Kettlebell Kings

Loops bands or hips loops are used for conditioning and strengthening the hips and thighs.  Compared to their rubber counterparts, aka, the mini-band, loop bands are heavier weight and more durable.  Loops bands are also easier to put on than mini-bands.  Alternatively, mini-bands are less expensive and better for lower resistance exercises.  If you are serious about glute training, both should be in your training toolbox.
