There are many exercises you can do with a resistance band. You can train the entire body with it. But it can also be a great addition to your arsenal at the gym. Here are a few ways you can use it to improve your workout and get the most out of it.
Update Your Workout With Resistance Bands
Side Steps
If you feel like doing some lateral work, side steps are the best to activate those glutes. It is also a great warm up exercise that targets and strengthens your gluteus medius.
Hip Thrusts
Making hip thrusts more challenging and convenient at the same time becomes quite easy when a resistance band comes into play. Regardless of whether you’re just starting lifting weights or trying to increase your hip thrust weight without increasing the number of plates on the barbell, a resistance band is there to help.
Push Ups
Making push ups more challenging can really build up that upper body strength, so if you’re already doing solid 10-15 strict push ups in a row without losing proper form, it’s time to put some more resistance into it by placing the band around your shoulders and under your palms.
There are a lot more ways to use a resistance band to improve your routine. You can use it virtually in any given exercise, especially where you want to increase weight without using too many plates. This is also a great way to feel the resistance all the way and prevent you from cheating and thus keeping the good form and increasing the muscle density.
