The Bands Attached To The Bar Add The Element Of Instability And Require Core Engagement For An All Over Workout
Bought a Body Bar and absolutely love it but are ready for an additional challenge? Now you have one with the addition of the Strength Bands. These stretchy bands can be purchased in a set of two 3' bands or one 5' long band that attach to the bar for a whole new set of exercises.
Exercise bands used to be exposed to the elements and could possibly snap causing pain and injury but these bands have a soft cloth covering that prevents the elements - oils, rough surfaces or even sunlight - for damaging them therefore the odds of breakage are vastly diminished. The bands come with an exercise chart to get you started.
- One pair of 3' long stirrup style, medium resistance bands which attach to each end of any Body Bar® and to one or two feet
- Better for independent and bilateral movements
- Single, medium 5' resistance band attaches to the end of any Body Bar® with an easy, secure fastener
Lunge - Place the Body Bar with Slastix Bands over your shoulders and secure the bands on your ankles. Take a step forward and lower into a lunge making sure the knees are at ninety degree angles and the front knee does not pass the toes of the front foot. The bands will want to turn your body to the side but you will use your core to maintain a straight line with the chest and hips.
Exercise bands have become a popular exercise tool for their economical price and extreme portability. They allow you to perform strength workouts anywhere and as you get stronger you can change the way you use the band or simply purchase a heavier resistance band.
In recent years home fitness equipment like the Bowflex which relies on polymer rods for resistance as well as other home gyms which work with plates are bulky and take up necessary space in your home. The Body Bar with Bands will take up no space and give you an excellent workout.
