Those who follow strength routines in the gym will know that modifying and including new exercises in their training program is the foundation for continuing to increase their strength and muscle size.
That is why, for all those who give hard to the machines in the gym, we want to explain that there are alternatives to include new stimuli in training and this can be achieved with elastic bands.
For those who are looking for an exercise routine that can be done in any space, inside or outside of a gym, elastic bands are also the ideal alternative because they serve to train the whole body and can be adapted to any level.
What Types of Elastic Bands are There?
Currently, we have different types of elastic bands or rubber bands, the traditional ones are those that have a plastic handle at each end of the rubber band and are tubular (which are the ones with which we are going to perform the exercises).
There are also flat elastic bands made of rubber that can be both closed (circular) and open.
In the gym and free weight room of the DiR Clubs, you will see how many with different types of elastic bands and even different colors.
The color of the rubber indicates its level of resistance, which is usually yellow, the weakest, followed by red, green and blue, increasing the level of resistance progressively.

Back Exercises With Bands Guide
The members of the fitness and product department of Clubs DiR propose up to 10 exercises to perform with elastic bands, we will explain them below.
Press with elastic resistance tapes
We place half of the elastic band on a rigid support that is more or less at the height of our chest. We grasp the two grips with each hand, slightly flex the front leg and stretch the one that is left behind.
Stretch our arms forward, maintaining a 90º angle with our shoulders. It is important to keep your back straight at all times and your palms facing the ground.
Row-Squat with resistance band
This exercise is advisable for those who suffer from back discomfort because rowing is one of the best to strengthen the back muscles. When doing the squat, avoid bending your back forward, bend your knees to 90º and “stick your butt out” out. Remember not to lift your heels off the ground at any time.
Row traction with elastic band
A simple exercise similar to the one performed on the rowing machine, but this time we do it standing up and with the elastic band attached to a fixed point.
In this case, we must perform the traction with the arms little by little, maintaining the final position for 1 or 2 seconds and returning to the initial position without being carried away by the elastic band.
And also, maintaining resistance in our arms to return in a controlled way.

We can apply a variant to the previous exercise by performing the movement with only one arm. You must initiate the movement with the scapula before performing the elbow flexion. You can hold the final position for 1 or 2 seconds and return to the starting position by controlling the movement.
Triceps with Back Exercises With Bands
This time we will step on the elastic band with the heel of the foot, grab the handles by placing our hands behind the head next to each other and push up as shown in the image.
Remember to put one leg forward and not bend your back forward when you do the movement.

Resistance Band Bicep Curl
Standing, with your feet hip-width apart and stepping on the rubber band, you must grasp each end with the palm of your hands facing forward and your arms close to your body.
