Resistance bands have BIG benefits to getting Lean and Ripped fast. If you’re considering resistance bands, here’s what you need to know.
Walk into any gym and you’ll find a wide variety of free weights, hammer strength equipment and cardio machines. What you often don’t find is dedicated gym goers including resistance bands as part of their workouts.
You don’t need any of these fancy gym machines or equipment to get an effective workout to getting lean and shredded.
Today we will uncover some of the top benefits to using and including resistance bands in your training program.
Benefit #1 Constant Tension
Tension is required to build lean muscle. Without tension, you just can’t build muscle.
Many people who train in the gym only know how to move weight around, but don’t know how to apply proper tension when moving weight.
Resistance bands activate full tension during the entire movement for an effective workout that will get you results pretty rapidly.
Benefit #2 Cost Effective
Resistance bands are very cost effective if you don’t want to spend cash on fancy fitness gadgets or expensive gym memberships.
You can pick up a pair of good resistance bands for under $20 bucks.
This sure beats a pair of dumbbells or other infomercial fitness junk that doesn’t work.
Benefit #3 Activates Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers
Resistance bands activate slow twitch muscle fibers for a very effective workout.

People who react favorably to slow twitch muscle fiber training have the following advantages:
Slow Twitch
- Better at marathons or long distance running
- Vertical jump under 17 inches
- More than 7-9 reps on 80% of your 1 rep max
- Shorter rest periods between sets
- Can do a lot of reps with lighter weights or resistance bands
Benefit #4 Great When Traveling
If you are headed on summer vacation or just travel in general, resistance bands are easy to lug around.
It would be pretty difficult to pack a pair of dumbbells weighing down your luggage.
Resistance Bands are the easiest piece of gym equipment to travel with.
Benefit #5 Safe On Your Joints
Over a period of heavy lifting, your joints are going to take a toil.
Muscles are able to life very heavy loads but your joints are not made for that.
With all the fitness information out there, nobody is talking about longevity.
As you get older and want to live longer WITHOUT experiencing pain later down the road, train with resistance bands and your joints will thank you.
Benefit #6 Full Body Workout
Resistance bands can be a full body workout that burns fat faster than doing traditional weights and cardio.
There is no limit to the variety of exercises you can do from total upper body to lower body workouts.
They also can be very time effective for creating lactic acid (burning sensation) to getting a lean and ripped body fast.
Benefit #7 Combined with Weights
This one is my favorite. Adding resistance bands to your weight training program can yield BIG benefits to building lean muscle.
Watch the video above as I perform incline dumbbell curls using resistance bands. It’s a “pump” like on other.
Conclusion
The research is pretty clear that using resistance bands as a body weight workout can be very effective at burning fat pretty rapidly.
The other added benefit to doing body weight workouts including resistance bands, is that you can do them anytime and anywhere without fancy gym equipment or expensive gym memberships.
The older you get the more challenging it can be to hit the gym on a regular basis so I wanted to figure out a way for guys and women to get an effective workout to help reach their fat loss goals.
