The FitLife Resistance Bands Set is an excellent addition to your home and mobile gym equipment. As a Perfect Workout Virtual Trainer, I highly recommend this product to my clients for its versatility and ease of use.

Resistance band training is extremely effective at burning fat and increasing muscle strength. It also helps to increase coordination, stamina, flexibility, and range of motion.

This is an excellent starter set for adults and teens. Each set contains a lightweight carrying bag, a sturdy door anchor, a pair of larger straps, two handles, and five bands.

The anti-snap bands range from 10 – 50lbs and are made of a natural latex that is non-irritating and odorless. You can use them individually or combine them to increase intensity (up to 150lbs).

The sweat-proof and skid-proof handles consist of strong fabric and steel D buckles to ensure maximum life and safety during use.

This FitLife set fits easily in a suitcase or your car, which makes it perfect for hotel use or lunch break workouts. You can set it up in just a few minutes and start training right away. This is an affordable and space-saving alternative to bulky pieces of home gym equipment.

FitLife sells these sets exclusively through Amazon, and right now they are offering a 10% coupon for additional savings.

Client FAQ: What is the best way to lose weight?

Many of my clients want to lose weight and weight loss is one of the main reasons why people exercise. But not all exercise programs are created equally and produce various results. The saying “work smarter, not harder” definitely applies to weight loss strategies.

I find that it’s helpful to start by explaining the difference between exercise and recreation. Exercise (a.k.a. strength training) is a process where the body performs demanding work in a clinically controlled environment. Recreation (biking, hiking, swimming, yoga, golf, etc.) is for mental health purposes whereas exercise is purely physical.

Recreation is for fun. Exercise is for strength.

Exercise will contribute to the performance of any recreational activity, through improved strength, endurance and resistance to injury. I compare this relationship to the structure of a house. Exercise is the foundation while recreation is the enjoyment that comes from having a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room, and so on.

Exercise is like balancing your budget. Not much fun but it’s absolutely essential.

Traditionally, cardio has been the focus of weight loss efforts. But studies have shown that dozens of hours of running or aerobic activities will only lead to small amounts of weight loss.

When combined with calorie restriction, a.k.a. improved dietary choices, better results were achieved with cardio. However, some of that weight loss was due to a loss of lean body mass rather than fat loss.

In a recent study with over 4,000 participants, the best results for weight loss were achieved through a combination of strength training and calorie restriction. And while exercise may not be as enjoyable as recreation, the good news is that short bursts of intense exercise can effectively boost your metabolism.

It is possible to lose weight in as little as 20 minutes.

The Perfect Workout: 1-on-1 Slow-Motion Strength Training

Since graduating in December, I’ve started working as a Virtual Trainer with a company called The Perfect Workout. They have been in business since 1999 all across the US and have been offering Virtual Training since March of 2020.

The first time I tried the Super Slow method I knew that this was the missing piece of my fitness regimen! This science-backed system is based on a study by the University of Florida to help post-menopausal women create bone density.

Not only is The Perfect Workout safe and highly effective for seniors, it’s incredibly challenging for adults of all ages and ability levels.

Since I became a Perfect Workout Trainer, I’ve been learning all about why people LOVE the Super Slow method and Virtual Training. This is just a snapshot of what so many clients have shared with me:

“I love the convenience of Virtual Training. I save myself an hour by not having to drive back and forth to the studio!”

“The Perfect Workout has completely changed the way that I look at exercise.”

“Virtual Training is harder than the studio workouts!”

Many of you know that I’ve been a Slow Philosophy advocate for a very long time. I am delighted to be able to incorporate my training background with this brilliant system. And I would love to share the many benefits of The Perfect Workout with you.
