Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Red (Light) fall in the Cando resistance progression?
The Cando band system has 8 progressive resistance levels from lightest to heaviest. Red (Light) is one of the entry-level resistances, appropriate for users who are beginning resistance band exercise, recovering from injury or surgery, or working on range of motion and light muscle activation. As strength and endurance improve, users progress to higher resistance levels — Green (Medium), Blue (Heavy), Black (X-Heavy), and beyond. Starting at an appropriate resistance level and progressing gradually is important for safe, effective rehabilitation and conditioning.

How is the 6-yard roll used and can it be cut?
The 6-yard roll provides enough band for multiple individual lengths to be cut from a single roll, making it practical for clinical settings where bands are cut to length for individual patients, or for personal use where the user wants to cut multiple lengths for different exercises. The band can be cut with scissors to any desired length. Common individual lengths range from 4 to 6 feet depending on the exercise and the user's height. The roll format is more economical per yard than pre-cut individual bands.

What accessories are compatible with this band?
The Cando 5" wide band is compatible with Cando handle and anchor accessories, which expand the range of exercises that can be performed with the band. Handles allow the band to be gripped more securely during pulling and rowing exercises, and anchors allow the band to be attached to a door or fixed point for resistance exercises that require a stable anchor. These accessories are sold separately and are compatible across the full range of Cando 5" band resistance levels.

What is the Thera-Band color sequence and why does it matter?
The Thera-Band color sequence is a standardized color-coding system for progressive resistance levels in exercise bands that is widely recognized in rehabilitation and physical therapy settings. Cando is licensed to use this color sequence, which means Cando bands follow the same color-to-resistance mapping as Thera-Band products. This allows clinicians and patients who are familiar with the Thera-Band color system to immediately identify the resistance level of a Cando band by color, without needing to learn a separate coding system. Red corresponds to Light resistance in both the Thera-Band and Cando color sequences.
