Use a rubber to work all the muscles of the back, arms and chest anywhere. We teach you several basic exercises that you can do with this simple and inexpensive material.
Before moving on to the exercises, consider the following aspects for rubber training:
Core activation. Keep your back in a neutral position, with your abdomen active during all exercises.
Pain. It is an alarm that will indicate you to stop the exercise and evaluate if your posture is correct or if the resistance chosen is adequate.
1: 3 movement. This means that the contraction movement must be fast while the return movement will be slower and more controlled.
Resistance. Consider that the resistance of the rubber is adequate if it allows you to perform the full range of motion.
Here we show you a series of exercises and the main muscle involved in each of the exercises:
We recommend that you use a simple rubber with or without grippers, although some exercises can also be done with large circular rubber bands.
When evaluating the intensity of your training, you should take into account the resistance of the rubber and your initial level. We advise you to follow the following progression:
Include at least 3 days a week of strength work performing resistance training routines so that you vary the stimuli your muscles receive.
