People often overlook resistance bands, but I use them with clients all the time. They’re light, portable, and incredibly effective for building strength and stability. Unlike free weights, bands create constant tension, which activates your muscles through the entire movement—not just at the peak.
Whether you’re doing rows, presses, squats, or glute work, bands challenge your muscles differently. They’re also perfect for beginners learning form or anyone recovering from injury. Plus, I travel with mine—they fit in any bag.
One of my favorite moves? Banded squats or rows. Your core fires up, your range of motion improves, and your joints get less stress. Don’t underestimate these little loops—they pack serious results.
