Resistance Bands Science

Rehab for a tennis elbow doesn't need to be terribly complex. Really what we are trying to do is find a way to load wrist extension. We are going to show you an easy option that we like more than other exercises. What we're going to do is just take a band, hold it and then walk out to get some tension on it. Then, take your opposite fist and put it right on the inner forearm next to the wrist. That's going to give you a little bit of support as we start working with this. Then from there, just pull back against the band by extending at the wrist. And you are going to feel a nice burn here throught the forearm as you do that.  If you need to make it a bit easier, just step in or get a lighter band. If you need to make it a little harder just step out or get a heavier band. Minimal changes here make a big difference making it very easy to progress and regress back as needed. But work throught it, gradually progress at it, and things will start feeling a bit better. ...

 The biceps can also be strengthened with elastic bands. The first thing we are going to do is measure the tape and focus on the middle of it. Then we stand with a distance between the two feet where the middle of the tape is. To know if we are well placed, we must stop and grab the elastic band at each end. For this exercise, an elastic band with grip is mandatory. Afterwards, raise your arms a little and feel the same tension in both arms, then proceed. 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Rest of 2 to 3 minutes between each series. Do not arch your back in no time. Slow movements, 4 seconds to go down and up. Strengthening the biceps. 1 Position 2 Position
