Resistance Band Exercises

Resistance Band Exercises:A resistance band (or theraband) provides resistance exercise.
What is resistance you ask; and how does it work for exercise?
It's weight bearing exercise without using weights.

The development of muscle tone and strength, is caused by microscopic tears in muscle fibres. When a fibre istorn, in the process of repairing itself, it will grow stronger. This is what is referred to as “anabolism” which means "to grow" and this is what happens with resistance exercise. And we don’t need anabolic steroids to do it!

What are the benefits of resistance exercise?

We lose 2.25 kg of muscle every decade after age 30.The number of muscle fibres declines with age. From age 30 to age 70 we can lose more than 25% of strength fibres.. Resistance exercise can slow down or even reverse this process.

How do I do resistance exercise?

Pilates studio equipment is resistance equipment. The reformer, cadillac, and the wunda chair, all use systems of pulleys and springs to create resistance.If you prefer, small inexpensive equipment such as the magic circle and Stability Ball, are fantastic. This page however, is devoted to resistance band exercises which will help provide you with an excellent fitness regime.
