The Many Uses of Bands in a Training Program
March 6, 2012 by danny · 5 Comments
Last week I mentioned in this blogpost that I’d be putting up a video of me performing many different exercises with the use of bands. Bands are a great tool to include in your toolbox. They take up very little space and you can travel with them when vacationing (or while on a business trip). If you put a TRX strap and some bands in your luggage, you could get a full workout in with no problem. I got my TRX straps and bands from Perform Better. Just click on the Perform Better link down and to the right and it’ll take you right to their website. Put “Superbands” in the search engine… I suggest getting a 1/2″ and 1″ band to get you started.
While the video below doesn’t include every band exercise imaginable, I did include quite a few. Hopefully it gives you some great ideas. As you’ll see, the bands can be used to add resistance to an exercise, add assistance to an exercise, or used as a stand-alone…
Superbands
Barbells, dumbbells, TRX Straps, bodyweight, kettlebells, and bands… use them all. They all can play a beneficial role in your training. I hope you enjoyed the video. I’m out…

There are some great band options for even the beginner in there. I would have never thought to use the band to do the adductor exercise that I used to do at the gym. Thanks!
No problem! Some of these exercises should work great for your garage gym.

They definitely will!
Love the bands. Last week I tried the bamboo bandbell bar. Crazy cool. Good stuff, Danny.
Steve,
Yeah, those bamboo bandbell bars are pretty sweet!
Glad you enjoyed the video… thanks!
