Resistance Bands Are Small but Smart Workout Tools

When it comes to resistance training, you don’t always need tons of equipment.

Some powerful tools are small, simple, and easily accessible.

Fitness bands have been common in physical therapy offices, gyms and fitness studios for a long time. They gained popularity in homes during the pandemic. They are a versatile tool that can be used anywhere. A great way to keep up with your resistance training, which is crucial for people over 50.

Staying strong is essential for staying independent, performing daily tasks and enjoying sports and hobbies. Resistance training – or weightlifting – is necessary to maintain muscle, strengthen bones, and prevent falling.

At ProActive Fitness, we use Anchor Point Training resistance bands because they are durable, comfortable on the skin and provide a wide range of resistance options. You can keep them at home, pack them in a bag, or take them outside.

These bands are made of rubber and fabric webbing, making them a superior choice to traditional rubber tubing.  You can use bands for arm curls, presses, seated rows, squats and all kinds of stretches, moving at your own pace.

Bands help with strength, endurance and joint stabilization. They allow you to build strength in multiple planes of movement and achieve greater range of motion.
