Make it your goal this year to spend wisely when it comes to health and fitness.  As you should already know, staying in good
physical condition can increase your self esteem and on the same hand lower your doctor bills, but it can also put a dent in your pocket book.

It has been noted that Americans waste more than $15 billion a year on unused gym memberships. Of the 40 million Americans who pay for the gym each year, nearly 80% don’t
even go to the gym.  With an average cost of a monthly membership being $50 per month, that equals a lot of cash.

If you are one of these individuals or one who is on a strict budget.  There is a solution, and you won’t have to spend a U.S. mint to get in shape.

Bodylastics Exercise bands –Aside from being a great way to work out every major muscle in your body, exercise or resistance bands are very affordable and so lightweight you can take them anywhere. Great for the hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, chest, back, and abs, you can also tailor the resistance to meet your specific fitness needs and goals. Bands range from $45.95-$104.81 and are an easy way to workout anywhere.

It is a one time fee and you get to grunt, moan, sweat, and swear as much as you want in the privacy of your own home.  Not only do you save money on the membership fees,
but think about all the extra accessories such as gloves, hats, water bottles, shoes, extra white socks, mp3 players, gym bag, lock, etc.that most people invest in when joining the gym.
So as you see, you not only eliminated the monthly fees of going to the gym, the accessories that go along with going to the gym, but also the gas involved in driving
to the gym.

Being frugal when it comes to your health can have its advantages.  The quicker you order Bodylastics, the faster you can get into shape and start to experience the better
things in life with a better body and a larger bank account.

The principal object of  a weight resistance exercise training device which is intended for for shaping, toning, tightening and sculpting the muscles. Elastic resistance is a unique type of resistance training compared more closely to isotonic or isokinetic resistances. The resistance provided by elastic bands or resistance tubing is based on the amount that the band or tubing is stretched.   Technically resistance can be measured in pounds of force depending on the percentage the band or tubing is stretched from its resting length; this is known as “force-elongation”. Regardless of how long the band or tubing is before it’s stretched, the force produced at its stretched length depends on the percent elongation.

Free weights is how weight lifting began. It’s made up of dumbbells and barbells. It is the most simple concept, when using free weights you are stabilizing the weight, which will force you to use other little muscles that you didn’t know you were using. Free weights also give you a more comprehensive training because many stabilizer muscles are involved.

Both elastic resistance and free-weight resistance (such as barbells and dumbbells) have several similar properties: a) both provide some form of resistance, b) both allow a free range of motion, c) both allow variable speed of movement, and d) both allow progressive resistance. All four of these properties are critical for the benefits offered by effective resistance-training programs.

Despite the similarities between elastic resistance and free-weight resistance, people would assume, due to the lightweight and “flimsy appearance of elastic resistance equipment such as elastic resistance tubing, that free weights are clearly the better resistance equipment. However, studies have shown that muscle activity and peak load during elastic-resistance exercise is similar to free-weight resistance exercise. This means that when comparing the same exercise performed with an elastic resistance device or with free weights, the amount of muscle fibers activated is similar and the amount of force provided by the muscle fibers is similar.

Studies on elastic resistance training have also shown that programs using elastic tubing, elastic bands and similar devices increase muscle strength and muscle size and decrease body fat in a similar manner to free-weight training programs.
