​​​@@MsSmashone There are plenty of videos on YT. Are you looking for glutes, hamstrings, quads, bicep, triceps, back? Bands will give you a stimulus almost immediately compared to weights. Maybe try 2 sets, 20 reps for each muscle if you are a beginner? Legs one day, arms the next?

@@Konvoys Everyone is different. But I usually do 20 reps for the first 2 sets and go to failure on the last set. On those 2 first sets I might have a few reps on reserve. Sometimes I do 4 sets depending on the muscle group.

I agree. I'm 73 and been using bands for the last five years, and have gained muscle,people I haven't seen in awhile ask, have you been working out.

As others are suggesting, I just purchased both the round and flat Bob & Brad bands, about a week ago, along with a book on resistance training workouts. My first day’s workout was glutes. That night, I did not have the usual lower back and ankle arthritic pain I’ve become so used to! Why did I not know about this sooner? It’s a game-changer!😊

Outstanding explanation of the benefits in plane. Good work Tim.

I love resistance bands! I used to have ALOT of tightness in my hips and pelvis, and issues in my mid/upper back where it felt like a rib was popping out all the time. once I started using resistance bands 3-4 x a week, doing leg/glute exercises, I found the tight hip pain disappeared and my back started feeling much more balanced with no rib dislocation pain. I've recently gotten my 60 something parents into resistance bands and they really like the low impact on their joints while strengthening their muscles!

I have osteoarthritis in my left hip. Within days I had pain relief. I’m totally hooked on the bands and swear by them. You can work any joint in the body in just about every direction. It’s incredible that such a simple piece of equipment outshines all the rest in my case. Due to the low or no impact of resistance bands, I believe that certain osteoarthritis conditions can be reversed over time. Best tool I’ve used yet. Affordable, requires no space, and gets the job done!

I first tried resistant bands when my mom bought them years ago to heal from an injury (she broke her ankle and this was part of her physical therapy) and I tried them out as well as they were good for stretching. A good quality resistant band (long full body and the leg ones. Some can be pricey but are worth it in the long run) can really help build muscles. I am using them during my weight loss and sculpting workouts. You can take them anywhere basically, so good for travel, home gyms or using at the actual gym. They are safer and easier to start with for most people.

This is such a helpful video for me because I use a theraband for helping me strengthen my hips and my IT band.

Well put and informative. Thumbs up lad 👍

Great overview on the bands! As a ballet dancer/musical theatre performer, I use them frequently for strength training and warmups+cooldowns. Also, progressive resistance is often used as an “aesthetic/artistic nuance” in ballet, particularly in the way we appear to increase resistance towards the end of our leg extensions, as an example.

I just got my resistance bands today, tried them out, everything you said is true, great pointers! Thank you!

Thank you for a great explanation! :)

It does help to grow slim muscles. I started with 30min low-impact full-body HIITs (no repeats, no jumping, and no equipment).)Two days HIIT, one day rest. The squats, lunges, and planks variations muscled my legs and glutes; plus the push-up variations----all included in the 30min HIITs,-----took care of my chest and triceps too. I just use the resistance bands for my biceps, back, and shoulders and it works wonderfully. Since I HATE going to the gym, I was able to get the same results at home and faster and working out in front of the TV with a "personal trainer," lol.

I love your channel man. I'm a 24 year old with an associate's in musical theater & songwriting, I just went back to school to get an Environmental Science bachelor's and take the prerequisites for PT programs.

Hello mate ,im 61 and done a bit of body building , but since having just a couple of bands ive found new enthusiasm. ...good luck...

