While most people usually think of free weights and bulky exercise machines as methods of working out,stretch bands are a good way to add variety to your exercise regimen. Although no exercise method works the same for everyone, stretch bands provide convenient resistance training for anyone that is willing to use them.
What Are Stretch Bands?
Stretch bands are commonly referred to as resistance bands and look like large rubber bands. They are a convenient and inexpensive form of exercise equipment that can be used anywhere, anytime. Stretch bands are available in a variety of colors, tension levels and other options, such as those with handles, figure eight’s and double bands.
How Stretch Bands Work
Because the stretch bands provide the resistance that is necessary to build muscles and tone fatty areas on your body, there is no need to use weights during your workout. Stretch bands can be tied around pillars or staircases to make chest presses and seated rows simple. They can also be used on their own, such as when doing bicep curls or squats. For additional options, you may find it useful to purchase a how-to video or search here at 3FC for exercises that can be done while using the stretch bands.
