The resistance band

A resistance band can be a very versatile piece of equipment if used properly.  It can also make your days of working out very convenient.  Being so small, a resistance band can be tucked into a suit case or duffel bag and taken with you.  They are great for someone who travels or who likes to work out from home and doesn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive dumbbells or other equipment.

Another great thing about the resistance band is the “resistance” that it has throughout the entire exercise.  If you use it correctly, your muscles will be working during both phases of the exercise (concentric and eccentric).  Go extra slow and you’ll see what I mean!

This little tool can make all your fitness troubles go away (that and a little help from yours truly!)
