Train with Resistance Bands at Home

Sometimes, you just can’t make it to the gym. Maybe the weather is bad, maybe you’re not feeling well, or maybe you just can’t afford a membership. That’s ok. You can make some serious progress working out at home if you have the right equipment. We recommend every home should have a set of resistance bands.

Here at FEI Retail, resistance bands are one of our favorite products. They are easy to use and versatile, making them almost too good to be true. Plus, if you drop one you’re not going to do any damage to your floor or your foot. Also, if space is an issue, a set of resistance bands takes up barely any space.

Need more reasons to invest in a set of resistance bands? Here are 10 reasons from our friends at Positive Health Wellness:

1. They’re the cost-effective option – You can get a full set of resistance bands at a low cost. They are also often packaged with home exercise programs. Plus, you don’t need to purchase extra equipment to store your bands, just fold them up and that’s it!
2. They’re perfect for every fitness level – Resistance bands are perfect for those just starting to exercise or for professional athletes. Resistance bands often come in color coded strength levels so it is easy to tell when you are progressing.
3. They’re perfect for every part of the body – Resistance bands offer a full-body workout without the need for a lot of equipment. A durable band, like CanDo® Band, can be stepped on, tied, untied, looped, and pulled and still be functional. By adding accessories, like handles or anchors, you can also make them more comfortable to use.
4. They’re a space saver – Living in a tiny apartment in the city? Trying to work out in a dorm room? Resistance bands are the solution. They take up less space and are easily stored no matter where you go. You can have eight different exercise bands and it will take up less space than a DVD.
5. They’re easy to travel with – Going on vacation? Spending the day at park? Resistance bands won’t add any extra weight to your bag. They’re easy to take to the beach or to use in a hotel room. As long as you know what exercises you want to do, you’ll be able to work out anywhere!
6. They’re a good alternative – Maybe you’re used to using free weights at the gym, but you get stuck at home during a snow storm. There’s nothing wrong with using resistance bands for strength training when you don’t have access to free weights.
7. They’re easy to use alone – Some gym equipment is best used with two people. For example, if you’re using a bench press, it is probably a good idea to have a spotter in case you drop the weight on yourself. If you drop a resistance band, you’re not going to get hurt. Just make sure to check your band for rips or holes before using it so it doesn’t snap back at you.
8. They’re used for more than strengthening muscles – Resistance bands can help you improve your flexibility and stamina. Use one to help get a good stretch before starting your normal fitness routine.
9. They’re easy to accessorize – As we mentioned above, pairing resistance bands with handles or anchors will allow for more versatility and a greater range of motion while performing exercises.
10. They’re easy to incorporate into body weight exercises – Take a push up for example. Loop an exercise band around your shoulders for added resistance while performing a typical body weight exercise. Add them to other exercises, such as squats and lunges, to kick your training up a notch.
