There are so many types of workout equipment. There are dumbbells, kettlebells, trx straps and more. I can see why many people have a challenging time choosing which type of workout equipment to buy. Especially if they have a tight budget. Workout bands in my opinion are a great choice for any level of fitness.
In general most effective exercises can be done with any type of fitness equipment. For example, every fitness program needs a rowing type of movement for proper back strength and to improve posture. Without getting too technical, you can do a row with a dumbbell, kettlebell and an exercise band.
Most resistance bands come with an attachment that allows you to utilize a closed door as a stable axis point to execute every exercise you need. Bands are also compact, so you can pack them easily for when you need a way to exercise while you travel.
So to answer your question βAre workout bands effective?β The answer is yes.
