Resistance bands can be an awesome addition to your workout. They help improve strength, muscle, balance, flexibility, and functional fitness. Bands can also make your workout more challenging. Plus, they're easy to take on the go, so you can train wherever you are. One caveat? Before you begin training, it’s important to know the most common mistakes people make with resistance bands—and how to fix them.
Selecting the appropriate amount of resistance is essential to achieving your desired results. Larger muscles, for instance, require more resistance, while smaller muscles, like in the shoulder complex, may call for lighter resistance. 'It's important to remember that the resistance will get heavier as the band's tension increases. Therefore, overloading the concentric phase of the movement,' Wilking explains. 'Having smaller and longer resistance bands and various weights will allow you to choose both the correct resistance and the correct length of the band.'
