What stops most women from working out? Burnout. Failure. Not knowing how to execute exercises, as well as not feeling good about themselves and thus not wanting to go to a gym. After training women for nearly 40 years, I wanted to create a system that abolished all of these reasons and gave them back their confidence. I have a personal reason why I turned to resistance band training after 32 years of using weights and spending 5-10 hours a week in the gym. Several accidents and congenital challenges have made it near impossible for me to hold 15-25 pound dumbbells in my hands comfortably or confidently. Afraid they may slip out of my grip due to some mild neuropathy, I turned to the #1 tool every rehab office used to help me and millions of others — resistance bands.
Resistance bands offer incredible results, due to their linear force and can be done anywhere. On the beach, in your office, on a boat, in a small apartment, dorm room or mobile home…… And as opposed to big bulky training equipment, resistance band equipment, such as, tubes or the POWHERBANDS™ kit, can be tucked away when not being used. PowHERbands™ do double the work! The bands are soft, comfortable and do not squeeze or pinch skin like other bands. No workout routine is complete without some form of resistance training, in my opinion, not to mention one of the key advantages for your mind.
12 Benefits of Resistance Bands
These inexpensive exercise tools are a convenient option for people of any age or fitness level. But don’t let their simplicity fool you. Resistance band exercises are surprisingly effective and offer many benefits over traditional free weights.
1. GET A COST-EFFECTIVE WORKOUT
An inexpensive addition to your home gym equipment.
2. ADAPT EASILY FOR MULTIPLE FITNESS LEVELS
Resistance bands come in multiple resistance levels, usually light, medium or heavy. You can further adjust the amount of resistance during exercise just by giving more or less slack on the band, as well as by combining multiple resistance bands to increase the challenge.
3. MODIFY FAMILIAR EXERCISES
Resistance band exercises are often based on familiar strength-training moves.
4. EXERCISE YOUR WHOLE BODY
Various types of bands support different exercises. Most resistance bands are made from either cloth, elastic, and latex.
5. SAVE ON STORAGE SPACE
When you don’t have a lot of room for a home gym, resistance bands are a great option that store in very little space.
6. EXERCISE ON THE ROAD
Because they are so small and portable, resistance bands are a great way to take your workout with you when you travel. There are many resistance band exercises that can easily be done in the small space of a hotel room.
7. ADD VARIETY TO YOUR WORKOUTS
Variety is the spice of life. The powHERbands™️ set offers over 36,000 workout combinations so you’ll never get bored.
8. EXERCISE SAFELY, EVEN WHEN ALONE
Resistance bands offer strength training without the risk of dropping a heavy weight on your foot or crushing your fingers between weight plates (happened to me SO many times).
9. GET A SUPER EFFECTIVE WORKOUT
10. STRETCHING & MOBILITY
Resistance bands are great for both post-workout stretches, as well as pre-workout mobility work. Typically, you are limited during stretches by your level of flexibility and range of motion, and many effective stretches even require another person to provide pressure to the muscle. Instead, you can use bands to assist with stretching to extend your reach and provide pressure, such as with lying down hamstring stretches. PowHERbands are also excellent for mobility work, such as improving ankle and hip mobility for squats.
11. CONTINUOUS TENSION
One of the main advantages of resistance band exercises is the ability to provide continuous tension throughout the full range of motion. With free weights, there’s always some part of the movement when you don’t work straight against gravity. For example, when doing a biceps curl with dumbbells there’s almost no resistance when you get close to the shoulder. With elastic ropes there’s always resistance in every phase of the movement.
12. LESS CHANCE OF INJURY
According to StrengthandConditioningResearch.com, training with elastics bands provides similar and sometimes even greater muscle activity as weight training. One major difference is that is involves a lower amount of force on the joints, which means that more stimulus can be provided to the muscles with less chance of injury. This is also good news for anyone with existing injuries or joint pain, because resistance bands may allow you to continue working out and performing exercises that you can’t with dumbbells.
I’ve been using and perfecting these bands for over 5 years, I guarantee you’ll love them as much as all of our members or your money back!
