Trainer Secrets for Leg Day Resistance Band Exercises
11) How to incorporate resistance band workouts into your routine
Resistance bands are an easy, inexpensive way to intensify your fitness routine, Williams says. “I recommend blending them into the core section of a workout or using them as a warm-up for a lower body-focused workout,” she adds.
15) Is it OK to work out with resistance bands every day?
“There is no inherent problem with training daily with resistance bands,” Germano explains. “I would recommend targeting different muscle groups and actions if you plan to use resistance bands on a daily basis in order to avoid excessive muscle soreness. I do think incorporating resistance bands into an exercise program alongside free weights is the best idea to get the best variety.”
16) How long does it take to see results with resistance bands?
“If you are newer to exercise, you may see results such as increased strength and better coordination more quickly, just within a few weeks,” Germano says. “If you are a more advanced exerciser, it may take longer to see results as long as you are following a consistent routine with progressive overload—think six to 12 weeks.”
