Why use Bodylastics Resistance Band Exercises ?
Resistance Training Anywhere !
As a personal trainer I am always looking for ways to create new and fun
workout for my clients. One way to spice up personal training sessions
is to get out of gym for outdoor workouts especially in California where the
weather is nice.
Outdoor workouts always sounded good in theory until it came down to
lugging hundreds of pounds of equipment across the city. Bodylastics
solved this problem.
The Bodylastics TO Bands allowed me as a personal trainer to grab and
literally run to the nearest park for personal training training sessions
that opened up a whole new door for my clients and improved my service as a
personal trainer.
Bodylastics are Tough in 2 ways:
1. Bodylastics are made very well with
reinforced ends which allow them last for a very long time with proper care
(don't leave them in the sun!).
Other resistance bands which I paid good money for always seemed to break
with heavy use. Bodylastics are designed to stand heavy use over time.
2. The clipping feature of Bodylastics resistance bands
allows you to add up multiple resistance bands to provide very tough
resistance if needed.
It is safe to say that the Bodylastics which are purchased around $100
provide enough resistance for any human being on the planet.
What are Bodylastics Bands Like ?
Bodylastics bands are made of various sizes of surgical tubing.
At each end of the (tube) resistance band, there is a carabiner which
tells you the amount of resistance in which the band provides.
The Bodylastics handles are very high quality and comfortable.
Similar to the handles you get with a $3,000+ weight machine.
Depending on the package you may receive up to 4 handles, a door anchor
and ankle/wrist straps.
What are Bodylastics for ?
Bodylastics Resistance Bands can serve for Many Functions
First of all the resistance provided by tubes or bands is different from
that of free weights and body weight.
Since the material which makes up the bands stretches, the further the
band stretches, the more resistance is provided. This is useful because there will be the most resistance
towards the end range of motion of each exercise.
This is good because the end of the range of motion is often neglected
while using free weights and Bodylastics band exercises allow you to really
contract the muscles fully. Bodylastics can also be added to traditional strength training
barbell exercises to increase the resistance towards the end of range of
motion.
Bodylastics can Provide very Light to Heavy Resistance
You already know that the Bodylastics TO bands (Super Strong Man Edition) allows
you to create enough resistance for even the strongest people in the world.
This does not mean you cannot use these bands for light weight as the lightest
resistance is 3lbs which is great for the weaker muscles.
You can use Bodylastics to achieve a Variety of Health and
Fitness Goals
Resistance band exercises are simply another form of weight (resistance)
training which allow you to build strength, muscular endurance and help tone your
body.
If you think there are only a few resistance band exercises you have
sadly mistaken as you can substitute bands for free weights, create exercises on the fly or simply add on to
exercises existing in your workout program.
What are some Resistance Band Exercises you can do with
Bodylastics ?
Bodylastics by themselves provide more than enough resistance and versatility to
create tremendous workouts. You can work all your body parts and
transitioning between exercises is vey easy.
Here are just a small sample of the exercises which you can do with nothing more
than Bodylastics resistance bands and a door.
And Many More!
Looking to Buy Bodylastics ?
These videos use high tension Bodylastics which allow for extremely heavy
as well as light resistance.
Don't make the mistake of only buying a cheap resistance band which is made to
break with limited wear.
Cheap resistance bands not only snap easily but they do not allow you to achieve
the necessary tension. Sufficient tension is needed especially for
functional exercises with your large muscle groups to increase strength and get the best results.
Your best option is to get Bodylastics TO Bands which allow you to add and
subtract multiple resistance tubes to create extremely heavy and very light
resistances.
If you do not need the heavy resistance option which comes with TO Bands you can
