Workout bands are most favorite of excising women. They are light, available in all shape sizes and colors. They are durable too unlike their partners. A study found women who used workout bands regularly lost 30 % more fat than those who used other equipment. Workout bands are very convenient and effective in not only making women leaner but are also effective to increase muscle strength.
How workout bands work
Well, you can think of them as extra-large rubber bands with handles. They come in different resistances. Like beginners go for least resistant bands while experience ones choose moderate to high resistance bands. When you lift weights, you resist your muscle movements with weights. Resistance bands do the same job. But resistant bands are safer and cheaper than weights. You also take them with you almost everywhere.

Disadvantages of workout bands
I will not call them disadvantages rather limitations seems more suitable word. You can’t have a shredded muscular body with them because there is a limit to the resistance the bands can offer. They are no match to weights if you are serious about bodybuilding. You will need firm support to stuck one end of resistant bands, which is no available everywhere.
