A Resistance Band
Can Be A Real Bargain

Resistance band training is one of your most affordable and versatile exercise options, a very portable alternative for muscle building and all around fitness.

Here's the beauty of it all: Nearly any weight training movement can be duplicated with exercise bands. And because they are compact and portable, they are perfect for travelers.

Seniors especially often prefer bands because they tend to be easier on their joints than free weights and some exercise machines. However, this does not mean at all that they are only for older trainees. Many young amateur and top professional athletes use and recommend them, too.

Bands can be integrated into a weight training routine or used for variety and periodic breaks from regular weight-room workouts; or they can be used exclusively in an around fitness program.

Generally, the bands are color-coded according to resistance level, ranging from extra-light resistance to extra-heavy. A beginner or someone in rehabilitation of course starts with light resistance. The very strong and fit can attach several bands at once to the handles and get a challenging workout.

Though inexpensive compared to other resistance training options, the quality of the bands should be your top consideration. Shop for quality and they will serve you for a long time.
