A set of exercises with an elastic band - the best exercises with an expander for men and women

Rubber band is an elastic exercise band made of natural latex for training deep muscles and stabilizer muscles.
Helps improve stretching, physical strength and endurance, and correct body contours. In our online store you can buy rubber bands for fitness and strength training. All products are made of high-quality latex and can withstand prolonged stress. Elastic and closed rubber bands are available - pay attention to the HVAT - Mini Bands for leg training and universal tubular expanders.

What is a rubber band?

It is a long, wide tape made of latex; the tape is made of multilayer overlay, and therefore has a fixed resistance at each point. The specified and fixed tension makes the simulator truly universal!

An excellent exercise machine for increasing muscle tone, strength and endurance, losing excess weight, improving flexibility and stretching, and eliminating cellulite.

Initially, rubber bands were intended for elderly people undergoing rehabilitation after injury. Today, an elastic expander is a good alternative to modern exercise equipment and weights.

We have been testing the products for several years - these crash tests have shown that sports tapes practically do not wear out and even after months or years of use they retain their characteristics. Therefore, they are used not only for rehabilitation and any occasional training, but also in Pilates, gymnastics, endurance and stretching classes, and complex training. Allows you to improve muscle condition and minimize stress on joints and ligaments. Other names for sports equipment are shock absorber tape, theraband.

Advantages and disadvantages of an expander

If you still doubt whether you need this simulator or not, then read below about its pros and cons.

The positive aspects of the elastic band:

• incredibly compact and lightweight, you can take it with you anywhere;
• you can exercise both in a fitness club and at home;
• budget price compared to other simulators (from 200-1000 rubles);
• does not load joints and is safe for health;
• can replace dumbbells or work in tandem with them;
• includes all muscles in work, even sleeping ones;
• can be stretched in different directions;
• can be selected for any level of physical fitness;
• easy to use, allowing you to grip anywhere;
• you can change the tension force;
• more durable than a tubular expander;
• can replace a fitness elastic band; to do this, you just need to tie it.

Negative qualities of a rubber band:

1. can slip out of your hands and damage the skin on your palms;
2. consists mainly of latex, and it can cause allergies;
3. If used incorrectly, it will wear out quickly.

Regarding the last point, I want to tell you a little secret, all my tapes stuck together and tore quite quickly, the problem was solved in the following way: talc was applied to the entire rubber surface and this is what solved all the problems.

Also, the expander band should not be stored in direct sunlight or near batteries. I have not encountered any allergies, but I have heard that some people wear special gloves on their hands.

Benefits of exercising with an elastic band

The tape has many advantages over similar functional projectiles:

• Compact and mobile.
  Easy to roll and light weight. It even fits in your pocket.
• Availability.
  The cost of an elastic band is from 400 rubles. You can hardly find a trainer with similar capabilities and such a low price in other online stores.
• Safety.
  The load on joints and ligaments during exercise is minimal. This eliminates the risk of injury.
• Complex action.
  Training with a rubber band is an opportunity to tone the muscles of the whole body: legs, shoulders, arms, back, chest and buttocks.
• Adaptive and uniform load.
  The belts have a wide range of loads created; in addition, the projectiles can be used together. This allows you to independently adjust the level of resistance, increase or decrease the tension force and load on the muscles. Thanks to the tension of the tape, the muscle tissue of the area being worked is in constant and necessary tension.
• After pregnancy.
  Suitable for women who want to get their figure in order after giving birth. Training with dumbbells, weights, increased stress on the spine and abdominal cavity after childbirth is prohibited. Exercising with an elastic band is not contraindicated.

Benefits of training with a shock absorber band

Before you figure out what exercises to do with an elastic band, you should learn about the many benefits of this exercise machine. After all, it really has a lot of advantages:

• Compact sizes. If you like to train at home rather than in the gym, you will certainly appreciate this benefit. The projectile takes up very little space. It is convenient to store it in a drawer, on a shelf, even under the bed. You definitely won’t have problems with free space.
• Light weight. The expander band is a very lightweight exercise machine. It weighs so little that you can easily take it with you on a trip, a business trip, or to visit a friend at any time, simply by putting it in your purse or jacket pocket.
• Low cost. In terms of cost characteristics, this is one of the most affordable simulators. You can buy it for only 200-250 rubles.
• Safety. When performing a set of exercises with an elastic band, it is almost impossible to get injured.
• The ability to pump up all the muscles. By choosing the right training scheme with a tape expander, you can use any muscle zones in your work. Training with this apparatus is especially effective for the muscles of the arms, legs, hips, chest, back and buttocks.
• Big variety. The number of movements that can actually be performed using this sports equipment tends to infinity. Thanks to this, you can introduce new movements into your training program, thereby achieving greater efficiency.
• Versatility. This simulator is suitable for regular training at any age. Classes with it are also recommended for older people and athletes after injuries.

