- 1. Resistance Bands are made out of strong, thin rubber and they come in various sizes and resistances. They are great multi-purpose exercise tools that can help improve your fitness. You can use resistance bands exclusively or you can combine them with other exercise equipment. They can also be used for mobility/stretching or for strength training.
- 2. Resistance bands allow you have resistance in the horizontal plane and everywhere else in between. Performing exercises in a horizontal plane will mimic more functional movements and will better prepare you for daily tasks such as turning your body while carrying a heavy box.
- 3. Resistance bands provide a unique challenge for your muscles when it comes to strength training. Bands offer progressive resistance. What this means is that, as the range of motion of the exercise increases, the resistance provided by the elastic equipment increases.
- 4. A crucial advantage that resistance bands offer is that it limits the use of momentum while trying to get a weight to move. It's harder to "cheat" when using bands. The only way to continue a movement while performing an exercise with elastic resistance is to utilize more muscle fibers in the exercising muscle to continue stretching the elastic material. More muscle activation = more muscle adaptations = more strength gains.
- 5. A program that uses elastic resistance can provide benefits that are not offered by free-weight resistance programs such as: more functional strength, better injury prevention, greater ability to change muscle emphasis during exercises, greater muscle power development and easier use. From the beginners to the experts, anyone can benefit from resistance bands.
Resistance Bands are perfect for: -Improving muscle tone; -Increasing flexibility & strength; -Strengthening stabilizing muscles; -Preventing injury or assist in injury rehabilitation; -Rehabilitation after injuries or treatments