Just a thought (from a JUST retired professional firefighter paramedic) on the comment regarding loss of muscle mass in the older folk. As above, I left rthe fire service in April 25, 2023, 5 days ago, at 67 years old. Not because I was physically incapable of performing the job, but because 29 years seemed like plenty and it was time to return to nursing school for the next phase. That said, in my experience, and there are more than a few examples of this on youtube, older folk lose muscle NOT as a direct correlate of AGING, but as a direct correlate of one of two things: 1. A disease process or severe traumatic injury that prevents physical training; 2. (By far the PRIMARY reason) lack of physical training, simply NOT doing the work. Period. At 67, 3 years away from 70, I have not lost any lean muscle mass at all. In fact, through my 40’s and 50’s I actually put on muscle mass, pretty much hitting my natural genetic potential in that period of my physical training, which started at age 14. Now I am incorporating strongman movements i.e., heavy carries and sandbag movements into my routine in an attempt to build MORE strength. I really enjoy bands for finishing movements like face pulls; as a means to add progressive resistance to bench press/BB squats and deadlifts; and as pull up assistance. At 67 I and many aging athletes need to shift the paradigm. Barring number 1 above, and there are qualifiers to that, there are NO excuses to grow old and decrepit. NONE. I have osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, I have had cancer, and have recently discovered that I have degenerative disk disease. Well yeah I have been demanding performance from this body since I was 14. Not going to stop now, there is no reason. Bands make any excuse even more feeble. Cost is reasonable and they are effective tools. So to all the older folks out there. Get up and kick some butt.

As a 60 year-old I completely agree. In my view, somebody who trains seriously their entire adult life and never gets out of shape will find that they reach their physical peak around 40 years of age. I was competing (and winning) in amateur MMA comps in my mid-forties. My training is the same as it always was but now I put more emphasis on my diet, and when I am on keto or carnivore, I found that pound for pound I am just as strong as I was in my thirties.

I am immeasurably appreciative of your comment. I'm so done with comments that has a variety ways of saying people over 50 are made of glass and are fragile because of age and have to be broke down. For many people, bad habits finally caught up with then, including not enough proper exercise. I am so overjoyed you are proof you can be well into your golden years if you do the work and not use age as an excuse to slow down. One of the things that keeps me going at nearing 48 is I keep a youthful spirit. I accept I am getting elder buy I shall never be old. I got health problems, but I never want to lose sight over the fact that there are people under 30 who will, through no fault of their own, even under 20, will have it worse than I ever will. Many youth will never know what it is like to walk, or not need canes or crutches, to be able to live alone, to live long enough to be an adult, not have brain damage, whatever it may be. I rather have my health issues now than at under 20. I rather have what I have at my age than being a child having cancer dying or a youth who cannot fully experience childhood for what reason. For a bit there, I was at the gym last year. I seen some folks who can be my mothers or close enough that can put many people under 40 to shame.

Correction to above, bands that was auto correct

Great for beginner who need to fine tune and find the exact amount of resistance needed to target specific muscle. Allows to correct muscle imbalances. Great way to condition the body for harder compound exercises I'm body weight training. They are easy on joints too as opposed to machine and free weights as they allow the body to move freely.

I had purchased resistance bands in 2021 tried them a couple times and stopped. I used to workout at gym many years ago going on and off I used free weights and all the various types of equipment. I was younger than and didn't have some of the physical issues I deal with today. I am now 58 years old and want to workout and tone my body. I have always been very weight concious but as you get older it is harder to shed the extra pounds. I have gout and the usual aches and pains that come with age. This video really helped me to pull out my dusty resistance bands in the bag, and start working out. My workout takes me about 30 mins and I feel really good for getting back to working out. Thanks Tim

I found that with weights and calisthenics I was able to exercise most muscles, started using resistance bands because they were the only way to exercise certain muscles, fell in love. Now I find myself using them for compound exercises when I know darn well I own a barbell bench press and squat rack

Great informative video - thank you!! :)

Very cool! Thank you for this.

I may have remembered this incorrectly or it may just be inaccurate information since disproved. In any case, I learned to use resistance tubing/bands doing each set split into two distances from the anchor point. One distance that makes the last half (end) ROM very difficult (closer to the anchor) and one distance that makes first half of the ROM very difficult (further from the anchor). And when further from the attachment/anchor point, you should not be able to move through the end ROM. Also, changing which distance you use first occasionally can improve the benefit temporarily. I can’t remember where I picked this up. It was years ago. The study found that this two distance method was significantly better than one distance, but just slightly better going from two to three distances being used.

