About Resistance Band Workouts
This is just one of several fitness apps - part of the Fitness PRO membership.
This program focuses on exercising using resistance bands and includes other creative bodyweight exercises.
Resistance bands offer many advantages other than being extremely portable and convenient. The mechanical advantage of these bands is that resistance holds through every part of the movement - compared to free weights that often do not stimulate the muscle during certain parts of the motion.
Resistance band training focuses on both concentric and eccentric movements and usually results in a full range of motion -- resulting in greater strength and a complete stimulation.
This equipment is made of strong, thin rubber with handles at the end, and come in a variety of resistances depending on your fitness level. This program includes a variety of strength training exercise -- chest presses, rows, shoulder presses, tricep extensions, bicep curls, and even squats -- without the need for heavy weights.
Advantage of Resistance Band Training in this App

I just installed this app. Giving this one star straight away for the fact that app will not work when developer's own server is down. You will get a message appearing along the lines of "Whoops! Unable to reach Fitivity servers at this time. Our server is down, please try again later!". Then it force closes itself. Unacceptable. This app should function without dependence on developer's own server. UPDATE: Developer responded to this review. They say an update will resolve the above issue in approximately 10 days by 24th Sept 2016). I hope they do because this promises everything I desire as one that wants to work out with just a resistance band and my own body weight. In the meantime, I tried the app again today, and the same problem occurred. I will leave this rating at one star until app actually works without connection to developer's servers. Will update rating when improvements are made.
