With the success of Fat Loss Workout Bands, I was really surprised  that women out numbered men 2 to 1 in the download category. More women downloaded my resistance band workout program than men.  Although both men and women can get a great fat burning workout with a pair of resistance bands, women tend to find them more appealing than guys.

Resistance bands are a little lighter than your typical free weight equipment so the perception is that one can build strength without becoming grossly muscular, a plus for women. exercise bands are also a low impact way to workout when one is pregnant, another attractive attribute for women.

Resistance bands are versatile and compact, so women can drag them around in their purse and find time during their hectic schedule as primary caregiver to workout. Please continue reading to learn about some of the exercises that you might use to get a total body workout with resistance bands.

A resistance band workout should always begin with a 5 minute warm-up. Stretching, flexing, and walking in place for five to ten minutes will loosen up the body and make it ready to perform the movements needed during a resistance band workout.

Okay, once the body is warmed up, it is time to move forward with the resistance band exercises, beginning with the very popular chest press. The chest press requires you to lock the resistance band to a stationary immovable object such as a door and with your back to the object, grip the resistance band with both hands and press forward keeping your palms down and your elbows bent. Adjust the tension by moving further from or closer to the door. Repeat the movement based on your fitness level.

Continue to concentrate on your upper extremity with the one arm chest fly. Keep the resistance band attached to the door at your shoulder height and tighten your chest while moving your arm towards your chest. Based on your fitness level, repeat the movement with the right and left arms.

Work your abs with crunches. Keep your resistance band attached to the door, go down on your knees and hold the band at your forehead. Keep your hips stationary and crunch your abs, pulling your elbows towards your thighs. Repeat. Squats should be a part of your lower body workout.

Step on the resistance band while holding both ends in your hands and adjust the tension by changing the distance of your legs. Repeat. Women, listen to your body and you will appreciate the versatility that resistance bands to your workout.

Working out your abdominal muscles can be a very frustrating assignment. The major reason being that most of the fat your body stores goes right there to your abdomen. It’s much easier to get say, your biceps and triceps in line than your abs.

 I have found that one of the paramount ways to help with developing your abs is to do ab exercises with resistance bands.

Resistance bands can add range to your workout and are great for people who are just starting out and seasoned veterans alike. You can work every part of your body with resistance bands but I have found that they are particularly good for working your belly.

They allow you to move freely and with a greater range of motion so you can get the most out of every rep. Because of the diversity they offer, your body will be well challenged which will lead to better development.

They also vary in degree of exertion so there is no need to think that it will be too easy or too hard.

Another great advantage of using them is that you can use then anywhere. If you don’t have the time to make it to the fitness center one day you can easily pull out your resistance bands and get your ab exercises done.

They are lightweight and take up limited space so traveling with them is also an option. If you are someone who is always on the go and you think that you can’t get your workouts in, think again. Just hook them up to any stable object and you are ready to go.

Some great ab exercises with resistance bands include:

1. Kneeling resistance band crunch (amazing exercise!)
2.  Ab crunches
3.  Stability ball crunch with resistance band (a little more difficult)

But what is the best workout with resistance bands?

Many folks who lift weights usually will tell you about the superiority of weight training as the best muscle builder. While free weights are good, working out with bands do provide some interesting benefits to building muscle  and fat loss.

In recent years workout bands have received a black eye… they were seen as something only a middle-aged women would use during some aerobic exercises with little to NO resistance. There are some interesting differences in resistance bands that make them a brilliant choice for working out… besides the convenience factor.

There are many advantages in working out with bands:

1. One of the wonderful advantages is that the resistance is maintained through every part of the exercise. During weight training exercises there is always a point in which there is NO resistance what so ever.

2. Resistance band exercises, utilizes both the concentric and eccentric part of the exercise. In this way you have a greater range of motion & more total muscle stimulation. The downside to resistance bands is really none to my knowledge. Unless you’re interested in looking like a gigantic bodybuilder than there’s some limitations, but if you’re the average guy and gal bands are excellent for shaping and toning.

SIDE NOTE: Here are a few things to know about you training with resistance bands.

When selecting exercise bands for your workout the most crucial factor is in deciding which resistance band is appropriate for your strength level. The best resistance bands have the ability to attach many bands to the handle similar to adding weights on a dumbbell.

Also, when executing an exercise, the band should be secured in a way so the length is correct to give resistance even at the bottom of the exercise. An exceptional way to do this is with the use of a door anchor.

Play some motivating songs and workout in an area where you won’t be interrupted.

Here are 2 of the top exercise to lose fat with. Do them and you’ll have a hard time NOT losing fat. I am going to give you one gym exercise and one home exercise. This way, you get the best of both worlds. Check these out now if fat loss has been a problem for you.

1. Treadmill interval training

Most gym goers waste their time either doing “same speed” cardio or walking on the treadmill. This steady ”same speed” cardio does nothing. Sure, it helps, but the results are poor compared to the amount of time and effort put into them. Just make a small adjustment and your fat loss will take off.

That adjustment is to incline the treadmill slightly and move back and forth between normal walking and fast runs. Fast walk for 45 seconds and then do a quick 30 seconds fast run. You’ll get the hang of it with the manual buttons. Just aim for something along those lines. You don’t have to be 100% precise.

If you were to do this for 20 minutes, you’ll turn your body into a fat loss burning machine. AND… this is even with the fact that you only ran about 20 times for 10 seconds… a total of 200 seconds running (just over 3 minutes).

2. Rope Jumping

Ok, for women reading this. I get it, this is something you really don’t consider a “girl exercise”. Look past that notion. Jumping rope is excellent for fat loss and firming your thighs. All i want you to do is jump rope 5 minutes a day, 6 days a week. You don’t need to be a pro at this either.

Jump rope for a minute and stop. Do it during tv commercials. You DON’T have to do all 5 minutes non-stop.

Listen, I made this pretty basic for you. Weight loss isn’t as complicated as people make it out to be. Do that 1 exercise when you’re in the gym and jump rope just about everyday while your at home. SIMPLE.

These are 2 of the best exercises to lose weight with.

Just got back from the gym training my wife and let me tell you guys I kicked her butt. After she left the gym, she was struggling to walk down the steps at the gym. She thanked me for the workout as she was working out casually with one of her girlfriends. As a result of the casual training, she gained a few pounds.

You see casual training to me is like daytime television, it’s mundane and boring.  That’s why today, I shook things up a little for her. We worked out together before after she gave birth to Destiny, but after a while due to our babysitting situation, she started working out with her girlfriend doing long, boring cardio session on the treadmill.

Everybody know how I feel about long drawn out cardio - I hate it with a passion. So today, we did high intensity interval training with resistance bands and a pair of dumbells. here’s the workout… enjoy.

Make sure you super-set each exercise and then rest for 45 seconds.  For example, execute exercise A1 with A2. Do one after the other without any rest. Once you complete the set, rest for 45 seconds and do it all over again for a total of three sets.

1. A1)Alternating Lunges and press w/ Dumbells - 3 x 20
2. A2)resistance band squat and press -  3 x 10
3. B1)resistance band lateral lunge and press - 3 x 10
4. B2)resistance band speed punch - 3 x 10
5. C1) resistance band chest press and squat 3x 20
6. 20 minutes of interval training on the eliptical
