THE ONE DIFFERENCE THAT MATTERS

More money buys heavier weight, not a new design

Walks, Pilates, easy days

1 lb is the cheapest Bala at $55 in the US. Same band and fit as the heavier ones.

— Nbcnews

Toning arms or legs

3 lb costs $79 and adds a harder workout. The 3 lb band is nearly three times as thick as the 1 lb.
