Are Bodyweight and Band Exercises Actually Effective at Building Muscle?

Описание: Most people assume you need heavy weights to build muscle. But research says otherwise.

In this video, Reformed Fitness Exercise Physiologist Amy Walz breaks down a key study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2025) showing that low-impact resistance training—using only your bodyweight or resistance bands—can produce similar muscle growth to traditional weight training when performed with enough intensity.

Amy explains why effort and fatigue, not equipment, drive muscle growth—and how you can safely and effectively train at home or on the road using minimal equipment.

If you’re a busy professional looking for efficient, low-impact strength training that delivers real results, this one’s for you.
