Myosource Kinetic Bands™

We suggest training in two areas.
 
1.  Basic Core Development
2.  Sport Specific Training
 
Training in both of these areas will help develop speed, strength, power, quickness, explosion and endurance.

Each set of MYOSOURCE™ KINETIC BANDS includes two sets of resistance bands, red and green.  The red bands are intended for light stretching and drills that do not require full range of motion.  While the green bands should be used for running, jumping, change-of-direction, sprint work, etc., where a higher range of motion is required.  The red and green bands can also be used together for added resistance when training for power and explosion.

***NOTE:  Yellow bands will be sent in place of the green bands when you indicate the primary user weighs 110 lbs. or less.  We suggest staring with the yellow bands and advance to the red bands.  We also have “power” bands available for advanced training.  These can be purchased separately.


BASIC CORE DEVELOPMENT
 
The key to basic core development is to begin working the quads, hams strings, glutes, abs, hips and hip flexors.  All athletes need to work these areas and have a tendency to neglect them.  The hips are vital for athletic speed development.
.
We suggest starting with 3-5 of these basic Core development exercises and rotating them each week.  Keep in mind that resistance training provides you with twice the benefit so 10-15 minutes, 3-4 times per week is plenty.

2-3 sets of 10 reps each: knee ups; step ups on to bench; squats; squat jumps; lunges (forward, side and back); leg raises (forward, side and back).

Almost any drill or exercise can be performed while training with KINETIC BANDS so the options are limitless.  Watch our core training videos on the Getting Started page at myosource.com


SPORT SPECIFIC TRAINING
 
Although sport specific training can vary depending on the sport (i.e.: sprints for track, court drills for basketball, base running/base stealing for softball and baseball, field drills for soccer, etc.), speed development is an important aspect of improving athletic performance in all sports.
 
We suggest running 2-3 reps with the bands and 2 reps without, working to maintain max velocity or near max velocity for as long as possible.  This will help improve hip strength and increase explosion which is important for sprints, base running, change of direction, etc.
