Resistance Bands Benefits
Resistance bands are known by many names including exercise bands, fitness bands, workout bands, and many more. What ever name you use to call them the benefits are the same.
The major reason many people have turned to resistance bands as an added exercise accessory is because of the varying degrees of resistance that are offered and the freedom of movement.
When doing exercised like curls, for example, with dumbbells gravity is pulling the dumbbell down and that is the direction of the resistance. Sometimes you will have to lay on a bench or hunch over or configure your body and some unnatural way in order to work different muscles when doing curls.
If you were to do curls with bands the resistance can come from any direction you would like. You could connect the tubing to something above you, in front of you, to the side, or below you to get the resistance you want for different muscles. That is something you just can not do with free weights.
By allowing you to point the resistance in any direction you are also able to have more natural movement during the exercise. This is something that is very difficult to accomplish with dumbbells and even weight machines.
Another benefit of resistance bands is the ability to take them anywhere you want to go. They easily fit in a back pack, but unlike dumbbells, they do not weigh you down and give you a workout before you begin your workout. And since exercise bands come in varying degrees of resistance, you can take several with you and they will still weigh less than a 5lb dumbbell.
One last benefit that bands have over free weights is the price. Weights can be expensive. A set (two) of 10lb dumbbells can cost around $30, while workout bands can cost much less. They also take up less space allowing you to workout anywhere.
The benefits of resistance bands are the versatility of use, storage, and transport. They allow you to target muscles and work them in different ways. The resistance tubing costs less than free weights and weighs less than weights allowing you to get the bands that can suit you better.
If you have not used bands in your workout routine in the past, now is a perfect time to begin using them. Many are turning to them and sometimes even replacing free weights all together in favor of resistance tubing.
Exercise is important and resistance bands can help make your routine more effective. Add a swiss ball into your workout and get even better results.

With Resistance $12.99 With Resistance: Kris (vocals); Joe (guitar, background vocals); Brian (guitar); Paul (bass); Mike (drums).Recorded at Portrait Studios, Lincoln Park, New Jersey.Personnel: Brian (guitar).Producers: Resistance; Chris Badami; With Resistance.Recording information: Portrait Studios, Lincoln Park East, NJ (12/20/2002/12/21/2002).The ten songs on this self-titled debut full-length from With Resistance seem over before you know it. The band delivers their music and message primarily through a straightforward hardcore sound, with melodic undertones, quality breakdowns, and change-ups ? la Botch. While many might label this New Jersey band as "metalcore," the sound on this album is more diverse than that, and the subtle differences of guitar tones makes them out to be an upfront hardcore band, as opposed to a sludgy metalcore band. Songs that start with delicate acoustic guitar quickly change to full-on hardcore and envelope the listener with it. With Resistance could quite easily be seen as a younger version of Botch, with a lot of room for development, primarily in the creativity area, as many of these songs seem hard to distinguish to the non-hardcore-tuned ear. Nonetheless, it's a quite solid start and leaves the door open for some good growth. ~ Kurt Morris |
