RBT Resistance Band Training

The contraction I get with bands is not matched by anything else. Plus Workouts are short, very intense, and fun. My condition improved very much, I lost some body fat, I do not feel “beaten” after a workout any more, and most important, the pains are gone.

Hi Dave,

I am definitely for bands. I am now 53 years old and have been training for about 40 years.

I have done almost anything you can think of: barbells and dumbbells, sandbags, kegs, tires, kettlebells, clubbells, bodyweight, and finally bands.

I have competed in powerlifting and bodybuilding, but it was a long time ago 🙂

I was doing bodyweight only workouts already for about 5 years. Lots of pushups, pull-ups, and lunges. I had bought a set of bands to help me progress with pull-ups.

The volume of training had become so high (500 push-ups, 150 pull-ups, and 20 minutes of lunges) that it was very time consuming and the elbows were beginning to ache more and more until I could not do pull-ups without pain.

I thought I could use those bands I had to work out differently, and it worked tremendously. The contraction I get with bands is not matched by anything else.

Workouts are short, very intense, and fun. My condition improved very much, I lost some body fat, I do not feel “beaten” after a workout anymore, and most importantly, the pains are gone.

I train now exclusively with bands for about 4 months, and I love it. Workouts every other day for about 20 minutes. The bands I use the most are the 50, 80 and 100 lbs.

The videos you post in your weekly newsletter are very helpful to set up routines with effective exercises.

Have a great day,

In the short time I’ve had the bands and especially the Dynamic Stabilizers the long standing issues I’ve had with my knees , hips and glutes have diminished.

I’m an avid runner, I’ve run several marathons including the Boston Marathon.

Last year I kept getting injured because I was just running and not strengthening my body enough to handle the load. I found RBT on YouTube and ordered bands and Stabilizers.

The BANDS are fantastic and so portable. BUT The BAND GYM is even better as I can now train with a directed purpose. However, the BEST part of The BAND GYM is having access to DAVE and having him guide you through your training. In the short time I’ve had the bands and especially the Dynamic Stabilizers the long-standing issues I’ve had with my knees, hips and glutes have diminished.

Thank You RBT and Dave, I can’t recommend the Bands, the Band Gym, and Dave any stronger. My only regret is that I had not come across RBT and Dave sooner.

Usually, after a month of not surfing, I’m a bit off and out of shape. Not this time!! In fact, I have never felt stronger……. On top of that, my husband has been using the bands for a year now to alleviate his lower back pain. Not only does he have a 6 pack at 45 years old, best of all, the bands are the antidote for his pain.

Hi Dave! I really need to share this with you and shoutout a big THANK YOU for your videos and your passion with your bands. My husband and I live in Hawaii and we are avid surfers. I’m a surf instructor as well. Our goal is to be in the best shape possible for what we do. We recently took a trip to New Jersey to visit family and we stayed a month. I was concerned that I was going to lose my surf fitness, but we took our bands with us and every day, we did our workout. It was 99% bands plus the addition of a TRX trainer. We just got back and went for a surf. Usually, after a month of not surfing, I’m a bit off and out of shape. Not this time!! In fact, I have never felt stronger. My paddling and balance were all on point thanks to the bands! On top of that, my husband has been using the bands for a year now to alleviate his lower back pain. Not only does he have a 6 pack at 45 years old, best of all, the bands are the antidote for his pain. Amazing and awesome. I can’t live without them and neither can he. Again, thank you, thank you for your product and the knowledge you put on YouTube!!!!

I’m not a personal trainer, but with the knowledge you’ve armed me with (In The Band Gym), I’m pretty sure I could get results as if I was or hired one !

Hi Dave

It would seem others are now starting to see the benefits of bands you’ve been preaching for years. Think I’ve said before, but I’ve got to say it again – you’ve really nailed it with the band gym & the best value is you teach fitness lessons that last a life-time – I’m not a personal trainer, but with the knowledge you’ve armed me with, I’m pretty sure I could get results if I was hired as one! My heart rate is in an athlete range & my metabolic age is way younger than my natural one – around 15 years less, last time I was tested!

