You should choose a trip design band for the most basic exercise band. Strip exercise band are wide pieces of rubber cut to different lengths. The strip design is much less expensive than the tube design band.
You need to buy one based on your current strength and
fitness level, not the level you are aiming to reach. Here is a guideline of what to base it on:
extra light (fit-loop, figure
8, therapy band) - rehab, frail people
light
- rehab, some women
medium
- average, untrained women, some older men
heavy
- average untrained men, active women
extra-heavy
- active men, strong women
ultra-heavy (all bands except fit-loop) - strong men, women
bodybuilder

Some great back exercises include the band row, band back fly and band pulldown. Feel free to consult a trainer to properly understand how to execute each of these exercises.
