Build full-body muscle at home or in the gym with our guide to the best resistance band exercises.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even the best resistance bands<\/a> are often dismissed as little more than warm-up or rehab tools, but when you know how to use them properly, they can become valuable additions to your strength training arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resistance bands offer a flexible and affordable introduction to resistance training. They can be excellent tools for developing strength if you don\u2019t have a wealth of weights at your disposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the gym, you can add bands to weighted lifts like the bench press or deadlift to apply greater resistance throughout the movement. But if you\u2019re working out from home, one decent set of bands is enough to get an effective full-body resistance band workout<\/a> in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Target areas:<\/strong> Lower back, hamstrings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why I like it:<\/strong> In one respect, the banded version of this exercise is better than the weighted one. That’s because, while both versions put your muscles under tension for the concentric part of the lift (the way up), the banded version maintains that tension on the eccentric part (the way down too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
