Uses Non-latex band set, beginner
How to do it
1 of 11A closer look
Non-latex band set, beginner
Three flat bands, easy to hard, in latex-free material, which matters if latex has ever left your skin blotchy. Flat bands loop around a thigh or anchor under a foot without needing a handle to grip.
Why we carry this one
Non-latex matters when thin skin meets latex and reacts, and a beginner gets three levels rather than one that is already too hard.

FSA/HSA with a doctor's note — what this means
You can pay for this with your FSA or HSA once a doctor has written that you need it for a specific condition. That short note is called a Letter of Medical Necessity.
Ask whoever already treats the problem: your GP, a physical therapist or a specialist. Keep the note with your receipt; you don’t send it to us.
We can’t confirm what your own plan covers. Your plan decides. Full details (opens in a new tab)

Others in Strengthening
Clip-on pedometer
$27.97
One button, one number, a battery measured in months. It clips at the waistband and counts steps from your hip, which is where a step is most reliably detected, and it keeps counting whether or not you look at it.
Why this one: Clips to a waistband and shows a number. No phone, no pairing, no charging.
Gaiam soft walking weights
$23.97
Weights that stay put without being gripped. The strap takes the load across the back of your hand, so your fingers can stay relaxed while you walk, which is the whole point if holding on is the tiring part.
Why this one: Soft weights on a strap, so nothing is gripped: the hands stay out of it and the weight still counts.
FSA/HSA with a doctor's note
Interval timer
$35.97
A timer that beeps at both ends of an interval, loudly, from across the room. Big buttons, one job, and no phone involved. Set the work and the rest, then forget about counting.
Why this one: Counts intervals out loud, so the exercise is timed by the room instead of by watching a clock.
