No, again it should be clarified from the beginning that this is not a trap holder. With a hook, that may be, but so real that it even falls short in the description of the virtues that treasure these authentic weapons of mass toning called elastic bands.

Light, versatile, easy to use and very cheap (can be purchased for less than 10 euros), these tires are, without a doubt, one of the best investments that can be made to train at home.

The repertoire of exercises that can be done with them is almost unlimited and allow you to activate the muscles of the whole body without impact on the joints. What are its other great advantages, in addition to those already listed, with respect to other fitness equipment? The resistance that they oppose in each movement forces the muscle to perform extra work with respect to what the weights imply.

In addition to toning, they are very useful for heating before training, stretching and in the rehabilitation processes after an injury. Using them properly enhances a mobility that almost all of us have greatly reduced due to the lack of physical activity.

What should we consider when using them? First, put our safety first . Always use approved materials and in good condition to avoid possible (and painful) 'lashes'. Take care of the technique and consult qualified professionals which would be the training that suits us according to our age, physical condition and objectives.

The personal trainer Noe Todea will show us this Sunday, starting at 9 am, in 'Salud a day' (Telemadrid program produced by UEtv), how to use the elastic bands to stretch, expand our range of mobility and tone up so much the upper train as the lower with a very simple table of exercises.

WARNING: it is essential to consult a professional about the convenience of starting a training program. Also listen to the calls of our body and stop before any symptoms of discomfort, dizziness or pain.
