Resistance band training provides an ideal entry point<\/strong> into the resistance exercise arena. Training with a band will not only allow you to get a challenging workout in, but it will allow you to do so cost-effectively and on the go. With just your band and your body, you’ll never be too far from the gym.<\/p>\n

While resistance band training is a fantastic transitional tool for those who are new to resistance exercise, it also has a key role in the training mix of intermediate and advanced trainers. In this article, we’ll step you through a series of resistance bands exercises for beginners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Resistance Band Basics<\/h2>\n

Grip<\/u><\/h3>\n

Depending on the exercise you are performing there are a variety of hand grips<\/strong> when using resistance tube bands.<\/p>\n

Underhand Grip<\/u><\/h3>\n

For exercises where you are curling or rowing the band towards your body,<\/strong> such as band curls, use an underhand grip.<\/strong> Fully enclose your fingers around the handle grip.<\/p>\n

Hammer Grip<\/u><\/h3>\n

Some exercises call for palms facing each other<\/strong> grip, otherwise known as a hammer grip.<\/p>\n

Overhand Grip<\/u><\/h3>\n

The overhand grip is used for exercises which involve pushing the band away from your body<\/strong> (with the aid of a fixed station) or those that have you pulling the resistance toward you.<\/p>\n

Double Handed Grip<\/u><\/h3>\n

Some exercises call for you to grip both handles<\/strong> together with the band looped around a fixed object.<\/p>\n

Body Position<\/u><\/h3>\n

\"Body<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to have your body firmly set<\/strong> when performing your resistance bands exercises for beginners. When performing standing movements your feet should be shoulder width apart,<\/strong> with toes pointing slightly outward.<\/p>\n

You should always have a slightly arched back and tight core.<\/strong> Do not give in to the tendency to round your back when the resistance becomes challenging.<\/p>\n

A key principle of resistance training is the isolation of the working muscle group.<\/strong> When you are training your biceps, you want it to be doing the bulk of the work. If you use your back by swinging the hips or otherwise utilizing momentum to get the resistance up, you will be vastly diminishing the effect of the exercise.<\/p>\n

Safety Considerations<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Always inspect your resistance band for wear, rips or holes. Do not use a band that is impaired in this way.<\/strong> If you are placing the band around a tree limb, pole or any other fixed structure, always check the object to make sure that there are no nails, sharp edges or shards of glass that could rip the band.<\/p>\n

If resistance bands exercises for beginners call for you to place the handles of the band over your feet, make sure that they are securely inserted beyond the forefoot<\/strong> so that they are your mid-foot level.<\/p>\n

If the resistance bands exercises for beginners call for you to use the door attachment accessory that may come with your resistance band system, make sure that it is securely fitted.<\/strong> If possible lock the door while you are using it. If this is not possible make sure that everyone knows not to come through it!<\/p>\n
