I Am Officially Obsessed with Resistance Bands
For ages I did the same ol' pilates video that I started doing a couple of years after college when I threw my back out cleaning the kitchen floor. It did the trick and I never had back problems again, but it was pretty desultory, exercise-wise.
Recently my mom had to do some physio after a knee injury and she used resistance bands. Out of curiosity more than anything, I got some of my own and tried them. Next thing you know, I was YouTubing and Googling every resistance band exercise I could find, grouping them into routines by body part, discarding ones I didn't like and replacing them with ones I did.
That was two months ago and I've settled into a five day a week program of arms, abs, legs, back then repeating whichever one of the four I feel like doing again on Saturday. I use the lowest resistance band still, but I'm already significantly stronger. The benefits in jar opening alone have been worth it all.

Re: I Am Officially Obsessed with Resistance Bands
I thought this would be a thread about music that I didn't like.

Re: I Am Officially Obsessed with Resistance Bands
I thought the thread was about exercise resistance bands.
Like the two purple ones I have around here that I can't find! Both are missing? Hmm. Methinks I (not so) cleverly put them together in a place I'd be able to remember later.
How very wrong I was.

You should have tied a knot in one to remind you.

How weird. You lose yours and livius "gets some of her own". At the same time. How quaint ...
