#NoGymNoExcuses |WORKOUT FROM HOME| RESISTANCE BANDS|

3 min read

Today I am going to show you how you can do a workout at home with resistance bands!  #NoGymNoExcuses !
25LB RESISTANCE BANDS

You do not NEED a gym membership to get a workout in.  You pay to live where you are right?  That is your gym membership!  this is what I mean by #NoGymNoExcuses.  You can workout in the privacy of your home.  No more using the excuse “I can’t make it to the gym…I don’t have a gym membership.”  You can do a lot of exercises at home with equipment that does not cost much at all.  Some things you may not have to buy.  Running outside is free last time I checked lol.

 

I started using resistance bands because I wanted to tone and not bulk up.  I did not lift weights for about least 6 months into my weight loss journey.   I did strictly cardio.  This was tough for me because I was use to lifting heavy weights.  This picture was taken 2012/2013 or so.   I had a 405 pound bench press.  I was happy I got it up.  Three reps to be exact.

THIS WAS SOMETIME IN 2012/13. SMITH MACHINE BENCH PRESS 405 POUNDS. NOT REALLY IMPRESSIVE LIFTING THIS MUCH AT THE SAME TIME WEIGHING AS MUCH. IT IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT NONE THE LEAST

 

I had to let that all go when I was dropping my weight.  I discovered resistance bands while researching how to tone your body.  I still wanted to do cardio at the gym but wanted to do something from the convenience of my home.  This was one of the first pieces of equipment I purchased in building my home gym.  Resistance bands helps build ligament strength.  You have to strengthen your ligaments in order to build better muscle.

 

I started off with a low resistance band as well as repetitions.  I had never used resistance bands before this, so this was new, and I liked it.  I began to get stronger and more toned.  I built myself up from 10,25, 50, to my ultimate goal of 100 reps.  100 reps have stuck with me ever since.  The strain on my muscles from the bands felt different than the strain from free weights.  A good strain, but different.  The bands were more challenging than they looked.  I was looking for a challenge and I got it.  As I got stronger, I wanted to step my game up.  I needed more of a challenge.  Then I discovered these
