FWF: Bodylastics on YouTube (Free Workout Fridays)

Bodylastics (Amazon.com)

I am a fan of the Bodylastics brand resistance bands. I have been using them for my workouts (particularly P90X and P90X2)  when doing pull downs as a replacement for pull ups, because my basement has a low ceiling. Besides the pull down, there are so many exercises which can be done with a simple resistance band! The added benefit Bodylastics provides is that the band tension can be adjusted by combining multiple bands on a single set of handles. Each band has a metal clip on either end, and is labeled with an approximate “weight” for the maximum tension it provides.

The good news, since this post is about free workouts, is that Bodylastics also provides access to a large sampling of their workouts (free!) on YouTube (user bodylastics). Check out their videos if you’re looking for some ideas about how to use the resistance bands you already have, or even if you’re looking for workouts using body weight or some kickboxing moves.The Bodylastics company shows us how to use their product in a very practical way, with an online workout site called LiveExercise.com. There are a variety of workouts available, and there is at least one released every day. There is a free trial period if you purchase the Bodylastics resistance bands. The length of the trial period varies depending upon the package you buy. After the trial period, there is a subscription fee, which is currently $5.95 per month. That’s less than the cost of a single workout DVD in most cases.

One of the workout hosts is Blake Kassel, the inventor/founder of Bodylastics. I think of him as a sort of “Tony Horton with a Jersey attitude.” He is often joined by a co-host who participates in the workout. There are workouts which feature other hosts, male or female.

You might see ads for Bodylastics on this page (posted by Google AdSense). I am a user of the product, and I have affiliate ads on this page. Of course I would appreciate it if you used the ads to check out and purchase their products, but I am featuring their videos because I really like their approach, and they do have a lot of free material out there.
