Using Thera-bands to Spice up Your Workout

By Mondo Humboldt


Exercising can be a drag sometimes, especially for those who don't already have an exercise routine. Some find it hard to get to the gym, others find it too expensive. Many try to find fast and convenient ways to sneak in a workout at home. The best way to get an inexpensive and optimized workout at home is to include resistance bands, also known as therabands, in your workout routine. According to studies, regular exercise using resistance training will not only strengthen and tone muscles, but will also increase bone mass. If therabands are used correctly and efficiently during a workout, you will be able to see results similar to those seen after using big expensive weight machines at the gym.

When it comes to strength training, some people think that using the usual free weights and machines at the gym is the only way to go. What a lot of people don't know is that therabands are one of the most effective and underrated forms of exercise in the fitness world. Resistive exercise products provide both positive and negative force on the muscles, improving strength, range of motion, and cooperation of muscle groups. If your goal is to build lean muscle mass or lose some unwanted body fat, a good set of elastic bands will help you reach those goals.

One great way to get a good work out if you have an injury or need a low impact for out for your delicate joints is to use resistance in the water. Adding a theraband to water aerobics can drastically improve results. There are a wide range of bands that can be used in the water as well as a wide of exercises that can be utilized depending on the results desired. A certified trainer or therapist will know how to maximize a water workout in an area of the body that might be injured or need improvement. Resistive water workouts aren't only great for highly competitive swimmers, but they can help improve the performance of any athlete who competes in non-water sports.

There are some great benefits to including bands in your exercise routine. If you travel a lot, they are easy to pack and take with you. This way you can keep up with your workout routine from wherever you are. Using bands can increase your coordination as well as get you in better physical shape because you have to stabilize your body throughout the movements, which involves more muscles groups and improves coordination. Therabands also add variety. Weights can limit you as to how many types of exercises you can do with them. Resistance bands allow you to change your positioning in multiple ways. You can create the resistance from all directions, the side, overhead, below, and wherever else you need. Plus, resistance bands aren't as challenging as machines or dumbbells and have a lower impact on delicate joints.

Of course, one of the best things about using therabands is that they are inexpensive! It is easy to grab some bands for under $20 depending on how many you get and where you get them. Also, they are just a one-time purchase, which is better than paying an expensive and reoccurring membership fee at the gym. If you use good form and the right level of tension, your muscle fibers won't know the difference between the bands and those weights and machines at the gym. Overall, therabands are a great way to work out while you travel or add variety to your usual routine!
