Stretch Tubing

[PlateauPat]

I am thinking about incorporating stretch tubing as part of my lower body workout (inside and outside part of legs, hips, butt). Stretch tubing is used mostly to tone muscles. Although I do want to tone my muscles, I am also using it for resistance as I find that my legs get really sore after I use dumbells in my workout. I am using small weight with the dumbells so to avoid the soreness right now - I have been looking into the stretch tubing.

Just wondering if anyone has had good results using stretch tubing or if anyone has any other comments about it.

Tubing and similar elastic products can be a handy way to get resistance training. The biggest problem is the resistance is not as adjustable as weights are. You need to progressively increase the load somehow if you want to improve your strength. What is your workout like now?

And, for anyone who thinks elastic is only for wimps, I have an old York cable exerciser I'd like to introduce you to
