Resistance bands offer a good alternative to traditional weight training for toning and building lean muscle mass. They’re cheap, versatile, travel well and are appropriate for all fitness levels.

The Altus Athletic Home Gym is a compact workout system that uses adjustable bungee cord tubing with an attachment that fits most doors. It accommodates a wide range of exercises for the chest, arms, legs, back, shoulders and abs.

This is a relatively basic system that does not include as many interchangeable options and variations as the more expensive, celebrity endorsed brands. But this is a durable set of bands that’s easy to use and suited to those who are new to resistance training.

This list of available exercises demonstrates just how versatile resistance bands can be: Ab Crunches, Standing Flys, Squats, Rear Lateral Raises, Tricep Push Down, Seated Row, Leg Abductor, Front Lateral Raises, Triceps Pull Down, Upright Rows, Leg Raises, Shoulder Press, Bicep Curls, Straight Arm Pull Downs and Reverse Leg Extensions

The system comes with an instructional DVD.