Speaking about the numerous advantages of this projectile, one cannot fail to note some of its disadvantages. Among them:

• Quite a short service life. After 6-8 months of training, the product wears out and becomes less elastic.
• The likelihood of an allergic reaction to latex.
• Difficulty tracking achieved results.

How to choose a rubber band?

Our managers will be happy to help you choose a rubber band suitable for the load. But you can make a choice yourself using basic recommendations:

• Resistance.
  Affects muscle load. You can estimate the load by the color of the tape. Orange ones are created for fitness - soft, characterized by a minimal level of load, red and green - have a medium degree of elasticity. Rigid rubber bands are painted in dark shades (purple, lilac, blue) and are characterized by the highest load. You can purchase a combination of bands to make the training process varied and complete.
• Length.
  Rubber bands have good stretch. We sell tapes of sufficient length, which allows you to make the training process as varied as possible. By folding the tape in half, you can provide additional stress on the muscles.
• Width.
  Depends on the resistance (color) of the tape, the greater the thickness, the greater the resistance. Even the most elastic orange band is wide enough for any type of training.

We always have all colors of ribbons in stock, you can purchase more if necessary. Over time, the athlete usually collects the entire range of colors, which allows the training process to be varied in content and intensity.

It is advisable to purchase several colors at once. You don't have to wait for the next delivery. Saving time and money.

Training opportunities

The functionality is enormous - it can be used as additional weights or as a tool to reduce the load when teaching classic basic exercises for the torso - pull-ups and push-ups. If you can’t do the exercise with your own weight, then an elastic band will be an excellent helper.

The bands will teach you how to do pull-ups. When a trainer helps you pull yourself up and pushes you, the main load falls on the muscles of your arms and your back is not used. The basic exercise is performed incorrectly. The tape evenly reduces the load, allowing you to actually perform approaches correctly and increase their number.

When working on uneven bars, the tape is attached directly to the apparatus, the tension force reduces the load on the entire muscle corset.

The exercise machine can also be used to increase the load, creating additional weight in exercises with a barbell, weights and dumbbells. The weight is created in the concentric phase of the movement - on the rise, which allows you to quickly work out the biceps and triceps.

Use in exercise

Resistance bands can be used for complex training or for performing exercises to work individual muscles.

Training the muscles of the legs and buttocks

We perform the exercises in 3 approaches, using a set of three bands. First, we work on the “breeches” area, the front and side muscles of the legs, and buttocks:

1. We place the tape on the ankles. We spread our legs until we feel muscle tension. With your knees slightly bent, you lean forward. We take 5-7 steps to the right, then to the left. Repeat 10-14 times.
2. Without changing the starting position, we do 10 regular squats, then 5 more springy ones. We rest for 2 minutes.

The second approach involves performing exercises to work the muscles of the back of the thigh and buttocks in a lying position. The rubber band is located at the ankles. We do the following:

1. We lie on our stomachs, resting our chin on our hands. We spread our legs to the sides, alternately raise the limbs up 10-14 times.
2. We lie down on our backs. Place the tape slightly below the hip line. We spread our legs bent at the knees to the sides until the rubber is fully tensioned. As you inhale, raise your pelvis. Keep your buttocks tense for 2 seconds. As you exhale, lower your pelvis to the floor. Repeat 15 times.

The third stage of training the muscles of the legs and buttocks consists of the following exercises:

1. Standing position. With a rubber band placed on your hips, perform 5-7 steps to the right and left. Repeat at least 15 times.
2. Having placed the elastic band on the lower part of the thighs, we spread and slightly bend the legs, straining the buttocks. We squat deeply 10 times, after which we perform another 5 spring squats.

To achieve a positive effect, you need to train with a rubber band once every 2-3 days, gradually increasing the load on the muscles.

Volume reduction exercises

Subsequence:

1. We stand, pull the elastic band over our ankles, place our feet shoulder-width apart and bend them slightly. We hold one hand on the belt, the other we lean against a wall or chair. We make 10-12 swings with the right, then with the left leg. We perform the exercise in 3 approaches.
2. Without changing the starting position, we move the leg to the side and up until the maximum tension of the band. We do 10-12 such movements for the right and left limbs. Number of approaches – 2-3.
3. Lie on your side and put an elastic band around your ankles. Bend your lower leg at the knees and place your head on your arm bent at the elbow. Raise the upper leg 10-15 times. We turn on the other side and repeat the exercise. Perform 2-3 approaches.

Such exercises help get rid of fat deposits, reduce the volume of pumped muscles, and remove sagging from the inner thighs.

Training the muscles of the arms, shoulders and chest

Most often it is performed in a standing position. Exercises:

1. We put the tape behind the back. Raise your arms at shoulder level, and while inhaling, bring them together in front of you.
2. Place the elastic band on the floor and step on it. Grab the band on both sides, bend your arms with your back straight - train your biceps.
3. Holding the tape in front of you, we spread our arms diagonally, alternately to the right and left.

We repeat the exercises 10-12 times. The number of approaches is 2-3 for each hand. The break between exercises is 2 minutes, between approaches – half a minute.
