Comparing the Benefits of Resistance Bands and Weights

When it comes to the physics of exercise, resistance bands and weights are more or less extremely similar. Both these exercise accessories provide an additional resistance for the muscles to work against, apart from the normal pull of gravity. However, the specific nuances of these accessories are what empowers them to achieve different goals.

Weights — stacked on a machine or as a free weight — provide the body the ability to exert a variety of levels of force, so that you are able to work out to a particular level of exercise.
