How to get started with RESISTANCE BANDS for Beginners

[@alwatts4108]

Hello, I'm retired, and started lifting weights to increase my strength, @ 75 yrs old, I find these exercises hurts my lower back. However, these bands I am using doesn't cause my lower back injury. Thank you for your video on bands

[@DisciplineDave]

You’re welcome my friend and I hope your back gets better 😊

Hi Dave just watched this video and am going to make a workout plan for myself . I'm 75 and getting backwlngs, I got two pairs of resistance bands free from Medicare which is in my budget. I tried them a few times and they seam OK. With you're videos and a little adjustment I think it will work out. I'm going to watch and learn and go at it. Thank you for helping everyone. Bob

Thanks Dave on your informative talk on R B’s. I’m 68 and started using tube bands about 3 weeks ago. I use your videos for exercises and do 3 sets @ 15 reps each. When I get ready to start my workout, I pull up your videos for the area I’m working that day. Thanks for the motivation to do the right workout with the right technique!

[@DisciplineDave]

Thank you so much for watching my friend, I really appreciate you Gary

[@xltoffroadbear]

I'm really starting out and learning, enjoying your videos very much. I started with 5 lb dumbells while I walk and am adding resistance bands to my routine. After 2 weeks I snapped a band today. I'm assuming it's not "Hulk Mode" and more that I'm not doing it right. But that fact that I can even try is a huge improvement LOL

You’re welcome my friend

[@josephroa4475]

Very informative video. Well done.

[@DisciplineDave]

Thanks buddy

[@stevencrane7248]

I base this on nothing but with loop bands when I kneed to increase I increase by the width of my hand

[@DisciplineDave]

ok cool

[@rorygilmorelove6]

Do you always have to lock the door if the door closes towards you?

[@DisciplineDave]

I would

[@rorygilmorelove6]

I recently bought a set of both tubes and loops and finding that I might not have as much space for these as I thought(?). I'm hitting my wall when I pull like you mentioned. Can I increase the weights? Do I reach out and pull them harder? I am so confused😕. You mentioned the Anywhere Anchor? I suffer from Agoraphobia and don't go outside unfortunately.

[@michaelkariuki5350]

What one type of band would you advise me to get if i have dumbbells+barbells? Currently am leaning on resistance loop bands but tube bands🤲🤲

[@DisciplineDave]

I will go with the loops style bands if your intention is to use them with free weights. I recommend Undersun fitness bands I have a link in description in this video.

[@RealAlienCommunity]

Very informative video, much appreciated! I'm a rookie ;)

[@DisciplineDave]

No problem this is where the rookies hang out. We are all constantly learning.

[@wahabwahab7919]

Great video. Can you make more videos about nutrition. You cover exercises and equipments but rarely you talk about nutrition.

[@DisciplineDave]

I understand that I don’t really talk about nutrition and it’s because everyone is looking for a one size fits all nutrition system and our bodies just aren’t like that. Once you start recommending what people should eat you’re going on a slippery slope of acting like you are a doctor which I am not. I am about to upload a video though about nutrition deficiencies and how to find out what you’re deficient in and what you should supplement for using a home blood kit. I think most people neglect of getting their blood work done and only follow fat diets which is a bad idea. But thank you for your input if I feel that some nutrition advice will add value without being too preachy I will put that in

[@stevemacqueen4805]

My form improved 100% using resistance bands than free weights!

[@DisciplineDave]

Great job the great Steve McQueen!

For the sake of full disclosure are you sponsored or paid by Torobands in any way?

[@DisciplineDave]

I am apart of Torrobands affiliate program, but I’m a part of every band company that you see on the channels affiliate program. Which pays me pennies on the dollar. It’s not much at all. If you’re asking “do I have a reason to promote Torrobands more than other bands” I do not. I truly like their bands. I actually turned down an offer for them to do workout videos on TikTok which does pay me because It will create a bias and I don’t want that.

[@learner4523]

@@DisciplineDave Thanks for the honest feedback! I love your videos they are truly helpful.

[@DisciplineDave]

Always my friend
