(Health-NewsWire.Net, March 01, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- Lavis has been training elite athletes for many years. As a USAW Olympic weightlifting coach and CrossFit Level 1 Certified Trainer, he knows the importance resistance bands play in multiple training arenas. The WOD Nation bands are an essential element in Lavis' warm up routines and exercise preparations.
Lavis recommends the WOD Nation resistance bands for shoulder warm ups and an aid in pull-up progressions. While they can be used for strength training, he stresses that he utilizes them to prepare the world-class athletes he trains for more intensive CrossFit techniques. The bands are available in multiple resistance levels and are color coded, allowing him to tailor resistance to the individual.
Professional athletes know that stretches are an integral part of any exercise or workout program to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries. Lavis's clients use WOD Nation resistance bands for lateral stretches and before performing squats to open the hips.
The WOD Nation bands are effective in the limbering process for hip flexor stretches, along with front rack stretches and teaching better weight distribution for barbell work. He regularly utilizes them for ankle stretches to address issues with tight tendons that can restrict flexibility.
Yoga is another area for which the bands are useful. Many Olympic-class athletes have experienced the benefits to be obtained by introducing yoga into their training programs. Yoga movements can be accomplished with or without resistance bands, providing gentle movements that enhance flexibility in the hips, lower back, hamstrings and core.
Lavis' CrossFit Chiang Mai is the first CrossFit training affiliate in Thailand. With a focus on nutrition, strength and conditioning, each workout is customized to accommodate the individual's goal, fitness level and past injuries.

As a professional trainer and coach, Lavis is an expert on CrossFit equipment, tools and methodology. His endorsement of the WOD Nation resistance bands provides athletes with the expert knowledge they need to make informed choices when choosing effective resistance bands.
