Going Green Kicked My Ass

On Saturday, the Chosen Higher Dopamineo Band came and the moment, I opened it, I was ready to head down for a workout with it. Quite the experience if I say so myself. This band specifically (resistance wise) is much lighter than the Black one I have. This is Dopa's One Size Fits All band where just about anyone can work with, even little kids would get a kick out of this thing. It can be used in so many ways whether you're a beginner just getting into it and learning techniques, to advanced specimens that use it for explosiveness, conditioning and speed. 

I did a circuit like usual of 5 exercises, 10 reps each but did 20 Rounds instead of the normal 10. I wanted to work on my speed and quickness. Had to stretch it a bit to get a feel for it but once I got going, holy shit it felt like sprinting. I was cruising through that workout and like always, rested only to mark off a circuit and kept going. I was breathing hard and it felt incredible. I was moving at a much more rapid rate and exploding on some of the exercises that it seemed powerful. 

The workout was 1000 Total Reps. At about round 15-16, I was starting to slow it down a bit cause I was already getting exhausted from how fast I was going. Those last few rounds weren't so slow I looked like a turtle but it was a vast difference than going Sonic The Hedgehog on that thing. I even had to readjust the band at times cause of my sweat, my hands would slide but it wasn't too bad, never let up. This fucker was no joke and to move at the pace I did, I was shocked I could still walk out of there without looking like the Walking Dead. 

It kicked my ass that's for sure and that shower afterwards was the best feeling ever. Having it being green is awesome cause it's my favorite color and it look lit up when you're training with it. Never underestimate the power of resistance bands. It's a great add on to your routine or can be done by itself like I do with it or even a finisher. Play around with it and see what it can do for you. If you're into weights going to the gym or have a home gym, you can do a band workout as a warm up for your current routine, you can do it between sets of your push-ups and squats or other bodyweight exercises, superset it with pull-ups and chin-ups, do sprints, lunges, take it out to the park or in the woods while you camp to keep yourself mobile and energized from Chopping Firewood, pre or post practice sessions in MMA or Wrestling and so much more. 

It's a great tool to have in your arsenal and it's great for kids to get that excess energy out. They can use it as resistance for their youth practice, doing animal crawls, jump, skip, whatever gets them going. Kids deserve to be healthy and this is a great tool to help them get there. Got a band for you, your son/daughter and wife, it's a workout for the whole family and get to bond together building strength and positive minds. Great for youth programs to get ready for any sport and not to mention with the type of training you can do, it builds up a hell of an appetite from burning calories like a furnace.

I'll never get over how awesome these bands are and those that do them are some of the best in the world, so it's worth something right? Get a glimpse of this band below and see if you're interested in getting one. Being able to do this stuff in my 40's is helping me stay in shape for the long haul and remember, conditioning is your greatest asset. Be amazingly awesome and keep killing it guys.

Athletes And Everyday Folks With Dopamineo Bands

 The amount of info and equipment used for certain methods can be overwhelming and trying to find a good routine or type of workout to keep things in tact isn't always easy. Quite frankly, it's not meant to be easy. It doesn't however, need to be complicated. Some people think you need the gym as if it's the only option out there to get healthy and fit. Some even think that you need to train for X amount of time to get Y results. The truth is, you don't need a building to go do something unless that's a goal of yours or just want to utilize what can be beneficial to you.

Sometimes it makes my head want to explode with the crazy shit influencers these days try to "promote" and although some are very creative, many just don't fucking get it or want to make someone feel like if they don't do it their way, you might as well jump off a cliff. We have the same 24 hours like everybody else but we don't live the same lifestyle or utilize the time we need in order to be efficient. If you make time for the gym and have a consistent routine with that, that's awesome and want you to continue that but you don't need to tell people "If I can do this, so can you", that's not always how life works.

When it comes to Athletes, it's very specific because they train for purposes that aren't meant for everyday people nor are they on the same level. You're not going to see a high school or college football player train  the same way as a 60 year old man who hasn't trained in decades and is just getting back into it. You're not going to see a 50 year old that's jacked train the same way as a 21 year old Olympian. We all train according to what our bodies can do at the given time whether starting out or been around the block longer than John Cena has been in the WWE. The idea is to train with intent and getting the most out of what is useful and with the time we are able to use.

One of the perks of Dopamineo Bands is that they can be used either by Athletes or Everyday People who could use a boost to keep things in check. You can use just about anywhere, even the gym. You don't need to follow the same rules as many influencers try to put on you like "you need to do this for that" or "you have to work out for an hour or more that includes cardio and weights", you can learn exercises and routines that don't take up a ton of time and can get results. Athletes need to train in order to become better at their sport and formulate methods with or without a coach that ensures they're prepared for upcoming fights, games and practices. For others, it can be a leisurely thing where they can get something going and be able to tackle their day with vitality and energetic entities. It could also be for maintaining health and wellness while also keeping up with or developing better attributes to sustain quality of life. That's what the beauty of the Dopa Bands provides. 

These bands may have been inspired by wrestlers and other combat sports but they also bring something much more; an idea that you can have an incredible physique and great levels of fitness by training only minutes a day, you don't need an hour unless that's what you choose to do. Pick a few exercises and have at it. Hell most of my workouts with them aren't more than 20 minutes on average and always feel like I can take on the day. If I wanted to go longer, I have that option and that's the point, you have options. The bands are fun to use and have so many exercises to choose from it's crazy but you only need to do a few to get yourself going. The exercise library is expanding and the types of routines you can find or create on your own is another perk. The bands can be used in many ways from learning certain techniques without a partner to basic exercises you normally would use in a gym. Some use them everyday, some only a few times a week. You can use them as a stand alone, as a warm up, cool down or even in between sets with your regular routine. Many athletes use them to warm up to get themselves ready for the hard training ahead but also quite a number use them at the end of a practice to get extra conditioning in so they have an advantage over the competition.

I've written about using them for Circuit Training and/or HIIT Workouts because they're a favorite and get to move in all sorts or directions. Make them work for you and be sure to learn the techniques for the exercises cause there are right ways and wrong ways to do them. Another perk is being able to do them on your days off of your regular gym routine where they can be used as a recovery tool to keep muscles loose and stretched. They are unique and they pack a punch but they get the job done and turn into a fitness beast.
