When it comes to strength training, most of us stick to the usual free weights and machines or we may venture over to the cable or free motion machines at the gym. What you don't see a lot of is work with resistance bands.

They're a great way to workout while you travel or add variety to your usual routine. Loop resistance bands can used for speed and agility training, CrossFit, bodyweight exercises, Strongman training and also for stretching and mobility. Just choose the right band and exercise and the possibilities are endless.


    The resistance feels different. When you use free weights, gravity decides where the weight comes from, so you get more resistance during one part of the movement (such as the upswing of a bicep curl) than the other (the downswing). With bands, the tension is constant, which makes it feel harder.  


    Are Resistance bands as challenging as machines or dumbbells? With weights, you know exactly how much you're lifting. With bands, you can only go by how it feels and the tension on the band. That doesn't mean you're not getting a good workout, though. If you use good form and the right level of tension, your muscle fibers won't know the difference between weights or bands. Plus, bands offer more variety because you can create the resistance from all directions--the side, overhead, below, etc...


    Know how to use them. It can be confusing trying to figure out how to use a band. Keep in mind that you can perform the same exercises as you do with free weights--the difference lies in positioning the band. For example, you can stand on the band and grip the handles for bicep curls or overhead presses. You can attach it to a door and do lat pulldowns or tricep pushdowns. You can wrap the band around a pole for chest exercises or shoulder rotations.
