A Simple Single Band Interval Strength Workout

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

 

One of the things I love about resistance band training is how easy it is to crank out an interval strength workout when all you have is floor space and 1 single band.

Today’s RBT Live gives you exactly that, an awesome workout using a single band.  All you have to do figure out what size of band do you want to rock and roll with.

I hope you enjoy this week’s RBT Live and like usual.  Let me know your thoughts and comments.

Setting up your own Resistance Band Workout area

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

 

I hear it every week. 

Where do you do your resistance band workouts at home?

Do you only train with resistance bands?

How can I set up my own Resistance Band Home Workout area at home??

What types of bars do I need to hook my bands onto??

What types of bands do  you use and what are all the different resistance levels??

etc, etc, etc…

 

It just goes to show you, first of all how exciting resistance band training is becoming and secondly how versatile it is when it comes to training anywhere.

 

So I thought this week I would invite you into my resistance band training world to see where I workout and  where  I create so many incredible Resistance Band workouts.

 

I hope you enjoy getting a little upclose with the Band Man.

 

 

 

Make sure you shoot me your comments and thoughts.  I always want to hear whats working for you.

 

Reactive Training .. Powerful Results

PS.. As a 46 year old who feels like 30, you can imagine how exciting it is for me to get this email. 

Dave,

In the past month I have taken time off the weights and been doing all body weight and band training. My aches and pains are getting better and better, I am way more explosive, my flexability is better than ever, and I am running like I never have before.

 

Thank you  very much.. Keep bringing the info.

Curt

Band are not Just for Athletes

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

 

For years bands had the reputation for being a tool for toning or

for rehab.  It was never really looked upon as a realilist training

tool.

 

This changed when athletes started to training with bands.

 

Now what does an athlete need that a general fitness client doesn’t.

 

The answer… nothing…. We all need bodys that look and perform

as athletically as possible.

 

Here is what I use bands for..

 

  • Speed and First Step explosiveness
  • Enhancing Dynamic Flexibility
  • Power development using speed vs force
  • Pre-hab
  • Rehab
  • Post Rehab to enhance all the above and especially deceleration control
  • Fitness Boot camp and large group training
  • Home Fitness

You see what I mean .. Bands are an incredibly versatile too and

 Reactive –  Resistance Band Training (RBT) is systematic approach that

can get you started and thrive using Bands.

 

So get ready everyone because “The Band Man” is officially in the house and you are

going to love what I have to share which is what this blog is all about.

 

Stay in touch and let me know your thoughts.

Train to React not Just Contract
