Resistance Tubing
So what's the deal with these things? Pictured above are resistance tubes but you can also find resistance bands which are skinny and flat with no handles.
What's to like...
Resistance bands and tubes are great for home but even better for travelling. If you're going to be away for a few days, they add easily into your suitcase.
You can essentially do any exercise with tubes that you'd find at a gym or with dumbells.
They're cheap! Costing an average of about $20.
They're durable.
They are useful not only for strength training but also in flexibility training.
They offer a different resistance from dumbell training which leads to the supporting muscles working harder.
Some things to consider...
Because the resistance feels different from lifting a traditional dumbell it does take some getting used to. Take the time to learn how to use them properly. I also find that when using them, you really have to be aware of your wrist positioning. It seems much harder to keep proper alignment than it does with a dumbell. You also need to check them regularly for wear and tear. This is more an issue with the bands over the tubes. Even a pinhole tear can cause them to snap which could lead to an injury. But as long as you make sure to check them out, they are perfectly safe.
Bottom Line:
I have them and I particularly like them for working the back and shoulders, two areas that are difficult to target with body weight exercises alone. They're also fun to double up with a dumbell in various exercises. So if you have no other resistance equipment in your home gym, these are a great first piece to start off with.
Have a great day and see you tomorrow for Foodie Friday!
