Resistance Band Training...The Perfect
Solution to creating a high performance
body
It has become a well known fact that interval strength training is the most effective and
efficient ways to train regardless of your fitness or performance goals.
That said lets hit the gym….
Unfortunately for many baby boomers “hitting the gym” is not possible when evaluating
the time demands placed on what has become a very fast paced time crunched
professional and personal society.
As a result a simple home band gym that allows you to perform 1000’s of resistance
band training exercises could be more than enough to redevelop a high performance
body that looks feels and performs the way you want it to.
Here are a few facts that will assist in understanding why Resistance Band Training
may be exactly what you are looking for to take your home workouts to a totally new
level of results.
FACT #1
Muscles are dumb. They don’t know the difference between a dumbbell, a barbell, a
kettlebell or a resistance band. They are adaptors not just contractors. Muscles will
adapt and get lean, strong and sculpted regardless the training tool. The real key is
intensity and with band’s unique ascending resistance they allow you to literally change
resistance on the fly so you are always maxing out your training effort.
FACT #2
The most used excuse for lack of training is “no time” especially when you have to drive
to the gym. Who needs a Gym?? Resistance bands accommodate to any one while
allowing you to train Anywhere, Anytime, and at Any Intensity. So you choose.

FACT #3
Resistance bands are the only tool that allows you to train and create resistance from
any possible angle or force vector. As a result you can sculpt your muscles, build “real
world” strength and train athleticism far more effectively using elastic resistance versus
only training with a dead weight.
FACT #4
Hate to change the weight??... Me too!
The key to a great metabolic, fat burning workout is making sure you keep recovery the
same, especially when fatigue continues to build. Having to change weight or training
tools can make transitioning and keeping a consistent recovery difficult; not to mention it
breaks up your workout momentum.
To change resistance with bands all it requires is stepping back or stepping forward.
Also all the workouts in the EXPRESS Band Workout Library are specifically designed
to make transitions seamless.
FACT #5
No place to attach bands?? If you have a door you have an attachment site for
resistance band training. Using a band utility strap, you can attach onto a door or any
stable structure. However if that doesn’t work, you still have tons of attachment free
exercise options to choose from.

Get Leaner, Stronger and More
Athletic in 10 Minutes or Less
Welcome to the EXPRESS Band Workout Library
Any Body….Any Where….. Any Time….
At Any Intensity
The EXPRESS Band Workout Library is designed to be a quick at a glance
reference guide for coaches, fitness professionals and fitness enthusiast who
want to create band only workouts using the Resistance Band Training approach.
Once the exercises in the library are studied and mastered, The EXPRESS Band
Workout Library will become YOUR “go to” resource for instant high energy band
workouts regardless of location, time or training population.
All you need to perform the EXPRESS Band Workouts is a pair of bands and your
body. Now if you want a few more luxuries…. A pair of training handles, a Band Utility
Strap and a Link Strap would definitely add to the overall training experience.

Here is how to use the EXPRESS Band Workout
Manual
Each of the mini workouts are intended to be performed as individual workouts that will
last a minimum of 4 minutes, but can go longer depending on which interval sequence
you apply.
Here are a few suggestions on how to master the exercises and begin to design
incredible band workouts:
1. Attempt one warm up set using a 30 second work with a 30 second recovery and
transition for each exercise before getting more aggressive with a shorter recovery
interval sequence like a 20-10 or 40-20 Tabatas.
2. Make sure you study the pictures and attempt each exercise using a light resistance
band initially to safely teach yourself.
3. Add in one new 4 minute band workout during each of your normal weekly workouts until you have attempted at least 4 different workouts. Repeat this for at least 2 weeks until you have fully mastered each of those 4 workouts. 4. Place those 4 workouts into a full 20 to 30 minute “band only” workout that you
perform at least one time per week in place of your traditional strength workout. Do this
for 2 more additional weeks
5. Now add this workout into your normal weekly workout routine.
6. Repeat this same 4 week sequence with 4 more workouts from the EXPRESS Band
Workout Library. At the end of this 4 week cycle you will not have 2 complete 20 to 30
minute interval strength workouts using only bands.
My hope is that the EXPRESS Band Workout Library will not only challenge you
physically but it will force you to think through how to effectively train with resistance
bands. It is a proven fact that once individuals have trained consistently with bands for
at least 4 weeks, they will see a noticeable difference in their overall strength, agility,
timing and flexibility.

