Tuấn Đạt (Theo Healthline) |

Resistance bands are often preferred by many housewives because of their convenience, however, if used incorrectly, they can cause injury and affect health.

Resistance bands, when used properly, will help improve muscle strength and increase body flexibility. According to experts at the health website Healhtline, resistance bands must be used properly, otherwise it can easily lead to injury or not achieve the desired results.

Housewives should pay attention to the mistakes below to avoid when exercising with resistance bands at home.

Choosing the wrong resistance band

Each type of resistance band has a different tension and resistance level, from light to heavy, and is suitable for each specific muscle group exercise or training goal. Choosing the wrong resistance band can affect the effectiveness of the exercise or cause excessive muscle strain.

If you choose a rope with too light resistance, housewives will not be effective in increasing muscle strength, while choosing a rope that is too heavy can put them at risk of injury.

Therefore, before starting, clearly define your training goals to choose the right resistance band for your body.

Using resistance bands in the wrong place

The basic mistake when using resistance bands is not placing them in the right position when exercising. Resistance bands need to be placed in the right place to create the necessary tension and ensure stability during the exercise. For example, when doing squats with resistance bands, the band should be placed above the knees to help effectively work the glutes and thighs.

If the band is too high or too low relative to your knees, the tension will not be focused on the right muscle group, causing instability and reducing the effectiveness of the exercise. Before exercising, making sure the resistance band is properly positioned and aligned on both sides before performing the movement is the optimal way to get the best results.

No control over movements during exercise

With resistance bands, controlling the movements is quite important. Some mistakes that housewives make are relaxing their bodies too much and letting the band pull their bodies back to their original position without control.

To avoid injury, ensuring the resistance band is in the correct position will help the muscles to exercise effectively as well as improve strength, preventing damage to the body.

Not warming up properly before exercising

Warming up is an important and indispensable step to help the body prepare before performing high-intensity exercises. Skipping warm-up exercises before using resistance bands can cause housewives to have muscle tension problems, causing injury during exercise.

Warm up your muscles thoroughly to help your body gain flexibility and reduce injury when using resistance bands. Warm-up exercises such as joint rotation and gentle stretching will help you enter your workout session safely.
