When you first begin training with your Ripcords® resistance bands you will notice that your muscles are shaking more so than if you were lifting weights. Do not worry - this is great news! Your Ripcords® are activating your stabilizer muscles, fully working them for the first time. As your muscles get used to the workout, this shaking will stop. This means you are becoming more athletic, and fit, as you start to develop healthy, active muscles with the sleek, sexy tone everyone is after.

Stabilizer muscles are the muscles that attach directly to the joints, also known as the deep tissue muscles. When training with bulky machines and free weights, the stabilizer muscles are not targeted to nearly the same degree as with Ripcords®. Neglecting the stabilizer muscles leaves your joints, ligaments, and muscles vulnerable to injury. Failing to fully develop your stabilizer muscles will prevent you from ever reaching your athletic potential. Stabilizer muscles help Michael McDonald be a better kickboxer in the ring, and they will help you on the field, the court, the ski-hill, or even running and walking.
