Great idea
wouldn’t have thought of this; resistance bands really are versatile
Niiice!! Thanks! Never would have thought of this.
This is so cool!
Thank you; that’s one of the best explanations I have heard of the subject.
Oh ok, I guess it works with some people, not with others. Or something. At least you know what works for you. I’m just starting to ‘tread in this pool’ per say with different exercises
Tubing usually have handles and bands do not. Bands are flat and most tubing is cylindrical. Seems that many folks use these terms interchangeably though. I prefer tubing when wearing sneakers and bands are easier to use in barefoot activities like Pilates.
I do not get anything out of it whatsoever with the band. I prefer the original Pilates single leg stretch that this is based upon. I think sometimes combo exercises that work a bunch of muscles is excellent and they show results. Unfortunately, for me, this one fails to work many muscles and just distracts from what it could be working properly.
How so?
none
Is there a significant difference between resistance tubing and resistance bands?
the key to feeling this is to lay the head and shoulder blades on the floor, draw the abs in and keep the low back glued the floor, push with both feet with arms up.
The tva muscles get worked hard when they have to stabilize the low back against the force of the legs and with no support from the upper body.
Doing it as shown does nothing but work your hip flexors and thighs.
This is a useless exercise.
nice
