I'm trying to get back to exercising
So I have a couple questions/comments, the usual.
Can you gain muscle with resistance bands? I keep hearing they are for toning only. My space, well, I have no space actually. SO, resistance bands for me, are the alternative to metal weights, and there's no room for a gym system either.
I bought a 20lb. and a 30lb. resistance band, and have started exercises with them. I feel burning after doing two sets of curls, but not as intensely as if I were using a 20lb. barbell. And I have to do more reps, so I try to do other exercises and come back to a second set of curls at the end.
I'm definitely nowhere near as active as I used to be. I work a sit down job m-f 10 to 11 hours a day, then I come home and sit down in front of the computer until bed time. So I've been trying to do some sort of exercise activity.
So far I've only been using the 20lb. band. Going to use the 30lb. when the 20lb. feels like it's too easy.
