RESISTANT BAND TRAINING!

-

 

Resistance bands can break down over time due to normal wear and tear from use. It is important to inspect resistance bands frequently to ensure they are in safe operating condition. Also, many of the injuries from resistance band exercises come from improper use. Please make sure the rules for safe use are posted and that members follow them.

  • Never release a resistance band while under tension. A release under tension can cause the band to snap back toward the user and result in significant injury.
  • Begin all exercises slowly to ensure band strength.
  • Avoid jerking the band.
  • Inspect bands and handles before every use. Check for cuts, nicks, scratches, cracks, punctures, discoloration, or anything that looks like the band may be weakened in that area. If any flaws are discovered discard the band immediately and never attempt to repair a damaged band.
  • Do not place the resistance band handles over feet. They can easily slip off and strike the user.
  • Never stretch a resistance band over 2.5 times their length.
  • Do not exercise with resistance bands on uneven surfaces
  • Resistance bands are not toys and should never be used for any activity other then the specific exercises they were designed for.
