Superbands Resistance Training Safety

Three safety conditions should be met working with superbands resistance training.

Elastic band quality – Ultra violet, weather and use impact the band. If you notice discoloration in the band, pay closer attention to it. You may find that the band is pealing or tiny breaks on it. This usually happens before the band snaps.

Keep your bands in their protective cover and besides your visual inspection, run your hand over the band looking for cuts nicks and tears.

Appropriate tension – As you stretch the band the tension increases. Often if not always your legs are stronger than your arms.  The appropriate tension that creates enough resistance for your legs often creates an injury level overload for your arms.  For aerobics type exercises you choose a load appropriate for your arms and use your body weight for the additional necessary resistance to work your legs. This can only take you so far.

Core tension – Sagging belly ( not as in fat, but as in lost abs tension) creates tremendous amount of load on your lower back. Keep your abs tight to protect your lower back.
