What are the benefits of exercising with resistance bands?
- Flexibility and convenience: Fitness bands are lightweight and portable, easy to pack in your bag, and you can exercise with them anytime, anywhere.
- Comprehensive muscle strengthening: Fitness bands increase resistance during exercise, making your workout more effective and engaging different muscle groups, including those deep seated muscles.
- Band resistance levels: There are several levels. Select the resistance that matches your strength, progress or current fitness and mood.
- Variety of movement: You can do pull-ups, squats, lunges, push-ups and many other exercises with a resistance band. You will strengthen different muscle groups in a targeted way and you will also have fun while exercising.
How do you choose a resistance band?
When choosing a resistance band for strength training, consider the following factors:
- Band type: There are round bands (i.e. joined into one unit) and bands with separate ends (expanders with handles). Round bands are great for exercising the whole body. Expanders with handles are great for exercising specific muscle groups and allow for more precise resistance control.
- Degree of band resistance: Choose the resistance that matches your individual ability and progress. If you are a beginner, choose a lower resistance at first and gradually increase the resistance.
- Material of the band: Exercise bands are usually made of latex or a textile material. Latex resistance bands are elastic and provide higher resistance, they are more suited for advanced athletes and more intensive training. Textile resistance bands are soft to the touch, gentle on the skin and more suitable for those just starting out.
Tips for exercising with a resistance band for strength training
- Before exercising, warm up the muscles with a light stretch.
- Follow the correct exercise technique and posture.
- Start with a lower resistance band and gradually increase the resistance as you gain more strength and stability.
- Perform different exercises and focus on different muscle groups.
- Mix up your exercise routine regularly to stimulate your muscles and achieve better results.
- After exercising, do a final muscle stretch to minimise muscle fatigue and improve recovery.
