Exercise Resistance Bands

What are these for?

Resistance bands provide extra resistance to strengthen muscles when exercising.

When will I need to use them?

Once an exercise can be completed without taking a rest between the repetitions and you feel minimal to moderate muscle fatigue, consider introducing a resistance band.

Make sure to start with the stretchiest (easiest) band first.

Where can I get them?

Sporting goods stores, online stores, and department stores usually offer these.

Hand-Held Weights or Dumbbells

What are these for? 

Use when a wide range of motion is required of the exercise or when exercise resistance bands are no longer challenging.

When will I need to use them?

When an exercise can be completed without needing rest between the sets and not feeling muscle fatigue.

Make sure to start with the lightest weights possible to prevent injury, usually 1 lb.

Where can I get them?

Sporting goods stores, online stores, and department stores usually offer these.
