Top 5 Reasons Why Resistance Bands Give the Best Workouts

Top 5 Reasons Why Resistance Bands Give the Best Workouts - POWERBANDS®

What is the definition of Resistance Training? We hear this phrase tossed about a lot without really understanding what it is and how it may help overall health and fitness. You'll note that many of our free online workouts revolve around Resistance Training, which has been proved necessary for maximum muscular strength and growth.

What Is Resistance Training?

Resistance training, often known as strength training or weight training, involves particular muscles contracting against an external resistance. Dumbbells, resistance bands, or even an old car tire - anything that results in muscles contracting is a form of resistance training. In this post, we will discuss Resistance Training using a Band and its advantages. Resistance Training is more likely to improve strength, power, hypertrophy, and endurance when practised frequently.

The 5 Main Benefits of Superband Exercises

The advantages of resistance band exercises are the same whether you use superbands or old-school resistance tubing.

Extremely Convenient

While dumbbells give a powerful pull and weight machines are sturdy and straightforward to use, none of them quite compare to a resistance band's versatility. With only your band in tow, you can execute a band squat and transition immediately to a bicep curl, all this without needing to pull out another piece of equipment from the shelf. You may also make a resistance band lunge followed by an overhead press. The options are limitless.

Effective Muscle and Strength Building

Yes, you may still make gains in your backyard! When your muscles flex against the band, they are working hard and efficiently to expand. If you notice that the weight is becoming easier to push against, raise the tension by using a thicker band - just like you would on the gym floor with a heavier dumbbell. As long as the stimuli (in this example, your body's strain on the band) is suitable, your muscles will get an incredible workout!

Take Them Anywhere

When you have guests around, it can be such a hassle to hide the treadmill. The same goes for dumbells, which need to be stowed in a safe and durable container. Not resistance bands. Bands are light, stretchy, and don't take up much space. 

Whether it's your handbag or gym duffel, all you need to do is fold your bands in place, and you're good to go. You can also take bands anywhere, whether it's to the workplace, in your suitcase luggage, or just plain moving around the house.

Refine Your Form and Control

Lifting heavy on the rack is sometimes better training than working with dumbbells since you have a guaranteed degree of form and consistency.

The more 'free' you get with your weights, the more effort you'll need to put in to regulate your movements to ensure they're done correctly. Doing more free-weight exercises will ultimately help you grow stronger. 

Doesn't Cost Much

That's correct. You don't have to spend $5,000 on a home gym. Resistance bands are cheap and can even be purchased for less than $20! Even if you purchase numerous strengths of resistance bands, your expenditures will stay modest. It's more difficult to justify not investing in resistance bands when the price is so low! What are you still waiting for?

Conclusion

One of the primary advantages of resistance bands is that they help you gain muscular growth and tone. However, if you are not a beginner, they are not the most valuable equipment in this field. Weights will help you bulk up faster than resistance bands since they are more high-impact and put more significant pressure on your muscles.

If this is your aim, start with resistance bands, graduate to weights once you've mastered them, and keep using them to maintain endurance!