Thanks again for all you do, I’m sure you have a bigger impact than you realize, look forward to hearing from you soon

I take my bands when traveling – ie Maui by the beach is my favorite setting! Many thanks for your frequent emails with new exercises.

Hi Dave,

I’ve been using bands for over 3 years. I turn 65 in August. Work out 5 times per week. Two days of bands, 2 days of walking 18 holes of golf (6 miles per round), and add in a short Wog (walk-jog combo). I’m fanatical about my band routine, mixing in some yoga and stretching. Lots of core stuff helps my lower back. Wonderful not to be laid up several times a year in pain.

The pump you get on band training is absolutely CRAZY!

Dave… I have trained with bands for about 2 years now. Before I trained with free weights for about 10 years. But I will say the pump you get on band training is absolutely CRAZY! It beats any arm curls you can do 🙂

I am more athletic now at 56, then when I was in high school. And that’s no exaggeration.

I want to thank you, Dave! For the first time in 15 years, I participated in our school’s staff/student softball game. It’s been a long time since I felt like participating. I actually got two hits which for me is quite an accomplishment, and I was able to run the bases with ease, another accomplishment. I give a lot of credit to the workouts you have designed. I am more athletic now at 56, then when I was in high school. And that’s no exaggeration. My next goal is to train for a half marathon. I’m also enjoying the new cardio shred.
Thanks again,

I do all my training with bands. They are perfect for protecting joints, promoting mobility, and fitness.

Dave,

Thanks for the swift response. I do all my training with bands. They are perfect for protecting joints, promoting mobility, and fitness. I gave away all my weights a couple of years ago. I’d taken on board your information about injury and damage to the body. In my late 70’s, I find that bands are ideal. I have abandoned the notion of testing my strength with weights, and instead, make full use of the full range I have of your excellent bands.

Your points about timed routines are well taken, but I like sets and reps. I guess it is as simple as that. EG: drop sets; sets to failure with thunder bands: chest presses, squat rows – a great exercise. The sheer variety is remarkable.

Overall, I am feeling good and fit using bands. That is the best test.

The Gym is a great institution. Thanks for all the support.

Kind regards,

I just wanted to thank you for the videos and the Quantum bands that have been a key part in my stroke recovery.

I am OK today. I just wanted to thank you for the videos and the Quantum bands that have been a key part of my stroke recovery.

I have a full-fledged “band gym” in my basement, and I can now do overhead exercises I never thought possible again.

I have experienced shoulder issues, pinched nerve in the neck, and knee pain all in the last couple of years. I had stopped going to the gym and was sick of doing only PT exercises. I found you through online searches and loved your message. I watched a ton of the FREE resources you provide, and slowly but surely built strength, stamina, and flexibility using your band exercises and program. I particularly appreciate how responsive you have been by email even before I was a paid member! I am a true believer and appreciate how you continue to provide new material every week. I have a full-fledged “band gym” in my basement, and I can now do overhead exercises I never thought possible again. I am even starting to feel that running might be in my future again! Thanks for all you do!

I am stronger and more flexible than I thought possible

Hello Dave,

I’ve been using your bands and programs for about 8 months. I can say that I am stronger and more flexible than I thought possible. I stayed fit for decades through running and free weights. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, my body started to show some wear and tear a couple of years ago at age 56. Because of lower back issues, I’ve had to cut back on running and workouts with free weights that caused unfamiliar achiness and soreness. I almost resigned myself to limited workouts and a marginal fitness level. Fortunately, a local physical therapist recommended your training systems. The results have been amazing. I’ve successfully completed some beginner and intermediate level programs and I look forward to stepping it up a bit.

Thank you for any support you can provide.

These bands are helping me strengthen my core better than anything I have tried. My overall strength and stamina is remarkable!

Hey Dave! I just wanted to share with you how much I love working out with these bands. Today I went hiking up a steep incline and scaled it like a Ram! I’m 53 years old and went through a back fusion 2.5 years ago that left me with radiculopathy. These bands are helping me strengthen my core better than anything I have tried. My overall strength and stamina is remarkable! I appreciate your knowledge and teachings of these bands. Thank you!

