]]> In addition to being small, light, and compact, resistance bands are also highly versatile pieces of equipment if you know how to use them effectively. Here are some resistance band exercises that will give you a full-body workout.

Tricep Kickbacks

Start this exercise by standing on your resistance bands with your feet shoulder-width apart and proceed to lean forward while keeping your spine straight. Bend your elbows to a 90-degree angle and lift the resistance band up behind you until your arms are straight before lowering back down again. This workout targets your triceps, back, and glutes while requiring resistance from your core.

Front Raise

Once again, start your exercise by stepping on your resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your abs tight as you lift your arms up to shoulder height before gradually lowering back down.

Bent-Over Row

Using the usual starting point, lean forward while maintaining a straight back and solid core. With your arms nearly straight, start to bring them up to your torso until your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle before lowering back down.

]]> For many of us, working out at home has become the new norm, but it doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with it sets of challenges. At the gym, we had access to heavier weights, making lifting and building muscles much easier. And at home, our equipment is really limited. Luckily, all you need to make your workout more intense are resistance bands! Just loop them onto a dumbbell, kettlebell, or barbell and get to lifting. Here’s why you should add resistance bands to your weights.

Adds Load

Adding resistance bands to your weights creates the feeling of extra load that you would get from heavier weights. In order for your muscles to grow stronger and bigger, you need to keep pushing them past their strength threshold by lifting heavier weights, adding more reps and sets, or changing the tempo and intensity of the exercise.

Increase Tension Through Movement

By adding resistance bands, you’re increasing the tension during the exercise, which demands more control, especially during the downward phase of the movement.

Increase Range of Motion and Perfect Form

If you struggle keeping proper form or activating the right muscles during an exercise, resistance bands can help correct these patterns and increase your range of motion.
