Resistance Band Workouts

I love this book - Ms. Inkster is very straightforward with her explanations of the exercises and, as someone who needs a place to start in order to get started :), her sample workouts are really helpful! I just ordered a set of bands and I can’t wait to get started. As someone who is not new to strength training but who is now 50 and can’t lift like I did when I was 40 (ouch! Figured that out the hard way), I decided to give resistance bands a try and this is the perfect place to start. I highly recommend this book.

It’s good

This book is everything I needed to get started working out at home. Every other book you can find on resistance bands, including manuals from the companies that sell them, are old and outdated and don't have popular exercises that everyone is doing now. This book was refreshing and not only gave plenty of exercises for all the major muscles, but showed a simple way to put them together into a program. You can use this information right away. It definitely inspired me to want to use my bands more!

Thanks for a good basic instruction book

Author does a comprehensive review of different bands and subsequent exercises. She also gives great training advice based on science and fitness professionals. Great illustrations and nicely organized.

When my gym closed, I ordered some resistance bands from Amazon. After trying to replace my usual workouts, I realized that I needed a lot more information. With this book in hand, I am able to figure out a good replacement for each exercise I did at the gym, and get advice on good form. Highly recommended!

"Resistance Band Workouts" is an excellent review of the advantage of resistance training vis a vis other strength training methods. The author claims that there is less likelihood of injury with resistance bands than with barbells and other training methods in that resistance bands maintain a constant tension in the muscles throughout the entire movement of the exercise. Therefore, there is less chance of injury and more opportunity for muscle growth. Furthermore, resistance bands are convenient in that they can easily be brought along on trips and are fairly inexpensive. The author makes excellent training recommendations and includes the importance of proper recovery, diet and the importance of proper rest and sleep. I would highly recommend this book

Wasn’t really my jam. I don’t even know exactly what I was expecting. Some may find it to be a helpful book though.
