You don’t have to head to the gym to do a full body workout. You can do a complete routine right in your own home with our Resistance Bands Trainer Kit
Resistance bands are great for those who want to exercise at home, or who like to take their workouts along when they travel. There are many benefits to these simple exercise tools, including versatility, convenience, safety, and effectiveness. The more you learn about the advantages of resistance band exercises, the more you'll be motivated to add them to your own home gym.
Resistance bands are typically sold individually or as a set. You can buy multiple resistance levels and still keep your costs low. Regardless, resistance bands are relatively inexpensive to add to your home gym equipment. Depending on where you like to shop, some resistance bands are even are sold with workout guides to help ou along the way.
Most resistance band trainer kits come with suggested exercises for nearly every major muscle group. Stepping on one end of a resistance band, using an anchor point on a door, or looping it around a stationary object or piece of furniture, for example, opens up many exercise possibilities. Don't let their simplicity fool you. Resistance band exercises are surprisingly effective and offer many benefits over traditional free weights.
These inexpensive exercise tools are a convenient option for people of any age or fitness level. Resistance bands come in multiple resistance levels, usually light, medium or heavy. You can further adjust the amount of resistance during exercise just by giving more or less slack on the band, as well as by combining multiple resistance bands to increase the weight.
Putting a treadmill away when company comes over can be overwhelming. Moving the dumbbells under the bed gets to be a hassle. This is not the case with the resistance bands. Small, light and flexible, they can be tucked away anywhere—including your handbag or gym bag! Take them to the office, put them in a suitcase, run them upstairs or downstairs: resistance bands are easy.
Because they are so small and portable, resistance bands are a great way to take your workout with you when you travel. There are many resistance band exercises that can easily be done in the small space of a hotel room, Air Bnb, or other open areas.
6. ADD VARIETY TO YOUR WORKOUTS
Over time, your muscles adapt to any new exercise routine. It's a good idea to mix it up by cross-training with free weights, machines and resistance band exercises. Each will work your muscles in a slightly different way.
Resistance bands offer strength-training without the risk of dropping a heavy weight on your foot or crushing your fingers between weight plates. That makes them ideal for working out when you don't have a personal trainer or exercise partner to spot you.
While resistance bands work great on their own, they can also be combined with other exercise equipment. Performing bicep curls with both a resistance band and a dumbbell will give you the combined benefits of each type of equipment.
While dumbbells provide you with a heavy lift, and weight machines are stable and easy to use, neither has the versatility of the resistance bands. You can begin performing a band squat and immediately add a bicep curl to the move. Or you can easily take a resistance band lunge and add an overhead press. The possibilities are endless.
Although there are differences between free weight and resistance band exercises, both are effective. Picture the arc motion your arm makes while doing a bicep curl. Free weights will feel heaviest at the beginning of that arc, while resistance bands make your muscles work harder at the end of the arc (when the band is most taut). Either way, your body is moving against resistance, and that will give your muscles an effective workout.
#FITINDEX

Your FITINDEX Smart Scale can measure the 13 body composition indexes that make up your body. First you will need to add your height, weight, age and gender to calibrate the calculation of your scale. There's also an 'Athlete Mode' that is useful for providing more accurate measurements to people who live a very active lifestyle.
Athlete Mode is for users that have a very active lifestyle because their body needs to be calculated differently from the average person. This mode simply lets the scale know to lower fat mass measurements and increase muscle mass measurement values to match the fit lifestyle and body composition of an athlete. It basically, recalibrates the body composition calculations of the FITINDEX Smart Scale to the typical behavior patterns of the user.
This mode should only be used if the user is 18 or above, does 6+ hours of intense exercise each week and has a resting heartbeat 60 beats per minute or lower.
We don’t recommend a ‘regular’ person to use Athlete Mode because enabling it does not modify the FITINDEX experience so you won’t miss out anyway. 'Normal mode' actually targets every other lifestyle and fitness level (i.e. dieters, weight losers/gainers, fit people) so Athlete Mode is only intended for hardcore athletes.
Just like inputting the incorrect height, weight, age and gender; selecting Athlete Mode won't help you lose weight faster. Instead, it will over-calibrate the 13 body composition indexes and provide erroneous data about what is going on within your body.
Athlete Mode can be turned on and off in your profile settings. A new body composition calculation will count towards your new weighing from thereon, this means that the status will only be applied for new measurements.
Whichever mode you choose, the changes in your data should not change too drastically between measurements, you may notice small percentage shifts between your measurements based on the time of weighing and other external factors though.
