The secret of successful resistance training is to constantly
challenge your muscles by increasing the resistance level,
number of repetitions or sets. Also known as progressive
resistance, because you are continually demanding more
work from your muscles, they are forced to adapt by getting
stronger. Most tubing manufacturers make several levels of
resistance:
the thicker the tube, the more the resistance. Each level of
resistance is designated by a different color. The colors are
not standardized from manufacturer to manufacturer, but as a
general guideline the lighter colors are lighter resistance and
the darker colors are heavier resistance.
