Method essence
The main idea of this training method is to combine strength exercises targeting different muscle groups directly during cardio workouts, which increases the effectiveness of the training process. The workout is performed on a treadmill using fitness resistance bands. The duration of activity is chosen individually, depending on the person's goals and fitness level. On average, the workout time ranges from 40 to 90 minutes.

Method description Treadmill elastic bands Fitness
This method of physical exercise is an amateur sport. The uniqueness of the method lies in its ability to simultaneously impact the human body with two factors: the monotony of performing cardio movements and the inclusion of exercises targeting various muscle groups. Thanks to the combined execution of actions of different functionalities and the well-designed workout program, the overall efficiency of the process increases, and the time of achieving set goals is reduced.
By combining treadmill walking and working with fitness resistance bands, movements are not isolated and the physical load is distributed through different muscle groups. Various muscle groups are simultaneously engaged, including back and shoulder muscles (deltoids, latissimus dorsi, and rhomboids), chest muscles, arm muscles (biceps, triceps), abdominal muscles, as well as gluteal muscles and leg muscles (hip flexors and extensors, quadriceps and hamstring muscles, calf muscles, and shin muscles). Additionally, the respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, and cardiovascular systems are involved.
Putting the upper body into work during walking increases aerobic performance and contributes to more active calorie burning. Overall, during the training process, there is improvement in muscle tone, strength, and endurance, as well as coordination due to the combination of different types of physical exercises.
Training scheme
Warm-up stage: light jogging or brisk walking prepares the body for an effective workout.
Activates the cardiovascular system, increases heart rate, and warms up ligaments and tendons. Duration: 15-30 minutes.
1
Main stage: during brisk walking, exercises with resistance bands are performed.
The set of exercises, combination scheme, and duration of each exercise are determined based on the trainee's needs. Rest and recovery occur during walking between sets, without leaving the treadmill.
2
Cooling down stage: recovery is done through gentle running or walking.
Recovery walking to maintain active circulation, facilitating muscle recovery post exercise. Duration: 15-30 minutes.

Possible exercises
TEB-Fitness (Treadmill Elastic Bands) is a revolutionary fitness method that integrates strength training with cardio exercises to maximize efficiency and engagement.
Advantages of TEB-Fitness
Complex effect
The cardiovascular, respiratory, lymphatic, and muscular systems, as well as joints and ligaments, are fully engaged in the training process. By working simultaneously yet in a gentle manner each system of the body adds up to the overall effect of the workout.
Sustained cardio training
The entire workout occurs with the cardiovascular system already activated to a certain level, without reducing the heart rate to resting phase values. This ensures boosted workout efficiency. More effective calorie burning due to the absence of a complete resting phase.
Health benefits
Cleansing and renewal of the circulatory and lymphatic systems. Reduction of stagnations in internal organs. Development of coordination.
Versatility of the method
No age restrictions. Independence from weather conditions.
Cognitive improvements
Improvement of brain activity and formation of new neuronal connections as a result of simultaneously performing exercises of various functionalities.
Psychological effect
Since all exercises are performed on the treadmill, the likelihood of completing the whole training cycle increases because the trainee is already on the machine.
FAQ
Yes, and in fact, it may be safer and more beneficial than many other fitness programs for older adults.
Why TEB-Fitness works at age 72:
- No impact loading. The program avoids jumping, jerky movements, or heavy weights.
- Gentle resistance instead of heavy strength training. You use elastic bands rather than weights.
- Improves coordination and balance. Through simultaneous arm and torso movements.
- Gentle chest opening, spinal engagement, improved joint mobility.
- Control over intensity. You set your own pace from very slow to moderate.
Important: Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
TEB-Fitness may aid recovery after injury thanks to:
- Gentle, controlled movement without jerks or heavy resistance.
- Customizable exercises. You can skip or modify movements for the left arm, or switch to static work (like holding the band with minimal resistance).
- Treadmill walking. A safe form of cardio.
However, adapt the program to your condition and consult your doctor before starting to exercise.
Yes, TEB-Fitness can be a great alternative to the gym.
Benefits:
- Safe for growing bodiesElastic band resistance is gentle, adjustable, and physiologically appropriate for teens.
- Develops basic physical conditioning.
- Cardio + functional = endurance.
- Home-friendly, no constant supervision required.
Yes.
Why it works:
- Walking + full-body exercises = ideal comboLow-impact but effective.
- Strengthens the entire body, not just "problem areas".
- Easy to scale. You can progress from light to more intense routines.
Yes.
Why it’s beginner-friendly:
- Relieves static and tense postural strain.
- Versatile method.
- Low barrier to entry. No need to fully change clothes or prepare. You can simply stand up, walk for 5 minutes with a light band, and feel the difference.
