Question about resistance bands

Hi Cathe,

I don't know if this has been asked before (my apologies if it has), but what brand of resistance bands are you using in the new workouts?

Also, when filming the workouts, did you find that your muscles were being fatigued sufficiently compared to a weighted workout?

The reason I ask is that I am moving from the UK to the USA in July (permanently!) and will be without my workout equipment for a couple of months whilst my stuff is being shipped over. Someone has suggested that I purchase some resistance tubing so that I can continue with my strength and toning work, which I think is a great idea as I can also use them with your new workouts that I've pre-ordered.

I have worked really hard with your workouts for the past few months and have made great strength and fitness gains as well as losing 28 lbs in weight - I don't want to undo too much of my good work!

Many thanks in advance for any input as well as all you have done for me through your workouts.

Josie :)
 
Hi,

Just wanted to add my own experience here, after 2 years of Cathe weights I had to temporarily switch to resistance bands when I entered 6 months of intensive training for my black belt, and I would get home so late from a 90 minute class I couldn't bear to lift weights on top of it. The martial arts school has a resistance band class before my tae kwon do class so I did it 2-3 times a week for the last 4 or 5 months. I scoffed at it at first but got over that pretty fast. I am finally able to fit in Cathe weights now that I have my black belt and my training schedule is back to normal I have found that I have not lost any strength at all, in fact I felt a bit stronger! Also a plug point for the bands is that they really seemed to lean me out and they really improved my endurance. I'm going to keep doing the band class in combination with Cathe.

Good luck on your move!

Thanks for sharing your experiences on the band Jill and your well wishes for my pending move :) (I am getting very excited about the move now!)

Can I just ask, what brand of band did you use at your martial arts school?

Thanks again
Josie
 
Glad someone else asked this first :)
Waiting for the answer so I figure out where to stick them in my budget.
