Resistance Band Training Explaination

Resistance Band Exercises have many different functions. The resistance provided by tubes or bands is different from that of free weights and body weight. Since the material which makes up the bands stretches, the further the band stretches, the more resistance is provided. This is useful because there will be the most resistance at the end of the range of motion of any exercise. Resistance bands can also be added to traditional strength training barbell exercises to increase the resistance towards the end of range of motion. Resistance Training anywhere is possibly the biggest benefit of resistance band exercises. Since the bands take up very little space, you can even pack them in your carry-on while you travel for work or vacation. You Can Use Resistance Band Exercises to Achieve a Variety of Health and Fitness Goals Resistance band exercises are simply another form of weight (resistance) training through which you can build strength and muscular endurance and tone your body. Resistance bands can provide light to very heavy resistance.  You can add multiple bands or tubes together to increase the resistance and this ability is virtually limitless. You can even create enough resistance with bands and tubes to support your body weight for total body exercises. You can also find special resistance tubes which allow you to connect resistance bands to sturdy handles which increase the number of resistance band exercises you can do because the resistance is enough to support your body weight. 

Traditional bands with handles range from easy to hard starting with yellow, green, red, blue, gray and black.
