Why get this home gym deal?
The best resistance bands use elastic tension, rather than heavy weight, to build muscle. For one thing, this is a lot safer for people with very weak joints, as you're less likely to lose your form or execute a movement incorrectly and either stress your muscle out as the weight wobbles, or drop it and hurt yourself.
Resistance bands also allow you to slowly release the tension, working your muscles on the lowering or "eccentric" phase of a resistance exercise. Once you reach the apex of a movement like a bicep curl, slowly lowering your arm under control will help build muscle more efficiently than quickly letting go.
This versatile piece of kit allows you to hook the bands onto a bar to squat or bench press. You can hook them to a door to pull the bands towards you, training your back, or pushing away from you, training your chest. With over 70 exercises, it's a great setup for beginners who aren't too sure about committing to the gym, or for those people for whom COVID shielding makes attending a gym impossible.
