Resistance Bands
Beginner, Intermediate
Resistance bands challenge your muscles in a different way than traditional free weights. Bands use what is called accommodating resistance to eliminate momentum as your progress through the concentric phase of the movement. As an example, a dumbbell curl will get easier at the top of the curl because momentum has taken over to help move the weight. With resistance bands, the resistance increases at the top of the curl which eliminates momentum and forces the muscles to continue to work. Try this full body resistance band workout using just one long band, handles optional, to improve strength and gain lean muscle mass.
