Rubber Mini Bands vs. Fabric Resistance Bands for Glute Exercises

[@fawnwoods51]

I don't see your recommendations.

Great video Dr. Sandy, I am using a Hip Circle for my glute/bridge, clamshells, and step outs. I've been using big long elastics to do leg extensions and also shoulder rotator aductions and abductions (not sure if that is exactly the right descriptions) I am a big fan of elastic bands for my PT work and have been doing them every day. I'm trying to think about these exercises like brushing my teeth. They are my maintenence that allows me to be strong enough to do the "fun" workouts like running, cycling, rollerskating, kayaking, backpacking!

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Definitely, maintenance exercises are the name of the (active lifestyle) game! Love that you've found routines to make them a part of your day. And also, yeah, you can never have too much variety when it comes to resistance bands : )

Aw bles

Thank you!!❤️ I was searching for an informative video before buying one.

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Glad it was helpful!

They have always made fabric/mixed bands. This video is misinformed I find it hard to trust that a proper amount of research went into this before making that video in September 2020. One of the major differences in the range of movement between the two, fabric/mixed less range of motion so can only activate major muscles; rubber ones have a greater range of motion as they also target small muscles and big muscles. (p.s I'm talking about in general and also about the loops)

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Thanks for your input. Fabric bands have definitely become more common/mainstream in the past few years : )

I was hoping to check out your glute training program in the comments, but the link does not seem to work. It takes me to what looks like a broken web page. :(

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for letting me know! Yes indeed it looks SUPER-broken! I definitely need to troubleshoot this ASAP. Let me loop back here hopefully later this week. I would love to gift it to you as a thank you for the heads-up about my busted page : )

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Hi Amelia, if you happen to loop back here, please enjoy my program for free as a thanks for pointing out my broken page. The material is at engineeringyourbody.com/gluteal-edition (if it asks for a password, use "glutes"). And to anyone else viewing this comment, if the link is still up, please feel free to access the program as well : )

[@Amelia-mq5qb]

@@Riverstonechiropractic Thank you so much! Yes, the link worked now for me. I am excited to do some working out with my new minibands!

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

@@Amelia-mq5qb my pleasure! Hope you enjoy it.

[@lilybaytoday]

Same here. It appears it still doesn't work. I was jumping at the bit looking forward to the glute training program.

How do you measure to see what size band is best for leg and thigh exercises?

Which ones are better for man that want to build muscle? Not the small ones, the long ones

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

For anyone wanting to build muscle, you could use a small or large one, just depends on how you use it. For the long bands, they are mostly all made of the same material and come in standard lengths, so just pick the ones that have the best reviews at the moment.

[@alaynaanita7673]

Which am I best getting I’ve never done this before and really want to get my butt in shape ! Which are the best to get the goal I’m heading for please x

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

I would get the fabric set that I linked in the description. They are super versatile.

[@priscillabahaw5673]

Do your recommend the long fabric bands for pull-ups? My rubber just broke and in the market for a new band .

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Hi, I would stick with the long rubber bands for pull-ups. Search "pull-up assistance bands" wherever you online shop and that should get you started.

[@priscillabahaw5673]

@@Riverstonechiropractic ok thank you. Don’t mean to be a bother but could you tell me why you recommend the latex long bands for pull-ups versus the the fabric. I came across your video because I bought a good quality one for my size and weight and it snapped. So that’s when I decided to search and found out that fabric bands existed. While I do understand the differences you explained for glute exercises , i really would like to know why latex versus fabric for pull-ups. I can’t seem to find any solid advice on this anywhere .thanks Doc.

[@sapphirewolfofnight]

The long bands do come in fabric versions now.

[@Riverstonechiropractic]

Yes! this is great news. Maybe I should do a follow-up video at some point reviewing the long fabric resistance bands : )