Awesome information! Can you work out every muscle group with these tube bands? How much less can you do with them than the flat ones? And why are the flat ones better? Thanks!

This is the first video I'm seeing of yours, and it's brilliant! Unfortunately, even younger people are getting arthritis, due to a sedentary job, or a job where they have to stand all day. The difference between now and the olden days, is whether you had a sit down job or not, people were more passionate about playing sports vs watching it. Even families would play together. Bike rides with the whole family were very common. Now we don't even look at each other, lol. It's all about technology now. I'm guilty of this myself. Technology is essentially a tool, and not a hobby. I don't know how the addiction to it becomes so strong. But I'm thankful for not having a more dangerous addiction (drugs), that can make you hurt others without realising you're doing it. 🙏

They work great at home to replace most exercises in the gym. There are a few stations in the gym they cannot replace, like the pec deck and the roman chair, but they also have their advantages. I like that when I want to work in a few more reps, I can take some tension out and get a few more reps in. The down side is that the resistance they offer is variable, so they work best when you do slow repetitions to failure than several sets of multiple repetitions (because from day to day you may not be getting exactly the same resistance. The need to use leverage instead of working against momentum also helps with core strength in some exercises. In short, I'm a fan, but they have to be used with some knowledge of what's happening.

you just need a stable chair and something you can hook the bands from the back/around it, it’ll come back to you like you’re on the pec dec as you sit..you can do almost anything with these bands imo and hit the same muscles if not more. can’t replace it for deadlifting though..who knows if they get a resistance that strong maybe it’ll replace that too

Good young man ,well said and so true...

Have added resistance bands to my compound lifting. Today I added bands to the Hack squat. With free weights less resistance at bottom then more at top. I add plates to increase the loading. Am oldest OG at local YMCA. Recommend serious lifters to add bands to training. 🏋🏻

I don't see why the muscle reacts better with variable resistance over constant resistance. That would be the equivalent of getting on a weight machine, pushing all the way out and only coming back a few inches. I do clam shells with resistance bands and there is no need to come all the way closed as there is almost resistance there.

Is there any benefit from using a bar with resistance bands like the X30 bar or the Harambe Ststem?

I have a question: is elastic band useful for preparing for my course? How many times per week Should I use the band for my workout? Thanks Tim for your advice.

This is a great video. Thank you. I use the bands with the Super Slow Training concept developed by Ken Hutchins. Researched and very effective. Raise the weight up for a full 10 second count and lower the weight for 10 full seconds for a total of 20 seconds of sustained contraction on the muscle you're working. Do not stop at the end of lowering the weight. Bring it right back up to maintain the sustained contraction. You may use 5 seconds to lower for a 15 second rep when beginning this method, and work up to 10 seconds up and 10 seconds down with no stop at the bottom end. The goal is to perform 8-10 reps with some degree of difficulty at the end. If unable to get to 10, STOP. You've worked the muscle to failure and you can move on to the next exercise. Only one set required ! Once 8-10 reps becomes easy, increase the resistance by 3-5 pounds until getting to the 10th rep becomes difficult again. Been doing this for 35 years and it works well for me. Initially started in the gym with Nautilus, then Life Fitness resistance machines 3-4 times a week. After 2 years only needed 2 X weekly workouts to maintain what I had achieved and converted to bands during the COVID gym shutdowns. Haven't lost anything by switching other than the socialization of seeing the regulars. I found a great series of band exercises on KZread by Fit Gent (full body band workout) and (8 back exercises). Minimum time requirement and a lot of benefit although they are not done in the method I described above. I just do them as Super Slows.

