The resistance band might conjure up images of the lycra-clad Mr Motivators of the Nineties, but they’re more relevant than ever.
Whether you’re going gym-free or want to bolster your home workout set-up without swapping out the sofa for a TRX rig, fitness bands deserve a place in your training roster.
“Whilst not a new bit of equipment, resistance bands have exploded in popularity,” says Adam Shilliday, personal trainer at Rise N Grind. “Essentially, they’re simple elastic bands of varying tensions, providing enough resistance to help build muscle and strength.”
Despite their simplicity, fitness bands are incredibly versatile. With a bit of imagination they can help you work through a range of movement patterns, including pushes, pulls and static holds, all from the comfort of your own home / local park / wherever the heck you feel like getting a sweat on.
