Some people’s own strength is relatively small, so dumbbell or barbell movements may be more difficult. For such people, resistance bands are the best exercise equipment, which can not only exercise but also ensure safety. So do you know what are the advantages of resistance band fitness? What are the methods of shoulder training with resistance bands? Let’s go take a look below!
What are the advantages of resistance band fitness
1. Tension straps are very portable
Among all auxiliary fitness equipment, the resistance band is definitely the most portable. It is even easier to carry than the skipping rope. This means that whether you are on a business trip or vacation, you can use it to continue your fitness plan without worrying about interruption.
2. The mechanical characteristics of the resistance band are more suitable for certain fitness movements
Daily gym equipment often uses counterweights to achieve resistance stimulation. This kind of stimulation is a fixed load stimulation. However, the force generation characteristics of human muscles are not fixed. For example, the most common dumbbell exercise for biceps training often reaches the maximum tension level when the arm is raised about half way, but at the beginning, there is no So much tension.
3. The stimulation of the resistance band is continuous
For some rotational movements, if there are no professional fitness equipment with pull ropes, but only rely on loads such as dumbbells, the effect will be greatly reduced. These weights can only provide some stimulation during the acceleration and deceleration stages of rotation. The tension of the resistance band is continuous. As long as it is pulled open, the tension will always be maintained. It is more suitable for rotational waist and abdominal strength training.
4. The training methods of resistance bands are flexible and diverse
The training movements of the resistance band are very diverse, which can not only achieve local training for a certain part, but also achieve whole-body muscle group training.
What are the shoulder training methods with resistance bands
1. Stand in a standing position with your torso straight, fix the resistance band on your feet, lift the resistance band forward with both hands, and then slowly lower it to the highest point, being careful not to bend your elbows.
2. The preparation posture is the same as action 1, then use both hands to lift the tension band to both sides, slowly control it to the highest point to reduce its height, and do not bend your elbows.
3. The preparation posture is the same as action 1. The resistance band can be fixed on one foot, while the other foot can be lifted during the exercise. You can also practice with one hand. Pull the band forward or sideways in the same manner as moves 1 and 2.
