**Comment:**
Great article! The comparison between yoga bands and resistance bands is really insightful, especially with the 2025 market projections. Iβve been using resistance bands for strength training but recently started incorporating yoga bands for recovery. One question: How do the material differences (latex vs. fabric) impact flexibility and durability in the long run? Iβve noticed my resistance bands wear out faster, so Iβm curious if yoga bands hold up better with frequent stretching. Also, for someone focusing on deep stretching and mobility, would a hybrid approach (using both) be more effective? Would love to hear othersβ experiences with this! #YogaBandVersusResistanceBands
