Resistance Band Training

Resistance bands have been gaining popularity in the fitness industry for their relatively low cost and the flexibility they can bring to your training programmes.  Resistance bands are not just for strength training (weightlifting and powerlifting), they can also be used for speed and agility training, jumping, aerobics, stretching, general conditioning/fitness, rehabilitation, and the list goes on.  The bands can be used in conjunction with accessories such as band handles and band chain attachments.  The bands come in different lengths, widths and thicknesses, which determines their pound resistance.

Are resistance bands good for strength training?

Resistance bands are big elastic or fabric bands that are great for strength training and improving balance, flexibility, and mobility in the body. They help build muscle, improve physical function, and strengthen bones. Plus, you don’t need heavy weights or an expensive gym membership. In fact, resistance bands can effectively replace traditional weights, offering advantages such as constant tension, versatile resistance in multiple planes of motion, and easy portability.
