RESISTANCE BANDS
Weight-bearing exercise is important for your health, particularly for muscle and bone development. Resistance bands provide muscle-building tension, and can be used almost anywhere. Bands offer safe and effective workouts, and are often recommended by physical therapists for rehabilitation purposes.
Like free weights or weight machines, resistance bands provide a force against which your muscles must work. This action causes muscles to contract, which stimulates bone as well as muscle growth. Johns Hopkins Medicine recommends the use of resistance bands as one of the safest methods to increase bone strength and help prevent osteoporosis.
10 BENEFITS OF RESISTANCE BAND TRAINING
- Incredibly Cost-Effective: Resistance bands are inexpensive and can be purchased for under $10. Even more extensive kits, which may include DVDs and other exercise equipment, can be purchased for under $40! Whether you buy them individually or as a set, resistance bands are an inexpensive addition to your home gym equipment.
2. Adaptable for Multiple Fitness Levels: Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, resistance bands are for you. They come in a variety of resistances, including light, medium and heavy, and you can further adjust the intensity and amount of tension from your resistance-band by giving it more or less slack. You can even use multiple bands at once to increase the challenge.
3. Used with Familiar Exercises: You can often use familiar strength training moves with resistance bands, which means you don’t need to learn a complicated new routine. For instance, resistance bands can replace the weights you use for biceps curls, chest presses, lat pull downs, or can increase the intensity of your push-ups. Anchor the band to any stationary object, and increase the exercise versatility 10 fold.
4. Whole-Body Exercises: Resistance bands can be used for a comprehensive, full-body workout that challenges virtually every major muscle group in your body.
5. Save on Storage Space: Resistance bands take up virtually no space to store them, which means you can use them at home even if you have very little extra space. When your workout is done, simply stash them in a drawer until your next session.
6. Excellent for Travelling: Resistance bands are lightweight and easily portable. You can stash them in your suitcase when travelling and use them to get a good workout right in your hotel room.
7. Add Variety: Your muscles quickly adapt to movements you do often, which is why adding variety to your workouts is key for challenging your muscles. Resistance bands can be alternated with free weights and exercise machines for ongoing variety.
8. Easy to Use Alone: It’s not a good idea to lift heavy weights without an exercise buddy as a spotter, but resistance bands can be safely used on your own. They’re ideal for exercising any time, at home or on the road.
9. Can Be Combined with Other Equipment: Resistance bands are so versatile that you can even use them along with other training equipment like balance boards, stability balls, the BOSU and suspension trainers like the Human Trainer, allowing you to get the benefits of many types of exercises at once.
10. An Effective Workout: Resistance bands are incredibly simple, but they’re also extremely effective at working your muscles. Additionally, resistance-band training can help you boost stamina, flexibility, range of motion and more.