I will answer this as short as i can. Yes lol. My other half uses these and does a rotation programme, training 5 day weeks and rest and recover on 2 consecutive days. With the resistance bands you get a fusion in a sense of supported yet free weight use. With the door anchor he can do all chest exercises that you could in the gym, but he said what he noticed more was the fact they sculpt, tone, and build strength. With a lot of people that just use free weights or weight training in general, they build bulk, muscle..... but lack cardio, stamina and the strength in their body to support themselves and not get an injury. With the resistance bands, you have workouts that are not only building muscle, but act as a H.I.T. workout as well, improving your cardio intake of exercises. And because of the way you work the bands, it is almost like having a spotter train with you. They are certainly worth it.

The Ultimate Warrior used to commit to his rehab with bands way back in the day.

The link to the therapy bands is not active. What brand are those? Thanks

From what I have read, and from personal preference, the ideal resistance exercise would • have a constant difficulty throughout a cycle of motion, especially when the muscle is at the stretched extreme (bands can supplement weights to help with this or perhaps do this on their own) • occur during the full range of motion • involve multiple muscles (compound exercise) • can be gradually increased in intensity from one day to the next as your strength improves For me, weights are better but bands are helpful.

I use them at home and convenient when I travel as the take very little space in my travel bag and I can do my workout anywhere and regularly. A lot better for functional training rather than sitting at a machine that tends not to be functional. Inexpensive and cost saving inc. time going to a gym or intermixing with gym workouts so you don’t have to go to the gym as often.

I find them way more entertaining for sport than other workout exercises. And I got results in a summer time span.

Resistance bands stubbornly called me to exercise last night; I initially tried to ignore them & watch tv, but they got louder. I could feel my whole body working as I did simple exercises. I’m fifty, and it felt pretty good to feel my stomach resisting like that. I then attempted to discover how to workout how to use the loop bands and ended up here. Thank you for the info.

In 2005 I worked from home during the summer and just had 1 tube band that I could stand on and do a number of different exercises. I sold computer supplies over the phone and I would use my feet or my chair to hold the band while I did a variety of exercises. I really bulked up and I was able to work from 7:00am-2:00pm and then go hang at the pool. I could even go onto my patio and use the band when I didn’t go to the pool or if I was taking a short break. Man I had a tan. I can honestly say that I never felt or looked better in my life! Once I started noticing a difference in my body then I was hooked and it became a regular part of my day. Now that I’m older (58) I’m going to get me some bands and attempt to save my life. I have battled Crohn’s Disease since I was 26 yrs old and because of it I have numerous health issues. The main one is that I have stage IV Kidney Disease and it’s about to take my life. I have very low energy because of the Crohns so it won’t be easy but I remember how easy it seemed back in 2005 so maybe I can do it. I was younger and in remission then so we will see.

Can i use resistance bands with handle for pull ups

i don't have any problems working my upper body with band its the lower body that I'm conflicted about. Any ideas ?

Any form of resistance training is good for you. I use these every day along with yoga . I used to be into power lifting and free weights when i was younger but im now paying the price with worn out joints. Mobility is the key.

I'm 50lbs overweight..rapid weight in the past 3 years due to hormonal stuff. It's been awful on my joints and I've notice atrophy across muscle areas that were once well developed. I will definitely invest in resistance training ...get some strength...and than I want to start HIIT and calisthenics....if I can 🤣

For those of you that want free weights you can get a great set for under 60.00 and not have to keep buying bands which drive the price value up if you have to spend 40+ for bands then buy more for more resistance. Bands are great for physical therapy, but my Dr. recommended adjustable weights in case you want to go up in weight. I agree with you fully and those with injures or recovering. Keeping in mind with this set the weighs come off and can be used just holding the weight to do other exercises. Again agreeing with the fact that bands fit easily in a bag if you travel and why not do both, for under 100 you can get bands and a set of weights very cost-effective I would say. Great video, just look adjustable dumbbells as they are way more useful than fixed weight dumbbells which I agree you can't change resistance with.

