Bands; Cheap, but Genius!

Do you use bands in your workouts? Or have you been curious about how to incorporate bands into your programing?

I absolutely LOVE using resistance bands in my personal training. They are perfect to use for a warm-up, as “active recovery” between other exercises or even as a “finisher” to your workout. And they are easy to scale for all skill levels; from beginners all the way to advanced bodybuilders. Bands are SO cheap, but SO genius! I HIGHLY recommend that you have bands at your home gym or even to keep a few in your gym bag, as there are so many exercises that can be performed with them. And they can also provide the perfect alternative for when the machine that you are wanting to use is occupied. 

One of my favorites that I use regularly is band pull aparts. This exercise builds healthy shoulders and can also increase your bench press and improve your posture. 

Check out the demo of this exercise and the explanation of how to perform it on my YouTube channel.
