The Livepro hip bands set of 3 gives you three fabric resistance bands for hip and leg work, in small (32cm), medium (37cm) and large (42cm). They’re elastic with a soft fabric feel and a non-slip inner, and they’re wide, so they stay put on your legs instead of rolling up during a set.
The length of each band sets its resistance. Around the same pair of legs, a shorter band has to stretch further, so it feels harder. The sizes also suit different exercises: you might find the small best for squats and the large best for donkey kicks, which need more range.

Choosing a size
As a rough starting point by body weight:

| Medium | 60 to 80kg |
| Large | Over 80kg |
You may still want a different size for different exercises, which is why the set includes all three.
How to use them
- Hip thrusts: band just above the knees, shoulders on a bench or couch, press your knees out as you lift.
- Band squats: band above the knees, and keep your knees tracking over your toes against the pull.
- Donkey kicks: on all fours with the band above the knees, press one foot up towards the ceiling.
- Side steps: band above the knees, bend slightly and step sideways.
These work the glutes, the inner and outer thighs and the hamstrings. For simple loops you can share in a class, see the Bloom set of 4 loop bands, or browse all our resistance bands and loops. More in our yoga accessories.
