Mini loop bands are the smallest kind of resistance band, and are a thin loop of stretchy material about 12" long when folded. These small bands are also sometimes called booty bands or hip bands as they can be particularly good at targeting your glutes, but there's plenty of ways to target your arms, legs, core, and back as well! They can add a little extra resistance to body weight exercises and also have a lot of pulling options which are harder to work into a no equipment routine. The stretch of resistance bands works your muscles a little differently than working with weights so they're great to mix things up a little. If you are a bit more advanced on your fitness journey they make a great warm up or accessory tool.

Latex rubber mini loop bands are super cheap - you can get a set of 3-5 for under $10, or even pick them up as free swag, but in some positions such as around your thighs they have a tendency to roll up which can be a little uncomfortable. Fabric bands are a few dollars more and are better at staying in place for leg exercises, but tend to have fewer levels of resistance available and aren't as good for upper body exercises as they stretch less. Latex free bands are also available using materials like silicone.

Resistance bands are often color coded within a set, but there's no consistency across brands. Most often they come in bold colors but if you look around you can find a wide range of colors!
