Did You Forget About Resistance Bands?

Resistance bands can often be overlooked for strength training, frequently getting passed over for free-weight options. It is a shame, because resistance bands can be such a great tool in so many different ways. 

Resistance bands can be more versatile than a set of dumbbells, and because they are cheaper, more portable and lightweight it is certainly easier to travel with them for those limiting hotel room workouts on-the-go. If you aren't incorporating bands into your current workout regimen you are definitely missing out of that aspect of functional fitness.

Can you do a full-body workout with one resistance band?

Yes! Try this 20 minute circuit with intervals of 30 seconds work and 15 seconds rest. Try to keep your intensity up for the full 30 second intervals and don't worry about counting reps.

  • Shoulder press
  • Lunges
  • Seated Rows
  • Standing Biceps Curl
  • Split Squats
  • Overhead Triceps Extensions
  • Chest Press
  • Squats

You can also use both bands and weights simultaneously. When you lift weights the load never changes, but if you loop bands on your bar, the bands will increase in resistance as they stretch . . . then as you apex out and begin the eccentric negative motion, the bands will be pulling the bar down toward you, putting you in the position where the control of the negative becomes harder and more effective.

how to buy resistance bands

Remember, not all resistance bands are created equally. The band needs to be able to tolerate the amount of stress that you plan on subjecting to it.  We recommend stopping in to one of our retail locations and speaking with an expert about what band(s) would fit you best for what you are trying to achieve, and how to maximize the variety of things you can do. From door attachments to household items you can use in combination with them, we would be happy to demonstrate many different exercises and answer any questions you may have about our resistance bands.

At G&G Fitness Showrooms, we strive to carry the highest quality products in the industry. Bands ranging from light to medium to heavy resistance used efficiently and properly will provide you with an inexpensive and portable solution to your strength needs for many years.

  • Resistance bands are great for those who want to exercise at home, or who like to take their workouts along when they travel, but their value doesn’t end there. There are many benefits to these simple exercise tools, including versatility, convenience, safety, and effectiveness. The more you learn about the advantages of resistance band exercises, the more you’ll be motivated to add them to your own home gym.
    I have been tracking this industry for quite some time now, as a PHD Scholar. I have done a Workshop on this in Ontario and met David, a business analyst who offered me a sample copy of his recent publication. You can read it here

    Also, you can ask for a free sample copy if you assure them you will not use it for business purpose.
