Band training, NOT just for athletes

Bands initially came onto the scene 25 years ago in the athlete market.  It was looked upon as another way to get athletes to run against resistance and help improve speed.

Bands then became very popular in the power-lifting arena which again was a natural   carryover into athletics.

However, performance training and reactive resistance band training isn't just for athletes.

Creating normal movement is all about being balanced and strong which happens to be components of speed and power as well as daily activities.

If you desire an athletic body, the only way to get there is to start training like an athlete.

Hear me out... I am not referring to doing depth jumps or squatting 100’s of pounds.

What I mean is performing movements that reflect what you do during the day.

It’s time to get your butt off the machines and start pushing, pulling, reaching, bending, squatting and lunging. 

Start learning how to twist, move sideways and backwards…NOT just forward!!!

Like all training we teach at W8trainher Fitness Bootcamps it starts with  Control >Rhythm> Strength,  then Power!

Using bands makes movement training really easy for anyone to learn.

Make sure you join us.  You'll be amazed at how quickly you start to move like an athlete.
