Looking for the best resistance band workout available? We got you covered!

A Full Gym – the Size of a Shoebox

If you can’t afford a gym membership, or hate driving to the gym, but are determined to get into shape, we highly recommend resistance band training. You can get the same benefits of lifting weights – the strength, the toning, and the weight loss, all with resistance bands.

With Bodylastics, you will get the same workout that you can get at a gym. Because resistance bands are so versatile, the exercises you can do are only limited by your imagination.

Now, we know not everyone has the know-how to come up with their own exercises (nor should you). That’s why Bodylastics comes with 140 of the top gym exercises, which you can now do at home – anytime and anyplace. Order Bodylastics with the just the training manuals, or throw in the DVD for even better instructions.

All Resistance Bands Are Not Created Equal

You can easily buy resistance bands at your local sporting goods store. But which ones do you buy? How many? What does the tension mean and what if the tension is too much or too little?

The problem with regular resistance bands is that they only offer one level of resistance. What happens when you get stronger, or are doing an exercise that requires more resistance than you have available?

The beauty of Bodylastics is the ability to adjust the resistance to any level. You can produce the weight equivalent of 5lbs, all the way up to 127lbs (or double with the T.O. kit), and everything between.

That’s more than enough for anybody. Even strong weightlifters will see the benefits of adding resistance bands into their workout mix.

Bodylastics also adheres to the highest quality standards – your Satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed. If it’s not up to par, send it back!

Advanced users can use resistance bands from Bodylastics hit muscles groups that are not trained during weightlifting exercises.

Women, and even men, will see that Bodylastics is a great tool for toning up the body.

Resistance Bands for Sports and Injury

resistance bands in sportsResistance bands aren’t just for losing weight with exercise at the gym. Even though they are becoming more and more popular for losing weight, resistance bands were pioneered in the field of sports medicine and injury recovery. Resistance bands provide some great benefits that cannot be reproduced with weightlifting or cardiovascular exercise. Let’s look at the reasons why they are so popular in these fields.

Before reading, know that you must always consult with your sports physician, coach, doctor, or physical therapist for a resistance band training program that is right for you. Every athlete and injury is different, and any exercise program should not be considered without first consulting a professional.

Resistance Bands Versus Free Weights

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

This article will look at the similarities and differences between free weights and resistance bands, and the advantages of each.

resistance bands versus free weights

It is a common misconception that resistance bands cannot build muscle or tone the body. This is purely false, as studies have shown that the amount of force provided to stimulate the muscle fibers for growth (also known as peak load), is the same with resistance bands and free weights.

Before we continue, it should be made clear that free weights do not mean machines. Free weights are dumbbells and barbells. Machines like the Smith Machine or bicep curl machine do not provide nearly the benefits of free weights. Machines restrict motion to a very narrow range-of-motion, and do not provide nearly the amount of resistance one part of the movement. For example, when lifting the weight on a hamstring curl machine, it is difficult. But on the way down it is nearly effortless. By not providing resistance on the return motion, no additional force is applied to the muscles.

Resistance Bands for Exercise

Introduction to Resistance Bands


For most people, exercise means lifting weights or doing some type of cardiovascular activity, such as running. But there are a lot of less-than-well-known techniques for exercising, and one of those is using resistance bands.

Using your body’s own resistance for exercise is one of the premiere ways to tone and shape your body. The risk of injury is incredibly low and it provides a fantastic range-of-motion. These exercises include push-ups, pull-ups, body squats, jumping jacks, and many more. You don’t need resistance bands for those particular exercises, but when you add bands to your workout you expand the amount of muscles you can workout, and the types of exercises you can do.

Using resistance bands for exercise takes this theory of using body weight further to provide some great workouts. Exercises like the bicep curl and the overhead press don’t do a lot of good without a weight. But when you use resistance bands, you are providing your muscles the resistance they need to tone up and grow.

Why Aren’t Resistance Bands More Popular?
