Resistance Bands As Effective As Weight Machines

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, March 19, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- "Research has shown that resistance band training can give the same benefits in terms of strength gain compared to the use of more expensive weight machines. Resistance band training will also eliminate the limitations of gravity and enables you to isolate muscles and do the same movements in a completely different way," Moal says.

Strength Band Training, a book on the advances of resistance band training, claims that using just one resistance band can help strengthen all most important muscle groups using different exercises. Resistance bands can also be utilized in strengthening particular muscles that cannot be activated using muscle-specific machines.

"Fitness experts say that doing exercise programs at least 6 weeks using resistance bands can help improve strength by 10to 30 percent in young and older adults alike. Other benefits that come with resistance training are lowering body fat, improving power and endurance and increasing muscle mass," Moal adds.

Resistance bands can also provide stabilization training through focusing on core muscles when doing whole-body exercises. "Resistance bands can help exercise different planes and joints when performed in a standing position, so it brings more training to the core muscles compare to using machine-based exercises. It is also harder to cheat when using resistance bands since momentum cannot be used to yank a weight into position," Moal explains.

Resistance bands are more mobile and affordable and provide a versatile workout unlike weight machines. Moal says that varying the number of repetitions, level of resistance and speed of the exercise can create an exercise program for body toning, weight loss and general strength and conditioning. Exercise programs using resistance bands can also be used to improve power, speed and agility.
