Heavy Band Exercises
Resistance bands have been an essential part of my training for years and they have many different uses. To get you started, here are some of my favourite exercises that I use almost every session.
Gym alternatives
Bodyweight leg options are great but can often lack posterior chain stimulus. These band alternatives can be used for high reps to challenge the hip hinge pattern and strengthen the lower back, hamstrings and glutes.
Perform: 2-4 sets x 10-20 reps
joint Distractions
Apply external force to your stretches to help you go deeper. Distractions can provide additional space in a joint and removing structural limitations. Try these as a warm up before your training for extra range of motion.
Perform: 1-2 sets x 30-60s