Thank you for getting me onto bands helping my joints feel amazing!

Dave

I have improved my shoulder health greatly by using the bands 3 times per week for 30 minutes with exercises you’ve shown me. The pain is all but gone. I owe you a lot for getting rid of my pain, that alone was worth 10 times the price of the bands.

Thank you for getting me onto bands helping my joints feel amazing!

Hey Dave! Sharing my update. One week in with RBT & I have religiously done the Double Vector Butt Buster every day for at least 1-2 rounds of 30s on/15s rest of those 8 exercises. I feel amazing!!!! A lot of my hip pain from a prior labral tear surgery is feeling better as well!!! Thank you thank you!

These bands have changed my life and my body.

Hi Dave!

You do an incredible job of educating your customers and marketing your bands. I am a 49 yr old trainer and neuromuscular therapist. I have systemic Lupus(which includes rheumatoid arthritis). These bands have changed my life and my body. The fact that I can have the bands wrap around my wrists is not only great for my hands but really allows me to sculpt the muscle rather than overuse my hands and forearms.

Thank you for providing a quality product.

You’ve inspired me to continue training and coming up with fun and creative exercises.

Dave, you’re great! I love watching your videos ( I put those workouts to use also lol), and even mix them up in my own routines. I love how passionate you are about training, and in particular, resistance bands! I am a firm believer that you can totally transform your body and get in great shape using them.

You’ve inspired me to continue training and coming up with fun and creative exercises. I love bands, and I love training at home. So thanks again for all that you do and keep the resistance going haha!

My balance and flexibility is better than ever. (at 72) That is because I have moved from almost entirely weight training to Resistance Bands…

Dave is “The Authority” on band training and Dave’s article “Movement Vs Muscle” is spot on.

I am turning 72 this month. I am not as strong as I was in my 50’s but I am stronger than most men 20 years my junior. My balance and flexibility is better than ever. That is because I have moved from almost entirely weight training to Resistance Bands, Yoga and some moderate weight training. Any time I lift weights more than moderately, I feel it in my joints far more than in my muscles and that is not a good thing. I have a variety of resistance band types and brands. I have tried other resistance band training programs. Dave’s bands and his training programs are the best I have found anywhere.

My disease is progressing but the band’s give me confidence.

You’re the best! Band workouts came at just the right time. My disease is progressing but the band’s give me confidence. I don’t have to fear throwing/dropping weights and the band’s move with me without the pull of gravity. Totally enjoying it! You need to market this to the handicapped

I train only with bands three to four times a week for thirty to forty minutes….. My Chiropractor confirmed that my back is in excellent condition

Dave

I’m seventy-eight. I trained with weights for years. When I passed seventy, motivation reduced: I worried about lower back pain and injured joints. I gave my weights and power rack to a friend’s grandson, a keen bodybuilder.

I trained with Kettlebells for several years and enjoyed short, intense routines. However, when I passed seventy-five, I had the same concerns as when I trained with weights. Training with kettlebells, I discovered Dave Schmitz and Getting Better With Bands; a God Send. Bands gradually replaced Kettlebells. I’ve not trained with Kettlebells this past year.

Now I train only with bands three to four times a week for thirty to forty minutes. I feel the better for it. My Chiropractor confirmed that my back is in excellent condition and I’m in decent shape. These days there are no aches and pains.

Thanks, Dave for the great equipment and advice.

Kind regards,

I’m not a spring chicken (53 yrs old), but have found RBT and the BANDs to be a more conducive way for me to train more dynamically over the years….. I’m an avid runner and just completed my 8th marathon last month

Dave,

Appreciate the opportunity for the sneak peak into the new BAND GYM. Like to formal and layout. Simple to use and find things I was looking for.

I’ve had the pleasure of getting emails from you over the last five years, which got me to purchase a variety of band products that I’ve used and introduced to my sons as well. I’m not a spring chicken (53 yrs old), but have found RBT and the BANDs to be a more conducive way for me to train more dynamically over the years.

