00:00 My name is Kayla Jeter, and if there's one thing I've learned from being a fitness coach,
00:04 it's that everyone's wellness process and goals are different.
00:07 So no matter where you are in your fitness journey, we wanted to provide you with some
00:11 info that can help you along the way.
00:17 If you're looking for something that gets your muscles moving and is a low cost to add
00:20 to your fitness routine, a resistance band is just the thing.
00:24 The good news about resistance bands is that they're affordable and easy to transport.
00:29 It's a simple piece of equipment that can serve just about any skill level, though it's
00:33 often pretty underrated.
00:35 Using resistance bands is a great way to warm up your muscles before an intense workout
00:39 and test your muscles throughout an exercise, giving you a nice burn during your session.
00:44 They're also helpful for functional fitness training.
00:47 Unlike weights and machines, resistance bands can move in ways that mimic everyday actions,
00:52 and you can perform a great variety of exercises with them.
00:55 They keep your form in check so you can't cut corners, and what's more, they are safe
00:59 to use.
01:01 No need to worry about dropping a heavy weight on your toes or getting stuck under a heavy
01:04 barbell.
01:05 The best part?
01:06 The only resistance applied here is what you place upon yourself.
01:11 Resistance bands can also help you modify or progress your exercise.
