What is it, you ask? The shorter answer is: resistance bands . You probably know that the best way to really build muscle is hitting free weights. But maybe you dont have a lot of weights at home, and stocking up on kettlebells, dumbbells, and barbells isnt an option right now. Or maybe youre just not looking to bulk up, but do want to stay activemaybe youre even coming off an injury.
Thats where the BodyBoss system comes in. With the included base and resistance bands, you can do a host of exercises, adjusting the bands as necessary. (At its normal length, each gives you about 30 pounds of resistance; shortening them gets you about 70-80 pounds of resistance, while lengthening them lessens the resistance.)
Will it push your physique to superheroic levels? says Men's Health Fitness Director, Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S. No, but this is the perfect way to build base strengthand you shouldnt underestimate it either. Its not a free weight replacement, but it gives you an opportunity to do different things, such as accelerate your movements without losing control of a barbell. Its a great way to build explosive power and strength. And contracting your muscles at the end of a movement, when resistance bands are at their longest, can really help build a mind-muscle connection.
Luckily for you, the homebound shopper, today BodyBoss has a nice sale: the BodyBoss 2.0 system is down from $255 to $179, while an option that includes extra bands will set you back $198.
