The number 1 email I get every week is which resistance bands do I choose or purchase to get started with in my bootcamp.
Here are 5 questions to answer.
1. What are your group demographics?? Age – gender are key to getting the right resistance bands to train with.
2. What aspect of resistance band training do you want to start to implement?? (Flexibility, running, lower torso strengthening, upper torso strengthening) Best is to choose the exercises you want to use.
3. What are you going to attach your resistance bands to or are you going to do band partner or free attachment training?? Free attachment training or Partner training will take a bit to teach but will require half as many bands. Independent stations will take more to bands and obviously a stable attachment site.
4. Are you going to go exclusively band training or use other devices?? My suggestion is make it part of the camp at first and gradually build in more aspects of band training.
5. What surface are you going to be training on?? Grass, asphalt, gym floor…
Surface will dictate what drills are best and most safe.
My suggestion is you take some time to write down your answers to these questions and than if you want, email me at support@resistancebandtraining.com and I will customize a resistance band package for you.
Also if you have not tried our bands yet, pick up a total fitness package and get training. Ths package comes with a downloaded ebook that will get you started.