I’m an avid runner and just completed my 8th marathon last month so not interested in bulking up. Rather I’ve found the bands enable me to “lift” and strengthen my upper & lower body in a way to keep my posture strong late on long training runs and the marathons.

My two sons run XC in college as well and trying to direct them to use bands as well in addition to their weight & strength conditioning programs at school. For me, I like the simplicity of being able to bring my ‘gym’ equipment with me on the road and workout like I want to wherever I am.

Grateful for all of the details and workouts you’ve provided over the years. I’ve kept many of those emails as a way to go back and check what I’m doing and what other nuggets I may have missed the first time. Great new site and thanks again for making this information and yourself available to me and so many others. Appreciate your availability and more so interest in helping people. Take care and have a good day.

Peace,

Since beginning resistance band training I have lost 12 pounds and I’m really seeing the difference.

Dave, Since beginning resistance band training I have lost 12 pounds and I’m really seeing the difference. For the first time in 25 years, I am under 200 pounds. I have lost a total of 60 pounds and while most of the weight has been lost prior to beginning resistance band training, I am actually SEEING more of a difference since beginning RBT. Thanks again!

At 70, I have typical joint issues, but your core stabilization exercises (banded planks) helped my low back, and the hip work (push outs, etc) got those nice and loose.

Hey Dave,

Just completed my first full-fledged band workout a few minutes ago and it went very well. At 70, I have typical joint issues, but your core stabilization exercises (banded planks) helped my low back, and the hip work (push outs, etc) got those nice and loose. Got a good sweat over 60 minutes and, maybe best of all, I suspect bands are easier on the nervous system. (I can no longer work hard enough with weights to get a good sweat going.)

I’m very pleased with the early progress. I probably will need to have a bone spur in my right shoulder shaved, but with bands, I expect rehab to go better than my previous shoulder surgery.

My only regret is not getting to you sooner.

Thanks,

I have been using Quantum Bands myself and instructing all our employees, staff and clients for 15 years here at Bellin on their benefits and I will continue to do my best to get people to make a better CHOICE.

I totally agree with using Bands Dave. I have been using them myself and instructing all our employees, staff and clients for 15 years here at Bellin on their benefits and I will continue to do my best to get people to make a better CHOICE. I have recently been tasked to fill in as a CSCS at one of our contracted schools and have introduced RBT to the athletes and they love them. I knew they would and its great watching young athletes enjoy their workouts with bands.

I should have replied a while back but I loved your response to the gentleman who asked about traditional strength training vs using bands. I have been send that information to every man I get a chance to, trying to convince them to make bands a major part of their workouts.

Keep up the great work. I love your emails.

It’s interesting to have a coach who has their foundation in physical therapy and yet is an athlete as well. I feel like I get the best of both worlds, athleticism based in knowledge of kinesiology.

Thanks for the update and reminder. This speaks to your integrity and I really appreciate it. I’ve lifted for 35+ years and know how to program my workouts in that realm. Having just turned 50 this month my goals have changed. I have mobility issues due to tightness and a bit of arthritis in my spine, not to mention some shoulder issues. I’ve been trying to incorporate some stretching and yoga into my week but I work 55 hours a week (literally. No exaggeration) and can only workout about a half hour a day. I travel for my job so my workout has to be mobile too. Prior to working so much and having 6 children I was an ultra runner too but that had to go by the wayside. I say all this to say bands and your philosophy of movement first and the flexibility of bands to be used anywhere fists my needs perfectly. I’ve been working out for 2+ weeks using the bands -stretching with them as well- and have felt some benefit in reduced pain in my low back and thoracic region as well. I need to keep learning so, I say all this to say I’m staying on with you for a bit. I’m loving the bands and am feeling better and feel confident that I can keep my fitness and rehab myself as well in the areas I need to. It’s interesting to have a coach who has their foundation in physical therapy and yet is an athlete as well. I feel like I get the best of both worlds, athleticism based in knowledge of kinesiology. I work with a lot of geriatrics so I see what happens when one stops moving and loses mobility (I’m a hospice care social worker) and muscle. I truly feel like I have found the system that I can use for the rest of my life to have total fitness in all parameters-strength, mobility, cardio, power, speed, etc… Prior to finding your info and products I was doing bodyweight stuff. That fits all my needs but I like being able to add resistance as well and the bands allow me to do that while staying still allowing me to work out when and where I need to. So, I’m staying on as a member so I can keep learning. Thanks so much.

