What Do Resistance Bands Do?

Resistance bands, also known as exercise bands, are extremely versatile and can be used to spice up virtually any workout. There are lots of benefits alongside strengthening and building muscle, including the following:

• To reduce chance of injury: Resistance bands create less force on the joints than weight training, limiting the risk of injuries. This is also great for users with existing injuries, as it enables a quality workout without using dumbbells. 
• For rehabilitation: Bands provide a range of resistance levels to target specific muscles. This is useful for users recovering from an injury, or seniors who want to improve their flexibility and range of motion.
• For more exercise options: There's only so much you can do with dumbbells, but resistance bands can be used vertically or horizontally to open up a wider variety of moves and techniques. 

How To Use Fitness-Mad Resistance Bands

Resistance bands are great for adding resistance to bodyweight or weighted workouts. They are also perfect for Pilates or similar toning mat exercises, to add an extra challenge to regular moves like squats and mountain climbers. Take a look at the video below for a sample of the Pilates exercises that can be performed with this resistance band.

Which Strength Is Right for Me?

The Fitness-Mad Resistance Band is available in 3 strengths (each sold separately), so you can easily find the one that best suits your needs . Different strengths are suitable for different applications:

• Light: The lightest band is ideal for those new to resistance training, or for use in therapy and when recovering from injury.
• Medium: This is suitable for those familiar with resistance training or who are reasonably fit.
• Strong: Feeling super strong? The third band is perfect for anyone looking to add an extra challenge to their workout.

How To Take Care of Your Resistance Band

Resistance bands are made of latex, an organic natural substance that will break down and deteriorate over time. To reduce speed of deterioration, the band should be protected from the following:

• Extreme temperatures
• Chemicals
• Perfumes
• Sweat and moisture

Resistance bands should be laid flat and dusted with talcum powder from time to time. This prevents the rubber from sticking together when warm and will aid the process of tying and untying the bands.

Please note that these products contain latex. Do not use if you are allergic.
