Watch the video to see lots more ideas of dynamic movements with bands. As I mentioned in a previous post, I find bands so much more effective and safer to use than dumbbells. There are numerous other exercises to try that we will touch on in the coming months. Some of you might be getting very confused about now, trying to figure out exactly what these movements do, and where to put them in your workout.
Do you really think that I have created any new muscles in your body?
Do you really think that I have created any new ways for your ligaments and tendons to move?
No. No. No. All I am doing is giving you suggestions on how to vary movements that you probably have already done somewhere in your lifting history.
You have probably done squats and bench presses before. By 'banding' them, you can safely go to a different tempo, changing up the feel of a workout. You may have used the leg curl machine, either seated or laying. Quick hammies are just a quicker, different variation. Your body is still using the same muscles, and working in the same line. It is just a different tempo and a different feel.
Insert these into your workouts as normal exercises. Don't try to find a category other than tempo.
Watch the video, and try some of these. Remember, there will be a learning curve. You will flop around, your lines will be off, and you probably won't get a great feel in the beginning. Don't give up. Getting stronger will allow you to be more proficient, and therefore get a better feel. I can gas myself with 3 sets of front hops, if I try. Remember, respect the bands, and I would really suggest getting in your banded TEMPO training early in your workout, when you are fresh.
Have Fun.
