The top resource for strength band training is now expanded, updated,
and better than ever!
Strength Band Training shows you how to maximize strength, speed, and
flexibility in the gym, at home, or on the road. With more than 160
exercises and predesigned workouts for fitness and sport-specific
training, you will discover why strength bands are the ultimate tool for
targeting, isolating, rehabilitating, and developing every major muscle
group.
The third edition includes a strength assessment index to measure
progress, new chapters addressing training for older adults and
rehabilitation, training tips connecting research to specific exercises,
and injury prevention guidelines throughout. The book is organized to
group exercises by upper and lower body strengthening, joint and muscle
isolation, core stability, flexibility, and total body fitness. The
full-color photos throughout the book showcase both flat bands and
tubing.
The elastic resistance exercises allow you to add resistance in multiple
directions--something free weights and machines cannot do--for
resistance routines that can simulate sport-specific demands, strengthen
your core, or help you prevent or recover from common injuries. The book
has a total of 27 different programs designed for optimal fitness, team
sport training, individual sport training, or rehabilitation.
Portable and easy to adjust, strength bands provide resistance for any
level of strength, fitness, or ability. If you're an athlete, fitness
enthusiast, older adult, or someone recovering from injury, you will
find the exercises and programs you need to improve strength, shape your
physique, and regain movement.