I think I’ve finally found the workout solution for me that I can do for the rest of my life, anywhere, anytime.

Hey I just wanted to check in. I’ve had my bands for two weeks now and am loving it. I’ve been active and athletic my whole life. Powerlifting has left my low back pretty torqued up and given me some arthritis in my lumbar spine. Two weeks of working out with the bands has already given me some relief while still allowing me to hit my body pretty hard. Just wanted to say thank you and I think I’ve finally found the workout solution for me that I can do for the rest of my life, anywhere, anytime. I’m 50 as of two weeks ago.

Band training provides a great adjunct and other new options for my patients, and in particular, some pretty complex/complex neurological and Orthopaedic cases.

Hey Dave

I am a manual physical therapist now going on 28 years. I use many perspectives to better treat my patient’s dysfunctions; movement and otherwise. I have used Theraband and now the CLX Theraband for assistance, resistance, postural facilitation, overflow, etc. Some years ago, I bought 2 sets of the 4 bands you had out at that time (red, black, purple and green). Now that I am 54, I personally use them as my knees and shoulders are wearing out. Thanks for all the videos and insights you provide. Band training provides a great adjunct and other new options for my patients, and in particular, some pretty complex/complex neurological and Orthopaedic cases. I often use various NDT based treatment techniques to assist patients in relearning proper movement patterns.

Again, thanks for all that you do.

Just finished Core Chaos. It was a great program and challenging

Hi Dave, Just finished Core Chaos. It was a great program and challenging at times, especially the elevated Bulgarian split squats. I feel my strength improved, the biggest improvement was in my balance. Working in the staggered stance really helps with the balance. I completed the RBT challenge ( squat row, chest press, NG lats row, BUP, curl, & triceps press) for time of 15:41 with black bands. I join Instagram to follow you and really enjoy the posts. I worked in one of the leg workouts, dynamic stabilizer workout, and old school Bicep/triceps workouts during the month for my extra weekly workout.

Dave

Love the bands–as a 62 year old they have a allowed me to keep a level of strength and athleticism (and even increase those things) well below my age. I think weights alone would have simply beat me up. I can still deadlift over 400 pound–and I rarely train the deadlift with weights.

Big celebration in my small little brain today. Today is my first day working with black band. I know it’s not much, but for me an middle aged guy trying to get into shape it been a long four months banging through the workouts.

As time goes on and I get a little older (42), I have noticed that heavy lifting not only produces a stiff, tight feeling, but also seems to retard my athleticism in a way; I actually feel as if I am less athletic when I lift heavy……. I notice a great deal more transfer (with athleticism) when I use bands.

Hey, Dave, I hope all is well!

As always, I want to thank you for all that you do in helping us get better with bands…much appreciated. As time goes on and I get a little older (42), I have noticed that heavy lifting not only produces a stiff, tight feeling, but also seems to retard my athleticism in a way; I actually feel as if I am less athletic when I lift heavy. Yes, I get better at lifting progressively heavier weight, but I do not honestly experience any real transfer in terms of athleticism. I do, however, notice a great deal more transfer when I use bands. I have a few friends, who have used pneumatic resistance and have enjoyed a large degree of transfer of training, but this type of equipment is more difficult to find where bands are super convenient.

I discovered resistance bands, and with them, I have seen more progress with less soreness and zero injuries than with other systems.

Dave,

I’ve been doing RBT for a couple of years and love it. I’m 74 and have been exercising all my life. I first started as a young Marine which led me into martial arts. Then came weights and gym machines. Only lately have I discovered resistance bands and with them I have seen more progress with less soreness and zero injuries than with other systems. I have even developed a band routine that replicates the motion of swimming with freediving long fins which improved my spear-fishing. Thanks Dave. I love your workouts.

