While it is true that some exercises are safer than others, there is always a risk of injury when working out. However, this does not mean that you should avoid training your back muscles entirely. Instead, try using resistance bands instead of weights.
If you're stuck at home and can't get to the gym, you may be thinking that you'll have to ditch your weightlifting routine and swap it for bodyweight exercises only.
Not necessarily.
Resistance bands can do a lot of the things that dumbbells can. They are flexible, portable, and can be easily stored away until you need them. And the best part is that resistance bands are just as effective as weights for many exercises.
Of course, there are some things that resistance bands just can't do. But that's okay because resistance bands have some advantages over weights that make them even more useful.
Let's take a look at how resistance bands can be used in place of weights and when they are better than weights.
Resistance bands are great for many of the same exercises that weights are good for. That includes exercises like chest presses, rows, shoulder presses, bicep curls, tricep extensions, and more.
Resistance bands are also great for compound exercises that work for multiple muscle groups at once. These include exercises like lunges, squats, and deadlifts. Resistance bands can also be used for dynamic warm-ups and stretching exercises.
Start by holding a resistance band in both hands, with your palms facing each other. Next, extend your arms out in front of you, so your body forms a "T" shape. From here, pull the band apart until both of your hands are at shoulder width. Return to the starting position and repeat for specified reps.
