Resistance Band Workout: Chest - Made Fit TV - Ep 57

The chest muscles take up a large portion of your upper torso.  The pectoralis muscles connect and help support your shoulder muscles, too.  So, it makes sense for both men and women to train them hard to take advantage of the residual calorie burn.  But if you’re bored with barbell bench presses or have hit a plateau, challenge your chest with resistance bands.

Resistance bands are a great tool because they can work in virtually all ranges of motion.  It’s all in how you train, though, that delivers the gains you want.  You can’t allow the elasticity of the bands to determine your strength and motion.  YOU have to control the bands in both the contractions and the eccentric (negative) motion - resulting in more effective results.

In this week’s Made Fit TV podcast, I show you how to use resistance bands effectively and creatively to target your chest.  Bands are pretty affordable and mobile, so you can do these movements anywhere!
