Today I want to discuss One of My Favorite Exercise Tools that can be used ANYWHERE…
Resistance bands are a fantastic product that you can use for…
-home workouts
-hotel workouts
-park workouts
-anywhere….be creative!
Here’s what Resistance Bands have to offer…
1 Portability. Take them ANYWHERE.
2 Large variety of exercises. You can do endless exercises with bands because you can change your positioning and the angle of the band in multiple ways on the fly. You can do every single exercise you can do with free weights plus many more.
3 Easily switch from one exercise to another.
4 Easy to set up. Bands can be attached to a door or a banister or step on for INSTANT workout capabilities
5 Provide a total body workout.
6 Bands constantly engage your CORE. Both Upper and Lower body exercises will require you to engage more of your core in order to stabilize against the resistance.
7 Create resistance from ALL angles. Front, behind, side, low, high, overhead, below…every possible angle.
8 Progressive Resistance. The more you expand the band the harder it gets. Resistance Bands are the ONLY exercise tool that offer this.
9 Increased coordination. Due to progressive resistance, stabilizers come into play much more.
10 Great for all fitness levels.
11 Inexpensive. Most bands are between $20-70 for a set
12 Color-coding for the different tension levels (light, medium, heavy, very heavy)
I’ve used several different brands of bands including…
-Dick’s Sporting Goods
-Target
-Spri
-Bodylastics (you know the one’s Terrell Owens “supposedly” uses)
…however in my opinion…
Here’s why Resistance Band Training – Bands are My Favorite Resistance Bands…
1 Continuous bands. These offer even more variety than regular bands. A continuous band is a loop.

2 Higher tension bands. This means that ALL levels (kids, moms, elderly, & advanced athletes) will find these bands challenging.
3 Training Handles. Interchangeable to quickly add handles to ANY BAND.
4 Utility Strap. Allow you to attach your bands to any door within seconds.
Resistance Band Buyer’s Guide
I have been using resistance bands with my clients and myself for over 10 years. Here’s what I recommend when you decide to purchase Resistance Bands.
1 Buy at least 3 tension levels – light, medium and heavy. This ensures all muscle groups will have adequate resistance and continue to progress in strength.
2 Stronger bands must be bought online. You will plateau the resistance bands you find in discount stores and local sporting good stores within the first month because of the lack of resistance.
