Resistance Band Training

If you are some one who is unable to get to the gym but still want to get an adequate workout the best thing for you then is the ‘resistance band’ training routine. It is also great for people who need to travel a lot.

The resistance band is not really very expensive given the fact that it gives you the freedom to workout at home and you will be saving on all those gym bills. The fact that you can carry it around also has a major advantage when you look at it.

Juan Carlos Santana the owner of the Institute of Human Performances in Florida has also given us some very useful tips on how to use this piece of equipment for maximum benefit.

We will share with you courtesy Juan Carlos an effective way to use the resistance band to build muscle, reduce your fat levels. This will help you stay in shape and all you need is 30 minutes every second day.

Here are two great workouts with the resistance band. The first is called the super-band Squat workout and the other is the Suplex Lift. As stated before take a rest day in between as this helps in keeping the focus and intensity at a higher rate than normal.

We recommend that you work up to a level of doing 4 sets of 10 repetitions each. You can take a 1 to 2 minute break between each set.

Ok here is how you should do the super-band squat. Begin this exercise by positioning your feet shoulder width apart. Take one end of the resistance band and step down on it.

You are currently standing tall. Take the other end of the band in your hands and bring it over your head and shoulders and let it come to rest in the back of your upper back.

Now perform a squat by lowering your hips towards the floor. Prevent your knees from going in front of the toe line. Breathe in going down and breathe out coming up.

Remember the upward movement is when the muscle is being worked. In the suplex lift connect your band to a utility strap. Now secure it under the lowest hinge of the door. Loop an end of the band into the crooks of your arms. Take a step forward to make the band taut.

Feet shoulder widths apart, lower your upper body forward and at the same time bend your legs till your elbows meet the knees. Keep your back normally arched while doing this exercise.
