Crank it in the Ring of Fire
By Dave Schmitz of Resistance Band Training
There is absolutely no better way to train a group of highly motivated fitness enthusiasts with resistance bands than by putting them in The Ring. Yes I said The Ring.
Training in the Ring using resistance bands is the ultimate in partner band training. Not only does it provide an opportunity for 6 to12 people to push each other, it also allows trainers to create tremendous group chemistry and community. And as always when it comes to band training… You know you can train anywhere, anytime at any intensity.
However there are a few recommendations “the band man” needs to share with you before you crank it in the ring:
1. Make sure your group has mastered the movement you want to do in the ring. The ring is an advance training approach and can be intimidating to some, so make sure everyone is ready.
2. As a trainer you must train in the ring and have become proficient with teaching partner based training before you bring on the ring. It’s like going from 1 on 1 to bootcamp training. It takes some practice and progression
3. Map out your workout. Here is a challenging 20 minute workout in the ring (more…)
