Aylio offers the pre­mium heavy-duty resis­tance bands.  All bands use ultra-durable latex rub­ber, giv­ing them a great stretch with­out allow­ing them to snap. All con­nec­tors are dou­ble stitched for added safety and the pre­mium heavy-duty metal clips are used to with­stand very large lev­els of ten­sion for our advanced users.

When it comes to choos­ing a set of resis­tance bands, you can not go wrong will the Aylio home exer­cise sys­tem. It includes a door attach­ment (very impor­tant) and stor­age pouch but most impor­tantly, it fea­tures a unique clip­ping sys­tem, giv­ing users the advan­tage of choos­ing to work with one, two, three, or four bands simul­ta­ne­ously. This is cru­cial because dif­fer­ent mus­cle groups require var­i­ous lev­els of resis­tance and the clip­ping sys­tem allows for easy adjust­ment to accom­mo­date all exer­cises and fit­ness lev­els. Every­one from begin­ners to pro­fes­sional ath­letes and body­builders can enjoy and ben­e­fit from these bands. Aylio resis­tance bands are also the most durable and com­fort­able bands I have ever tried and for these rea­sons I highly rec­om­mend the set.

Once you have your Aylio set, the fun can begin. First thing you must do is assess exactly what your work­out goals are. Those try­ing to build mus­cle mass will need to per­form work­outs with heavy resis­tance and low rep­e­ti­tions. Choose the heav­i­est resis­tance level that will allow you to pump out 3 sets of 8–12 rep­e­ti­tions for each exer­cise with­out sac­ri­fic­ing form. Take a 60–90 sec­ond breather between sets. Make it your goal to add more resis­tance to your work­outs each week. Also, make sure to per­form­ing your reps very slowly to take advan­tage of hyper­tro­phy, which is the term for increas­ing the den­sity of mus­cle fibers. Hyper­tro­phy occurs when a set is per­formed for between 30 sec­onds to one minute so make sure you spend at least 5 sec­onds per rep­e­ti­tion or else you will be increas­ing strength but not mus­cle size. Ide­ally, you will do two to three dif­fer­ent exer­cises per mus­cle group. With the door attach­ment, you can cre­ate over 100 dif­fer­ent exer­cises tar­get­ing all mus­cle groups.

For those look­ing to lower body fat, get rid of that gut, loose those love han­dles, or tone their bod­ies will need to per­form work­outs with low resis­tance and high reps. I rec­om­mend my clients to choose a resis­tance lev­els that allow them to per­form 3 sets of 40 rep­e­ti­tions for each exer­cise. If it is too easy for you to do 40 reps, you will need to up your resis­tance. Weight loss is a sim­ple for­mula: more calo­ries expended than con­sumed. That means your daily goal should be to break a sweat and get your heart rate up. High rep work­outs will get your heart pump­ing but make sure not to rest for more than 20 sec­onds between exer­cises!! Throw­ing in a few crunches, pushups or jump­ing jacks would improve your work­out. The rou­tine we rec­om­mend for both mus­cle mass and weight loss is as follows:

Mon­days – Chest & Tri­ceps
Tues­days – Back & Biceps
Wednes­days – For ton­ing, run for 45–60 min­utes. If you’re only look­ing for mass, take a rest day and give your mus­cles time to recover.
Thurs­days – Shoul­ders & Legs
Fri­days – Abs (Yes, you can work your abs with resis­tance bands)
Sat­ur­days – Rest
Sun­days – Rest
Use the Aylio instruc­tional book or instruc­tional DVD to choose exer­cises from over 100 pos­si­bil­i­ties.  Also try incor­po­rat­ing car­dio, pushups, crunches or dumb­bells, into your resis­tance train­ing reg­i­men for fur­ther dif­fi­culty and greater results.

Cus­tomers who take advan­tage of resis­tance train­ing usu­ally begin see­ing sig­nif­i­cant improve­ments in their physique within just two to three weeks and also report higher lev­els of energy and explo­sive­ness through­out the day. As with any exer­cises, do not for­get to warm up and stretch for 5–10 min­utes before work­outs. It is impor­tant to take pre­cau­tion by loos­en­ing up joints and mus­cles to avoid injury. Lastly, never for­get that diet­ing is a cru­cial part of exer­cise. If you’re look­ing for mus­cle mass, stay on a high protein/low carb diet. If you’re look­ing to lose weight, stick to a low fat low calo­rie diet. Good luck and thanks for choos­ing Aylio resis­tance bands!
