| Resistance Bands are a great way to gain the extra pull needed to deepen your favorite stretches. I also use ankle weights to assist in certain stretches. When you first use the bands you may find that they are not "doing" much, but once you find the correct elasticity to work with you will find that the extra tension is working your muscles without realizing it. Once you become more comfortable you can start to challenge yourself but make the band more taunt forcing you to really counter balance yourself. | |

Building the muscles up on one side of your body with cause unnecessary injuries. It is a lot easier to become uneven that it is to fix it.
