Tubing for toning

[hippahips]

In my quest to find safer and gentler lower body exercises because of my knees, I want to know if anyone has tried tubing instead of free weights for lower body work. How did it go for you? Can you compare your results with tubing and those you got from weighted squats and lunges?

Also, is there a book out there that outlines exercises using only tubing/resistance bands?

Thanks.

Hi Pinky! I have resistance tubing but have not used them regularly enough to report on results. bodytrends.com has a lot of books and information on training with resistance tubing. I have several and will be using them with Cathe's new workouts soon to be delivered (Yay!) Here is a link to a book from bodytrends.com:

Browse their website, there is a wealth of information. I have ordered from them and they were really good. Also check out http://www.spriproducts.com/

Rhonda, I can't comment on any of the books as I don't have them. They look pretty good though....;-)

Vickie, thanks for the links. It's a lot of work... trying to protect one's knees.
