Resistance bands can be the most effective workout equipment ever. They’re the most portable because of their small size and almost negligible weight. They can be used almost anywhere because they do not need to be anchored to anything. They are effective because the resistance the bands provide is comparable to weights. One drawback to resistance bands, unlike Kettlebells, is that they do not look exciting enough for people to use them. If you thing about it, there is really much more you can do with less weight to carry around using the bands then the Kettlebell. Resistance bands workouts are best complements to bodyweight training. You use the bands for strength training, HIIT workouts, functional training for sports, and also for stretching/physio-therapeutic exercises and yoga. Resistance band offer more than just resistance through weight. Weights like dumbbell and kettlebells pull the body down in one direction through gravity. Resistance band exercises facilitates body rotation in infinite angles. When anchored to doors or poles, you can use the bands to twist your abs, focussing on individual core muscles.
