Nowadays, many people want to get stronger and build muscle. Afterall, it can improve bone density, boost your metabolism, support heart health, and more. But, many assume the only way to do this is with heavy weights, such as dumbbells and barbells, but it’s not. This 7-move workout places your upper body and lower body muscles under tension using just a resistance band, helping you to develop strength and build muscle all over.
The humble resistance band is an effective (and cheap) piece of home gym equipment, but it often gets forgotten about amongst the heavy iron. However, a 2019 systematic review published in the Sage Open Medicine Journal comparing studies that used resistance bands and conventional resistance concluded that: “there is no superiority between training performed with elastic resistance and training with weight machines and/or free weights on strength gain”.
