So, the one (worked-out) (STEM) (Brazilian) had an ab wheel and also resistance bands, and he SWORE by resistance bands as a method of working out, he had gotten into them over the past 3-4 months that he had been here, and he said that after like 6-7 weeks of a simple workout, people were noticing the difference and asking him if he had lost weight, was going to the gym, etc.
So, I bought them off him at price, and I have to admit that I was very surprised that a decent set of resistance bands only sets you back like somewhere just less than $40, including shipping, which is insanely cheap and which also makes you wonder again why nobody talks about them all that much.
Anyhow, I am now one of the biggest evangelists ever for resistance bands.
I started off slow – he was doing like 4 sets of 15 reps 3 times a week, whereas I started out with like 2 sets of 10 reps 2-3 times a week – and already after like a week-and-a-half, I could see the difference in all these little muscles all over my body.
I gradually upped reps and weights, too, and now when I’m up to like 3 sets of 15 reps and I can do it with good form, I just go to a higher weight and less reps and start all over again from there, which is also more time-effective on my life, when you’re back at those relatively low numbers of reps.
I mean, I was originally thinking that anything would be better than what I have now, so why go nuts with it like he does?
And, even with that little albeit regular effort, I still showed results mad quick.
I’m like an addict now.
People should really talk about resistance bands more… They’re just amazing.
I wish that I had known about them years ago! If I had, imagine where I’d be now!
In comparison though with the abs wheel, he just did that like once or twice a week, and he says don’t worry about forcing yourself to go down low, you will get lower with time as your abs build their strength up.
