Getting a cardio workout without a gym can be done pretty easily if the weather is cooperative, but strength training can be a bit more difficult without access to free weights and machines in the gym. Those who tried to buy weights during 2020 had difficulty because of increased demand for <a style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: #ffffff;\" title=\"at-home fitness products\" href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/equipment-accessories\/equipment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at-home fitness products<\/a><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"> and challenges with the supply chain due to the pandemic. Fortunately, resistance bands are here to rescue you (and your muscles!) from the woes of at-home workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Reading<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wellness\/tips-for-exercise-while-traveling.html\">TIPS FOR EXERCISE WHILE TRAVELING<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What Are Resistance Bands?<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"\/equipment\/resistance-bands\/\">Resistance bands<\/a> are an incredibly versatile piece of fitness equipment made of rubber or elastic that you can use for strength training and flexibility. They come in several formats and tensions to allow for different types of training and ability levels. Here are some of the most commonly available types:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"\/equipment\/resistance-bands\/\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15788\" src=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Resistance-Bands.png\" alt=\"resistance bands\" width=\"988\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Resistance-Bands.png 988w, https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Resistance-Bands-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Resistance-Bands-768x304.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Loop Bands<\/h3>\n<p>This type of band looks sort of like a giant rubber band and can be effective for upper and lower body workouts. Loop bands are also sold as mini resistance bands that are really effective for firing up the lower body in particular.<\/p>\n<h3>Tube Bands<\/h3>\n<p>This type of resistance band is a long, skinny rubber tube with handles on each end. It can function in the place of dumbbells for upper body workouts.<\/p>\n<h3>Figure 8 Bands<\/h3>\n<p>These bands look like a tube band made into the number 8 with handles on both sides. Use these for upper and lower body workouts.<\/p>\n<h3>Therapy Bands<\/h3>\n<p>These flat, wide bands resemble a rubber scarf. They are commonly used in physical therapy but also have a place in workouts as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Use Resistance Bands?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>They\u2019re inexpensive<\/strong>\u2014Especially when compared to traditional dumbbells and other fitness machines, resistance bands are a cost-effective way to work your muscles without draining your bank account.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They\u2019re portable<\/strong>\u2014As travel becomes an option again, having a piece of fitness equipment that you can pack in your suitcase is a great way to avoid taking a vacation from strength training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They\u2019re effective<\/strong>\u2014A recent meta-analysis showed that resistance bands provide similar benefits in terms of strength gains as conventional fitness equipment, so you aren\u2019t sacrificing the benefits of your workouts by using these more convenient devices.<sup><a title=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6383082\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<p><strong>They don\u2019t take up much space<\/strong>\u2014Who needs dedicated fitness space when your equipment can fit in your sock drawer?<\/p>\n<p><strong>They\u2019re versatile<\/strong>\u2014You can use the same band to target different muscle groups. Also, by folding the band in half or standing on the band at different widths, you can totally change the tension of band.<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Build Muscle With Resistance Bands?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can absolutely build muscle with resistance bands! Check out resistance bands for a sure-fire way to keep your muscles active and strong.
