Why You Should Be Using Resistance Bands for Weight Loss

by Malcolm Young on Sep 23, 2021
Why You Should Be Using Resistance Bands for Weight Loss - POWERBANDS®

Losing weight is perhaps the most common fitness goal. As there are many ways to lose weight, it’s important to find the method that works best for you. For example, using resistance bands for weight loss may just be what you need to progress in your fitness journey.

Resistance bands are a cost-effective way to lose weight. They’re convenient, lightweight and you can even bring them with you on your travels. So, there’s no excuse not to work out even when you’re away from home. In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of using resistance bands for weight loss and hopefully give you the nudge you need to get some for yourself.

1. Boosts Body-Weight Exercises

One way to effectively lose weight is through body-weight training. These types of exercises involve using your body weight to provide resistance against gravity. This can be a great workout for those who don’t want to go to a gym or don’t have the budget to buy gym equipment. Examples of body-weight exercises include planks, squats, pushups and jumping jacks.

Since body-weight exercises use resistance to work out the muscles, incorporating resistance bands can be a great workout. Resistance bands can give you added resistance to provide your muscles with a greater challenge. This can result in a greater calorie burn and more weight loss. 

2. Gives You a Full-Body Workout

Some gym equipment only focuses on a certain area of the body or muscle groups. However, with resistance bands, you can get a full-body workout. Resistance bands can allow you to simultaneously exercise the upper and lower body. This means you’re working out more efficiently and burning more calories in less time.

3. Adds Variety to Your Workouts

Variety is important in weight loss training since it allows you to strengthen different muscle groups. And when using resistance bands for weight loss, you’ll never run out of exercises to do.

For example, you can use resistance bands to get the most out of your squats. You can start by positioning yourself in the middle of your resistance band. You should spread your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, and each hand should be holding one end of the resistance band. By holding your arms straight up and pulling the resistance bands against the squat, you can work out your arms and back.

And if it’s leg day, you can also use your resistance bands to tone your legs. You can do so by using a small, circular resistance band while performing leg and butt exercises. All you need to do is put the band around your legs and move one leg away to provide resistance. 

Final Thoughts

Everyone’s fitness journey is different, so it’s best to find the type of weight loss workout that will best work for you. For example, if budget is an issue, resistance bands can provide you with an affordable way to lose weight. It can help boost body-weight exercises and give you the full-body workout you need. It also offers variety, so you can focus on different muscle groups and keep your muscles challenged.
