Lower Body Exercise Bands Offer Alternative to Weight Lifting

June 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Resistance bands are one of the latest exercise tools that provide several fitness benefits. The bands, called kinetic bands, offer an easy way to get back into shape and work out the lower body without painful trips to the gym or the danger of injury.

“When you use resistance bands, your movements are smooth and consistent. When lifting weights, the resistance comes from gravity and can be hard to maintain control, especially if you are not trained properly and do not lift on a consistent basis.  Resistance Bands training offers a safe and effective alternative or addition to weight training,” said Marlin McQueen, owner of http://www.myosource.com, an online kinetic bands store.

IMPROVING YOUR LOWER BODY STRENGTH
Several work out enthusiasts seek ways to increase lower body strength. Carrying a stacked bar during squats and lunges has been the traditional way of gaining strength in the hips, thighs, hamstrings, buttocks and calves. Resistance bands training offers a workout targeting these same areas, but with less strain and risk of injury. A color-coded system, exercise bands allow you to start at a lower resistance and move up as you build strength.

ACHIEVING FLEXIBILITY
Several physical therapy patients and older individuals need a way to loosen joints and improve flexibility through a safe, controlled way. Resistance bands offer that training, and can be done at home. Resistance bands are a perfect compliment to a yoga routine and can offer an even greater benefit when used during daily stretching.

TONE YOUR THIGHS, BUTTOCKS AND LEGS WITH RESISTANCE BANDS
The legs are often one of the last areas that get toned during a weight loss program. Especially in women, weight often leaves the upper body areas before results are seen in the lower body. Lower body resistance bands offer a great combination of cardio and weight training, and can help specifically tone and firm the lower body problem areas.

“Our kinetic bands focus on developing muscles. When using the bands during a workout, muscles are elongated, toned, firmed and ultimately, the fat is burned off of them,” said McQueen.
