Adidas Resistante Tube - Level 1 - 5kg

Adidas Resistance Tube with handles – level L1, 5 kg resistance

The Adidas Resistance Tube is a training tube with handles that lets you create full-body workouts almost anywhere. According to adidas, the resistance tubes help you strengthen and tone both the upper and lower body. This product is level L1, offering 5 kg (11 lb) of resistance – the lightest of the three levels in the range. The tube is lightweight, durable and versatile, and suits use at home, on the go and while travelling. There is a near endless list of exercises you can do with a resistance tube, so one small piece of equipment lets you add variety to your workouts even when dumbbells or a barbell are not at hand.

TPR tube and foam-padded handles

The tube is made from TPR, a thermoplastic rubber that adidas describes as strong and tear-resistant. Consistent resistance throughout the movement keeps the exercise smooth and easy to control. The handles are foam-padded and made with recycled PP webbing. The soft handle is comfortable and gives a firm grip, and unlike the knurled surface of a dumbbell or barbell it does not rub your palms. Resistance is marked in both kilograms and pounds, making it easy to compare the level with exercises you have done with weights.

How to use?

Hold both handles and stretch the tube with a controlled movement, then let it return slowly to the starting position. You can use the tube for exercises such as biceps curls, shoulder presses, rows and squats by placing the middle of the tube under your feet. The further you stretch the tube, the greater the resistance, so you can also adjust the load by changing your grip and position. Before every workout, check that the tube and handles are intact.

Who is it for?

The Adidas Resistance Tube L1 suits those who are starting resistance training or prefer a lighter load, for example for warm-ups, shoulder and arm exercises or higher-repetition workouts. The light, compact tube is a good choice for people who train at home, travel a lot or want to take training equipment along in a gym bag or suitcase. More experienced athletes can use level L1 as an additional tool for lighter exercises where higher resistance is not needed. If you need stronger resistance, the range also includes 10 kg (L2) and 15 kg (L3) tubes.
