Resstiance Bands

[littleangelone]

I have been using Resstiance Bands for working out for about a week & have enjoyed using them, does anyone else use them? what has been your experience?

On and off. I like them. It’s better than not doing anything at all.

Resistance bands? Mainly we've used them for either injury recuperation or working small muscles int eh shoulders, etc. for injury prevention. Certainly strength training is good to do, so while they wouldn't be an intense strength workout, they are good for many people who find them the best way to strength train.

Outside of physical therapy they're useful in stretching and Pilates if flexibility is limited.

Most people dont get enough exercise and even less do near enough resistance training. This is especially important as we age and slowly start to lose muscle mass, which in turn lowers our metabolic rate and promotes gaining fat. Any type of resistance work, is good.

I use some for accessory exercises as part of a larger routine.

With a variety of bands you can actually get an effective beginner workout, a step above bodyweight only.

People who do more usually will also use them for travel.

that is a good idea, I might try that, does anyone else use the bands for beginner workouts??

 

[ms.smith]

Not currently, because I'm not a beginner anymore, but I did a quick Google search and found this, it's long and looks informative:

I train alot with free weights and machines, and add resistance bands in for variety to change it up. I use them really just on my legs doing squats and side leg lifts mainly. I do like them.
