An elastic band or tube that provides increasing resistance as it stretches.
Why Resistance band matters
Bands are portable and useful for assistance, accessory work and exercises where variable resistance suits the goal.
A practical example
Looping a band around a secure anchor for rows while travelling.
Common mistake
Using a worn band, unsafe anchor or uncontrolled release that could cause it to snap back.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
