The SPARTAN Strength Bands: What Are They?

As opposed to weights and other traditional strength equipment, these resistance bands can be utilized to mimic exercises for every muscle group. Because of the variable resistance, they will engage the core, recruiting the full kinetic chain with each exercise. This turns a traditional singular muscle group exercise into a total body exercise. Essentially, your body will not be able to perform any movement with a resistance band, unless the core is activated. This helps to eliminate compensations and biomechanical imbalances.

Over the next few {weeks, days, etc.}, we will be showing you how to target each specific muscle group with the SPARTAN Strength Bands. This will be a 6-part series targeting a different grouping of muscles each day. At the end of this series, you will be able to put together a full 6-day training program.
