B3 Bands
When you wear the bands and do light exercise, you create a natural and safe manipulation of the bodies circulatory system. While doing light exercise with the B3 Bands on your arms or legs, the blood exiting out of your venous system back to the heart is slowed down. This reduction in blood flow while doing exercises causes the muscle to fatigue quicker. When a muscle fatigues, a signal is sent to your brain which results in a surging hormone release. These hormones then send a signal back to your muscles to stimulate them to adapt. This adaptation results in positive changes in the muscle.
