Resistance Band Exercises

A band gets harder the further you stretch it, so resistance peaks exactly where most muscles are strongest and eases off where the joint is most vulnerable. That accommodating curve makes bands the go-to for rotator-cuff and rear-delt work, for warming up before heavy lifting, and for keeping a full routine going in a suitcase. They also let you pull from angles a dumbbell cannot, because a band can be anchored anywhere.

Why train with resistance band

• Resistance rises through the rep and eases off in weak joint positions
• The best low-risk tool for rotator cuff, rear delt, and warm-up work
• A full routine that packs into a bag with no weight to carry
• Anchor anywhere for pulling angles free weights cannot produce
