Training at home is an alternative for those who do not have time to go to the gym, so it can use various resources that do not cost much or take up space, such as elastic bands.

If we want a firm and toned body is necessary to exercise, that is why today I bring you more options to train at home with resistance bands, the proposed routine takes about 20 to 30 minutes three or four times a week.

If you are starting to prevent injuries and effort, use low resistance bands, working on a mattress, be sure to start your warm up routine and end with some stretching.

You can buy rubber bands in stores orthopedic products, fitness accessories stores or the athletic department in some supermarkets.
