Maximize Your Workout: The Right Way to Use Resistance Bands

A pair of premium resistance bands can work better than a traditional, linear, (boring) fitness program. But there’s one huge limiting factor in how they’re typically used, and you may be missing a huge movement opportunity.

Improve Your Balance with These Unilateral Exercises

Here’s the best way to get better balance: do unilateral exercises, regularly. Unilateral exercises are those that use only one side of your body. And you’ll get the best benefit if you incorporate several muscle groups (i.e. arm, low back, and hip).

Park Once

Gargantuan, colossal, whopping multiplexes that offer “one stop shopping” also offer a unique fitness opportunity. The fact is, they’re so large that you can get a pretty good workout simply by never moving your car once you’ve parked it.
