(NewJersey.CityRegions.Com, September 30, 2014 ) Hoboken, NJ -- Resistance training is important to keep muscles strong. Past the age of 40, on average bone mass decreases at a rate of 1% per year. Resistance training using Overtime Fitness exercise bands can slow bone loss and in some instances it even builds bone.
"Our resistance bands were created not just for extreme athletes and workout buffs but for anyone at all who wants to improve their overall health. We created three different bands, each with varying tension for just that reason," says company founder, Kim LoCicero. By offering multiple bands, Overtime Fitness Resistance Loop Bands are a great option for the elderly, the group most at risk for bone fractures as a result of osteoporosis. They are a lightweight, low-impact tool to help increase muscle and bone mass.
Overtime Fitness Resistance Loop Bands come in three colors to distinguish their different sizes and tension levels. The green loop band is able to withstand up to 16 lbs of tension and is considered "light"; the indigo band is strong enough for 30 lbs of resistance and is "medium; the purple is the strongest band, able to handle up to 40 lbs of resistance and is referred to as "heavy". Depending on the child's strength, they could train with the shorter purple band, or, the lighter green and indigo bands could be used and simply looped in half to fit around their body.
Osteoporosis is estimated to cause 1.5 million fractures annually in the United States in people aged 50 or older. Several studies have shown a direct and positive relationship between the effects of resistance training and bone density. Multiple drugs and a push towards the importance of dairy products are a strong resounding message in response to combating osteoporosis, however, resistance training not only improves bone health but also has the added benefit of combating multiple risk factors for osteoporosis; using Overtime Fitness Resistance Loop bands will improve strength and balance as well as increase muscle mass, all which will contribute to a reduction in osteoporosis-related fractures.
Overtime Fitness Resistance Loop bands are available on the Amazon marketplace and retail for less than $20.