Got 10 Minutes??
I have Got a workout for YOU!!
The “10 - 5 Super Set Workout”
Yes it is possible to get into great shape in 10 minutes and the Resistance Band
Super Set workouts can get it done on your terms.
The 10-5 Super Set Workouts will be performed using a band or bands while
implementing a continuous 10 minute interval
Using these specifically designed high intensity band training workouts, clients have
been able to cut serious body fat, develop outstanding total body power and
elevate their metabolic output while regaining lost flexibility.
All together this means… People were able to recapture some of that athleticism they
had when they were in their 20’s.
After numerous times being asked “Dave what can I do for a workout while I am…. On
Vacation, Traveling for business, At home this weekend or At the Park??….. we created
The 10-5 Super Set Workouts. These workouts are designed to be performed
anywhere, anytime at various intensities by anybody.
All you need is your body, a pair of bands and a 10 Minute countdown timer. Handles
and Band Utility Strap may also be helpful to have but not necessary.
You can train for absolute strength by increasing the band tension, stretch or size while keeping reps between 4 to 6 reps per set.
You can train for power endurance by training rep speed versus force. Again rep volume will be determined by size of the band however the focus should stay on keeping the speed of each rep fast, especially during the concentric phase. Reps/set will remain 4 to 6 to avoid losing velocity with recovery time at 1 to 2 or 1 to 1 work to rest ratio.
©Copyright 2012 – Resistancebandtraining.com
You can also train pure metabolic “Fat Burning” circuits where high volume and relatively moderate resistance is used so you can crank out 10-15 reps on each set. If you choose to increase work density by increasing band size, reps will obviously decrease as well.
Density training is another option. With this scenario, you increase work volume on each subsequent round. The easiest way to do this is add 2 reps on each subsequent round.
Lastly you can implement the contrast method by going with high reps low resistance or low reps with high resistance. This will shake things up and allow individuals to create strength specific workouts for problem areas.
*** Please Read ***
These workouts are designed for individuals who have become proficient with
Resistance Band Training and have mastered many of the EXPRESS Band workouts.
This means they have become acclimated to band size and strength as well as
conditioning their body to handle elevated workloads. Conditioning your body to
resistance band training means you have mastered the movements and have the
stability and strength to advance into more challenging workouts
Implementing the 10 - 5 Super Set Workouts
Each of these workouts will provide the individuals with a total body strength workout
along with a metabolic and cardio challenge.
Options for getting Started
1. Perform 1- 10 minute Super Set workout in conjunction with you present workout.
2. Perform only the 10-5 Super Set Workouts by choosing 2 and giving yourself a 3 minute rest in between workouts. This will provide you an aggressive 23 minute workout.
©Copyright 2012 – Resistancebandtraining.com
3. If time is an issue, you can perform 1-10 minute workout but make sure you do a brief 2 minute warm-up using general total body weight movements.
Getting started with the RBT 10-5 Super Set
workouts??
1. Pick which workout you want to do.
2. Set up the bands to match the workouts.
(Each super set workout only uses 1 specific band set up so there is no need to alter set
ups once workout has begun)
3. Determine what your designated reps will be based on your goals and band
resistance
4. Turn on the your countdown timer
5. Rock it
Post Workout Homework
Make sure you record the following information upon completion of the workout.
1. Reps performed (Determines your workout goal)
2. Document the number of rounds performed including half rounds
3. Document size of band used
4. Document distance of stretch which is determined by a mark on the floor or by
stepping it off.
Next time you choose that specific 10-5 Super Set workout you want to beat your
previous effort by increasing your reps, rounds completed or performing similar reps
with greater band tension.
If you choose to do a back to back Super Set workouts make sure you document
accordingly.

Journey to becoming “The Band Man®”
Dave’s resistance band journey is truly one that began and continues to
be driven by his commitment and passion to “finding a way” to help
others functionally get better.
Getting Back in the Game
Dave began his journey with band training as a Physical Therapist
where he was presented with an opportunity each day to assist
patients who struggled to move effectively due to injury, surgery
or pain. Based on his knowledge of functional movement, Dave discovered how
bands, used as an assistive tool, could quickly retain movement skills by improving joint
mobility, core stability and muscle integration. Once complete range of motion, full
weight bearing and the elimination of pain was achieved, the band now became a
functional strength training tool that empowered patients to rehabilitate themselves and
“get back in game”.
Taking Your Game to a New Level
Being an athlete at heart and having a passion for performance it became a natural fit
for Dave to begin training athletes using resistance bands. All that was required was to
take the drills and exercises that worked well in the clinic and supersize them up to
challenge a far more gifted moving population of athletes. As athletes began to
experience what it felt to get faster, quicker, and more flexible training in bands, it
became obvious that enhancing game day performance was no longer just a training
theory.
Recapturing Your Game
The last piece of the puzzle came into play in the early 2000’s when Dave discovered
how effective resistance band training was at improving functional strength and
metabolic conditioning for fitness enthusiasts that wanted to lose fat, get stronger and
look great. Dave started his first Fitness Band Bootcamp in 2001 and continues this
unique group fitness approach today as the owner of G’Town Boot Camps. Bands have
allowed hundreds of fitness enthusiasts and athletes at heart to recapture the
movement skills they once had in their game.
