Build Muscle, Stay Toned, or Lose Weight w these Exercise Bands!
As a Personal Trainer (and a customer) I'm happy with these Resistance Bands. As a Personal Trainer: When you're using Resistance Bands you're demonstrating a type of training called "Dynamic Resistance Training." This refers to the fact that throughout the entire movement resistance is being applied to the muscle that is being worked. A Biceps Curl is a perfect example. When using a resistance band for a biceps curl at the top of the movement (meaning when your arm is up towards your shoulder) there is still resistance being placed on the muscle because of the elasticity of the band. If you were doing the same biceps curl with a standard free weight barbell, at the top of the movement there is little to no resistance being placed on the muscle. This is the beauty of Dynamic Resistance Training. The muscle is being placed under constant tension. At some point you may find that there is not enough resistance when using any one individual band, but no worries! Just combine a couple of bands to increase the resistance! As a Customer: I like having a set of bands around for when I can't get to the gym or I am traveling. Everything easily fits in the bag that is included and they are compact. It's very easy to switch positioning or add bands thanks to the quick release clips. I enjoy using bands with handles versus the therapy bands that are used by Physical Therapists or Yoga instructors. Those tend to pinch the skin, and it's definitely harder to get a good workout in! These bands almost feel the same as working out in the gym with the cable machine.
