Resistance Band Training: Rubber Band Elastics
If you want to lose weight and get in shape without breaking the bank then a good set of resistance cords will give you a lot more bang for your buck. For the average person an adequate set will run you about fifty dollars. That’s well within reach of most any budget.
Free weights are not only more expensive, they often cause injury to muscles and joints, especially when used improperly. Resistance cords don’t have the inertial capacity to cause injuries like free weights do, and are much safer. That makes them an ideal fitness tool for young and old alike.
Bands are lightweight and simple enough for even children to use. The resistance they provide is proportional to your strength. No matter what your level of fitness is, you’ll get a workout that will leave you feeling great.
And, when you’re ready to move up the fitness ladder, you can simply add more cords for greater resistance. The system is tame enough for new moms and the elderly; gentle on the joints and much less likely to cause muscle injuries. But with the addition of extra bands that are available in various tension levels, it becomes a beast to challenge even the most ardent power user.
Adaptable, portable, lightweight, versatile, and incredibly affordable; could resistance cords be the ultimate in fitness equipment? You bet it is!