I pretty much feel your Weekly Newsletter is a must-read, and out of all the internet sites I follow (get their emails), yours is my favorite. I just feel I’m going to learn something, pick up a useful tip. I watch all your videos and LOVE them! You’re pretty much a genius!!

Hi Dave,

I’m really enjoying the Band Gym, especially the exercise library. I’ve been using bands pretty much exclusively for about the last 3-4 years. I feel really comfortable with most of the exercises and their setup. I took your Band Certification a couple of years back. I’m kind of at the end of a 5-year ordeal which ended in my left hip being replaced. I had my hip replacement last December (anterior approach) and the recovery has been surprisingly great, but I worked extremely hard. Once I was able to get in the water, I did a lot of deep water and shallow water work which really helped. My insurance would only pay for 10 PT sessions, so I spread them out over a 3 month period. Your dynamic stabilizer exercises were my go-to exercises. I started them at 4-5 weeks post surgery. I also used the attached assisted lunge away with two linked purple bands, which really helped pop me back up. I also used two walking sticks to help with balance. We had twin boys 6 months prior to getting my diagnosis and my daughter was just 15 months older than the boys. I feel the bands really helped me manage my workout and helped put off the surgery until it was more convenient for the family. At this point, I feel I’m at about 90%. My goal is to take the next 6-9 months and get super fit. I’m finally able to work out hard for 3-4 days without any soreness. I’m really excited about working with you and getting your coaching input. I’ll probably check in with you every couple of weeks to let you know how things are going. On a side note, I pretty much feel your weekly newsletter is a must-read and out of all the internet sites I follow (get their emails), yours is my favorite. I just feel I’m going to learn something, pick up a useful tip. I watch all your videos and LOVE them! You’re pretty much a genius!!

I was really motivated by your enthusiasm and technical expertise in applying resistance bands to strength training and conditioning.

Hi Dave,

I’ve been following you for over 15 years and my personal training practice now revolves around using Bands-thanks to your influence.

I can’t remember where I first saw you back in the early 2000’s at a conference or seminar, but I was really motivated by your enthusiasm and technical expertise in applying resistance bands to strength training and conditioning.

I train mostly men 50s through 80s and preach and teach how bands are easier on the joints, provide greater full body workouts, and many other benefits that you can’t get with machines or free weights.

Also, from a trainer’s perspective, they allow me to move through the gym more freely, and I train people in their homes where they set up the gym only using bands.

Being 58 years old, I also have a lot of ortho problems, and the bands allowed me to continue to work out and make adjustments so I can stay in the game myself. Do you ever come to the East Coast to do seminars?

Thanks,

The fact that I can be a Dad again without pain (physically & without emotional embarrassment) by sharing simple things like throwing a football in the yard with my boy… I’m truly blessed, and beyond grateful.

I want to genuinely wish you a very Happy Father’s Day! You continually share the pride you have for your family in your RBT messages, and that’s an incredibly honorable and encouraging expression of a Father’s love! Congrats on being a great Dad!

Thanks again for helping me to be a better Dad to my kids… my daughter’s basketball team did so great with the bands that the club is considering them for all grade levels. And the fact that I can be a Dad again without pain (physically & without emotional embarrassment) by sharing simple things like throwing a football in the yard with my boy… I’m truly blessed, and beyond grateful.

Happy Father’s Day, Dave, it’s well-deserved!

My trainer (at One Fit Body) incorporated resistance band work into my weekly exercise routine almost three years ago. My balance, strength, and stability have improved, along with my overall fitness. I’m an avid golfer with a single digit handicap. I walk 18 holes 2 days a week, with no back pain – not bad for 63 years old. Thank you for your weekly exercise videos. I continue to expand my resistance band menu of options, which keeps my weekly program fresh and interesting. I take at least one band wherever I travel maintaining the discipline and staying fit. Thanks again!
