Bodylastics Manual Review - An Overview Of This Resistance Bands Training Program

When you purchase any exercise equipment one of the most important factors, in my opinion is whether they include some form of training program. That's where the Bodylastics manual or as they call it the "Strength Band Training" program is such an outstanding value.

In this article, we are going to discuss three of the primary factors that you should know about the Bodylastics training program and how it will help you reach your muscle building goals.

First, the manual itself is well written and concise. It includes a table of contents.

The first step is to get familiar with the equipment and the exercise jargon. Some of this may seem basic and simple however, they do give you some tips to prevent injuring yourself as well as the best way to use the bands to make them last longer. Not that that's a concern because Bodylastic does give you a lifetime defects warranty on all of their resistance bands. They do have both men and women illustrating the exercises and some of the gals are very attractive:-)

One of the questions that they answer in the Bodylastic manual is about how to have "Success in Training with Resistance Bands." It seems that some individuals always have the same questions. And that's "do resistance bands really work as well as expensive machines and free weights?" The second most frequently asked question is, "can I really get fit and build muscle with them?"

The answer according to the Bodylastics manual to both questions is yes.

What makes resistance bands provide you a comparable or even better workout than free weights and machines are that they are not bound by gravity like most free weights. Because of this, you can target your muscles at different angles, something that's not possible with any machine.

Many different illustrations show you the exercise movements from start to finish. In addition, they also let you know what muscles are being worked by that particular exercise. Some exercises will use a chair or stability ball. But most of these are to target the midsection or stomach.

Muscle Building or Body Building Exercises

The Bodylastics manual even includes two complete bodybuilding programs. The first routine is one that was recommended by former a Mr. America and Mr. Universe. It recommends that you workout each muscle group 3 times over a two-week period.

The second bodybuilding program is similar to program one however; it spread out over a two-week cycle. The emphasis here is to target each muscle group 3 times every two weeks. After trying out the second program for a period of 90 days, I found it incredible in helping me build additional strength and muscularity.
