I’ve been using resistance bands for 20 years, and they are some of my favorite workout gear. Bands started out in physical therapy, but trainers and athletes saw the benefits of bands when not in rehab. There are advantages of using resistance bands over weights: bands have a variable level of resistance through the range of motion, unlike weights, which are constant. Bands are safe to use in ways that weights aren’t always–you can use a fast or slow motion when working with bands, and you can create resistance in any direction and in multiple dimensions. They’re also much more portable and less expensive than weights. For an example of great ways to use resistance bands, check out my video on YouTube below!
