When you hear about resistance bands, you probably start to picture the tubular bands with handles attached to each end. What we are talking about are the 41-inch continual giant rubber bands. These are completely different in construction, durability and functionality than the tubing bands. Through the binding of multiple layers of rubber, these bands are able to take a real beating while adding a limitless arsenal of movements and approaches to your training regimen. Their versatility and unmatched authentic feel throughout movement will have you wishing you had discovered them sooner.
Resistance bands add a component that no other device can. They allow your body to train by simulating movement patterns rather than free weight movements. Training in this manner allows you to incorporate more of your muscle system at one time during your workouts. The more muscle you recruit at once, the more energy is produced. There is no better way to burn fat than by multiple muscle involved with full body movements, in multi directions and at a high intensity.With bands, you are able to recruit more muscle, faster. By providing progressive, variable resistance while your body is traveling through both the eccentric (negative) and concentric (positive) portions of a motion, bands teach your body to neuromuscularly handle both body acceleration and deceleration, while forcing the body to use more of a reactive component through the entire motion of any movement / exercise.
Deceleration is the method of slowing your body down in a controlled manner, while an outside resistance (the band) is adding momentum, and an increased ground reaction force (force created each time your foot comes in contact with the ground) to your bodies gravitational force. This will allow you to train with bands in a manner most closely related to that of functional sport athletics as well as providing training that will simulate the functional movements of everyday life. This is the key to how your body handles how to react or respond physically in any situation. If you are running and have momentum, you have to be able to change this quickly in both life and sport. This cannot be trained using machines or even free weights for that matter. If you were to drop a weight, it would fall at the same speed. With bands, the further you stretch, the more resistance you will get and the further you enter into a new dimension of deceleration / eccentric (negative) training.
Bands are extremely versatile and are able to be incorporated in conjunction with dumbbells, barbells, kettle bells, body weight, speed running work, high intensity cardiovascular exercise, strength training, muscle toning programs, plyometric sport reaction training and much more. When performing explosively or slowly, resistance bands function just like muscle tissue only without the neurology built in. They connect to your bodies current neurological pathways and reponses, creating a streamline / natural feel while at the same time enabling you to challenge your body in a functional manner, which you have never experienced before.
