One of
all the materials that we can find in the world of fitness is the resistance tube.
In this post we will show what is and how we can work with it.
They are
similar to the elastic bands and act in the same way. There are different types
of intensity depending on the tightness. The difference between them lies in
the grip, being more comfortable in the resistance tube. Besides, depending on
the model we can increase the intensity adding or removing tubes, as we can see
in the picture below.
There are
so many ways to work with them. The exercises are infinite and only limited by
imagination. The most common ways are to step on it or to use a secure point to
affix the opposite end. The farther away the fixed point of our hand is, the
easier the exercise will be. For example, in the following pictures we can see
that doing the same movement, the intensity is different.
When we
are planning the training we have to take into account:
- Choose 8 to 10 exercises or movements
- Do 1 to 2 sets
- Perform approximately 10 repetitions
These
guidelines are especially for beginners. From that point on we can increase volume
(sets and repetitions) or intensity.
Here we
leave you some exercises you can use with your resistance tube to exercise the
whole body:
In the
following video you can watch a visual demonstration of the exercises:
