Resistance exercise is an active exercise performed by a patient in which dynamic or static contractions are resisted by an external force. The purpose is to increase muscle strength, increase muscle endurance, increase muscle work. The following article focuses on resistance training techniques.

1. What is resistance training and resistance bands?

To increase muscle strength, increase endurance, it is necessary to have a suitable and effective movement technique, which is resistance training technique. In other words, resistance exercise is movement performed by the patient himself along with the resistance of the therapist or the device. Sometimes, many of us forget that, with a little support from equipment, we can achieve a much higher training effect - that is, the movement exercises that can resistance. You don't need expensive and modern technological equipment that is mounted on every part of your body or a rack for your entire body. You just push your body a little further away than you did when you were pushed, and a great way to do that is to pull a stretchy piece of elastic in multiple directions.
Cheap and effective resistance bands for many training methods - can be much more effective than we think. While those looking to train intensely to quickly hit their goals may not get all they need from resistance bands, they are a great tool for increasing muscle strength. . You can also use them for fast-paced HIIT workouts if you want to improve your heart health and calorie burn.
Resistance bands are also the most portable and easy to carry form of fitness equipment. They can easily fit in our luggage and make working out in a hotel room as easy as working out in a home gym.
Resistance bands all work the same way, but they're not the same. You can get loop bands or different sizes and strengths, or a straight band with two ends. Often the latter will have a handle to make it easier to hold. The color of a strap is often an indication of its resistance: Black and blue tend to provide greater resistance than red and green, and they are also harder than yellow.
In the exercises that we will introduce below, two types of straps are used. A small loop rope is great for stepping in and placing just above or below your knees for movements like ponytails, while you'll need a larger loop that can be wrapped around your shoulders while you're standing. That's for exercises like the squat.
