Resistance bands

[MotherPip]

Wondering what people think of them. They are fairly cheap and portable, and I have just bought one... Knowing me the novelty will wear off but I'm gonna play with it... want to try and get a bit more flexibility into my shoulders and improve my knees a bit. Looked at some exercises so we'll see I guess.

Good luck MotherPip, but be careful to follow the instructions properly. I have some, but when I enthusiastically used them at the beginning, I pulled a muscle in my upper arm, which was really painful. Don't be a dill, like me!

Thank you...Yes they are quite springy and I can imagine jolting something event it boings back...I will be careful thank you...My shoulders do go painful from time to time if I exercises so ultra care will be taken 😁

I've just got one with pictures on the band of what can be done with it.. A physio suggested it as part of my course from a frozen shoulder.

Wishing you success

Good to hear, thanks

I'm hoping that someone will point you in the right direction, MotherPip as it won't be me, I'm afraid! I have one but never use it and would like to, as it seems a potentially useful piece of kit!

Well I've looked at some exercises on the internet. So have been doing some. Trouble is i need really to do it seriously and get a proper regular routine together...That's down to me to do lol
