Picture this like picking weights at the gym. Try a lighter band for a few reps of a move you know well, then see how awkward it feels by rep eight or ten. If your form starts to wobble or you can barely finish, ease back a level. If it feels too easy, bump up the tension a notch. Keep a small file or note with the moves you do and which bands felt right, so you can revisit them as your body gets stronger. If you have pain or questions about muscle balance, check in with a physical therapist just to make sure you are loading safely.

Start by testing bands during a basic squat or row, choosing one that feels challenging by reps 10 to 15 while keeping perfect form, no tugging or bending. Use lighter bands for slow control work, heavier as strength improves, and swap every few weeks to keep progressing. When unsure, have a trainer check your tension and alignment.
