I find it very funny when a person thinks that they can’t get results from a Bodylastics workout. I’ve seen and read a few comments from people, such as… “Oh Those Resistance Bands Won’t Get Me Any Muscle Building Results, Only Free Weights or a Home Gym Will.”
These type of statements are false and misleading. It seems that these individuals have been brainwashed or are acting just like robots. They will only do what they’re told and won’t try anything new. All the hype on the Internet and on TV saying, “This home gym will give you amazing results in as little as 3 days.”
People here this and they say well, it must be true they’re saying it. They pitch it as though their product is the only way to achieve bodybuilding results. It’s a dirty shame.
The truth is, no matter how you exercise, you will get results. There are certain things that you must do though, in order to make sure that you get the proper results you want from your workouts. To achieve proper muscle growth, you must follow these key principles.
Key Elements to a Bodylastics Workout Or Any Muscle Building Program
Proper Rest:
Your muscles don’t grow while you’re working out you’re actually tearing muscle fiber. Muscle grows while you are asleep; the body releases “growth hormone”, which aids in the growth of muscle. This is why it is extremely important to get at least eight hours of sleep every night especially if you’re following an intense workout program.
Progressive Resistance:
All that this means is that each time you workout, you add a little more weight than last time. This is one of the main issues with exercises such as push-ups; backspace. In this type of body weight workout, you’re only using your own body’s weight as resistance. Consequently, the more push-ups you perform the less you are impacting the strength building and muscle building properties of your body.
High repetition bodyweight exercises are great for building muscular endurance however; they do nothing to increase muscular size or greater strength.
Proper Nutrition:
In addition to getting adequate rest, you must feed your body in order for it to grow. I love it when I see on TV, you can still diet and become muscular and lean at the same time. It’s an oxymoron.
So that’s what I was originally talking about, “Can a Bodylastics Workout Get You Results.”
It seems so silly to me that this is even discussed. The answer is, of course you can. How big you get is based on how much you workout, how many calories you consume and if you get proper rest.
You can grow muscle with resistance bands workouts just as well as free weights, Bowflex or any other home gym. In fact, there are some exercises that are done better with resistance bands; however, we will discuss that at a later date.
If you are currently using free weights, dumbbells or even the P90X workout you may want to incorporate some of the tips that you have read about in this article into your exercise routine. If you are using resistance bands, then take the ideas presented in this Bodylastics workout article and you’ll quickly see the difference in muscle size, strength and lean muscle mass.
