Hello Angels,
I used resistance band for the first time in quarantine (when gyms suspended) last year. I can assure that it perfect for working in a tiny space.
Before I used them, I was a little bit skeptical because I was lifting weights in gym and first time I used my body weight and resistance band in my workout. Lifting weight seems more effective to us. I was thinking that workout without heavy weight can not be effective on my body. I came to a conclusion that the benefits of resistance band is very solid.
It is a great alternative to gym equipment. Resistance bands come in different resistances. You can take your resistance band any place you want and exercise. If you don’t know which exercises you can do, you can check Youtube.
