 | It's amazing how many misconceptions there are regarding resistance band training. So, what's the problem? The market is flooded with cheap and inferior resistance band products. A concern we hear frequently is "they don't offer enough resistance" or "they snap or break". Certainly this is a problem with a lot of resistance band products available today. AccuFitness has a solution, but before we talk about what gear you should be using, let's talk about why you should be training with resistance bands in the first place. Training with resistance bands offers many advantages: |
- Resistance bands do not rely on gravity to generate force. Free weights use gravity and gravity only provides resistance in a vertical plane. However, everyday activities require a variety of movements: from up and down, side to side, and across multiple angles. Resistance bands facilitate training across these multiple planes; therefore, your body is "functionally" prepared for a vast array of movements such as swinging a baseball bat, golf club or tennis racket, playing with the kids, or helping your friend move!
- Not using gravity also means there is continuous tension applied to the muscles being trained. The farther the band stretches; the more tension you also receive from the band.
- Easier to maintain proper technique and not "cheat."
- Linear Variable Resistance - Resistance progressively increases as you stretch the band.
- No spotter required.
We know what you're thinking. This sounds good, but you already warned me about inferior equipment. There is no need to worry, AccuFitness has you covered. We offer Anazao Fitness Gear and Bodylastics Resistance Bands and premium flat resistance bands for all your resistance training needs.