Great video! At what length do the resistance levels occur? For example, how far do I need to pull the 15 lb band to actually feel 15 pounds? This is helpful if I want to increase the resistance from, say, 15 to 17 lbs but not 20 lbs, or to start at 10 lbs and not 15 lbs. In other words, I almost feel I should get a weight scale to "calibrate" distances so that I don't overwork a muscle. Thanks for answering!

Hi Toney, from my experience training exclusively with bands: it does not matter what the manufacturer states about the lb resistance! First of all, when you have a band in your hands you will just feel how much you need to stretch it to be in the right resistance zone for your particular exercise. Also, you will immediately feel (with the first rep), if a particular band (let's say a light / red one) is too easy / too heavy for a particular exercise and if you should take a more heavy one (let's say a medium / purple one). Second of all: the manufacturers do measure the max lb quite inconsistently. Some measure it at 150% prolongation. Some at 300%. Others do not state it at all... And others again take the band doubled to measure it, whereas others take it single sided...

Bro, you're overthinking it. You want more resistance, stretch the band further, you want less don't stretch it so far. Forget about the exact poundage and focus on reps and time under tension. For instance if you're going for a muscle pump and hypertrophy and you're going to do 15 reps at around 40 seconds under tension then perform the reps at a pace that will allow you to hit 40 seconds at around 15 reps, if it's too light and you are going to go over then step further back or stretch the bands further out, if it's too heavy and you can't make it to 15 reps then move in closer or shorten the band so that you can get to 15 reps, then recalibrate if necessary for your next set.

Tenho 55 anos e á um mês comprei uma banda e faço apenas 3 dias por semana 1 hora por dia. O certo é que o corpo está diferente, com mais músculo e mais definido e sem qualquer problema nas articulações. Aconselho. Abraço desde Aveiro 🇵🇹

Hello is about your targets so start with bodyweight training calisthenics after myst put more resistance right? Is the moment you use bands mimic the barbell or dumbbell exercises them as you can see isnt enough take weights and work also combine the bands for more resistance

The benefit to resistance bands to me is that you can use them outside. I can take them to a park and workout on the grass and feel the sun. It's a much more human experience than a gym full of strangers all pretending like everyone else doesn't even exist.

I had these bands bought them at a exercise equipment store, later using them the red one snap off almost hitting my face, since then never again trust them.. how could this happen???

They are great for active recovery

The only downside is the fear of the band snapping and hurting you...badly. I used the latex one for safety reasons. It's way more expensive but more resilient than the PU. Just make sure you ALWAYS check for cracks before working out if you use it regularly.

Hi. I was wondering how do resistance bands fare in regards to building muscle and burning fat? Can they be just as effective in your opinion?

For burning fat you control your own caloric intake and expenditure. Exercising isn't strictly necessary for that.

Good information

Brilliant advice 👍 thanks 👍

I bought my resistance bands like 6 years ago and i still have and use them today. They're also cheaper than weights. Only thing with bands is that you have to fight the eccentric, so go slower on the way down.

Bob and Brad shoutout! their lower back exercises helped eliminate my lower back pain.

This is why I got my go fit pro resistance bar, 💪 and yes the pain i feel working out with these is something vicous 🤣🤣🤣

I don't fully understand how to work with resistance bands. Bands have a range of resistance for eg 7 to 14 kg. How do I know how much weight am I pulling at any given time? How do I Know that I am pulling the maximum weight at the end of my movement? Also, Is the given range of resistance for a single strand or two strands taken together ? If one strand is 14 Kg then does grabbing two strands make it 14+14= 28 kg? What about looping the band under my feet and grabbing two Strands in each hand? Am I pulling 28+28 =56 Kg now?

Can you recommend a video or website with a basic workout that I could follow?

Can u use these bands on the days u don't use weights or is that the same as doing weights everyday? l know u shldnt do weights everyday as u need to let ur muscles repair in between weight training to see muscle growth

They work but they have limits

Where can i find a program for my 65 year old mother ?

Just a quick question...I am still not completely clear but can these Bands actually help in building muscle in the same way that weights do ? Thanking you in Advance... :)
