you are not using the bands correctly. You need to know the correct ways to maximize the use of the resistance band exercises. Many people do not use free weights correctly so the problem actually goes both ways. Not all exercise techniques are created equal. There is are correct ways and incorrect ways to exercise using bands, weights or anything.I could continue on listing the benefits on resistance bands. You may be thinking, "Well I will not get as good of a workout with resistance bands as I would with free weights." In many cases that could be true, unless
"Well if there are correct ways to use these bands then how do I learn?"
Great question. My answer is to get a great resistance band exercise video that you can do from home. Now there is some initial investment with these programs but they will not even cost what a gym membership charges up front just to sign up. So with that let us talk about P90X and 10 Minute Trainer, both by Tony Horton.
Tony Horton is one of the best fitness trainers in the world and these two programs give you two great options. First, the P90X, is an hour a day for 90 days extreme home workout system for those that are serious about getting in great shape and fast. While the 10 Minute Trainer is for those looking for a daily exercise as short as 10 minutes, but keeps you in the best shape of your life.
Both of these programs incorporate the use of resistance bands into the exercise. In fact in the p90x resistance bands are the primary tool used to achieve the amazing results that program can give.
