obtained gains.

Travel hero Love the ability to take this workout on the road. I travel weekly and to have the flexibility to work out in the hotel room at anytime. This is super convenient and I get a great workout. Game changer for my work week.

Very nice bar Allows for both regular and close grip arm and shoulder exercises. Bar has a nice rubberized covering that makes gripping very comfortable. Worth the money for someone looking to use bands, either as their primary piece of equipment or as an alternative to barbells or dumbbells.

Best Bar on the Market I am really happy I purchased this wonder workout system. Did my first workout and I was so sore the next day. If you are on the fence don't be, with this system it's just the right amount of resistance. Looking forward to using it for many years to come.

Great piece of fitness equipment This workout equipment is ideal for individuals who want to perform a complete body workout at home. The multi-functional bar allows users to perform various exercises such as dips, pull-ups, push-ups, and more. Additionally, the bar is lightweight and compact, making it easy to store when not in use or to carry when traveling.

Fat burning zone during strength exercises. My first time using the the XBAR and my HR was between 130 and 140 bpm. The resistance on the bands is legit. Looking forward to using the orange band!
When it comes to resistance training, not every workout calls for maximum tension. Sometimes you need precision, control, and just the right amount of resistance to master your form, target smaller muscles, or recover with intention. That’s exactly why we created the Extra Light Resistance Band (5–15 lbs) and the Light Resistance Band (10–30 lbs).
These two bands may be the “lightweights” of the XBAR lineup, but don’t underestimate them—they’re essential tools in any smart training program. Whether you’re a beginner building strength from the ground up, a yogi adding extra tension to mobility work, or an athlete looking to fine-tune smaller stabilizers, these bands deliver unmatched versatility.
Extra Light Resistance Band (5–15 lbs)
Think of the Ultra Light band as your “on-ramp” to resistance training. At just 5–15 lbs of tension, it’s the perfect tool for:
-
Beginners who want to learn correct movement patterns without being overwhelmed.
-
Mobility and rehab work, where control and gradual resistance matter more than load.
-
Warm-ups and activation drills—wake up your shoulders, hips, and core before the heavy stuff.
-
Endurance and toning workouts where higher reps with lighter resistance is the goal.
Light doesn’t mean weak. This band delivers smooth, joint-friendly resistance that grows as you move, keeping your muscles engaged through every inch of the rep. It’s the “gentle entry point” every collection needs.
Light Resistance Band (10–30 lbs)
Need to turn up the challenge but not quite ready for the heavy hitters? The Light band offers 10–30 lbs of scalable resistance that’s perfect for:
-
Full-body beginners’ workouts—squats, rows, presses, curls, and triceps work.
-
Athletes in recovery phases who want controlled resistance without stressing joints.
-
Pilates, barre, and yoga cross-training, adding strength to traditionally bodyweight-only moves.
-
Progression path from Ultra Light—when 15 lbs starts feeling easy, this is your next step.
It’s the bridge between foundational training and more advanced loads. With this band in your bag, you’ll never plateau—you’ll just keep building strength one rep at a time.
Why XBAR Bands Are Different
Not all resistance bands are created equal. Cheap bands fray, snap, and feel inconsistent. XBAR’s bands are made with layered latex construction for durability, smoother tension, and safer performance. They’re designed to pair perfectly with the XBAR bar, door anchor, and push-up docks, giving you a joint-friendly, barbell-style workout that fits in a drawer.
-
Smooth, progressive resistance curve
-
Durable and built to last
-
Compact and travel-friendly
-
Designed for real strength training, not just stretching
Who These Bands Are For
-
Beginners who want a safe, confidence-building start.
-
Women and men looking to add toning and definition with lighter resistance.
-
Anyone in physical therapy, post-injury recovery, or joint-sensitive training.
-
Athletes and lifters who know the “little muscles” need love too.
-
Busy professionals and travelers who want a quiet, portable training tool.
The Bottom Line
The Ultra Light (5–15 lbs) and Light (10–30 lbs) bands may be the smaller siblings in the XBAR family, but they’re indispensable for building strong foundations, activating stabilizers, and keeping your training joint-friendly. Pair them with your XBAR system or use them solo—they’ll fit seamlessly into your fitness journey, whether you’re starting from square one or fine-tuning your performance.
