Excercises with reisistive band

[tommile]

Hello Everybody,

I have not been able to post on this board for a long time as I was going through a lot of changes in my life - both negative and positive.

I have completely neglected my self in the last few months as a result of which I am in a bad shape. Just last week I thought I should start some form of exercise and started going for a walk in the evenings in the park. But for strength training I am thinking of using a Resistive exercise band along with push ups at home. Has any one tried Resistive exercise bands? I need to know how effective they are.

Thanks

Tom

Resistance is resistance.

There's no magic in the bands.

They don't mimic weights since the resistance changes per the stretch of the band, but that's moot in this case.

Don't forget about your body weight.
