Like dumbbells, barbells, or any other free weights, resistance bands provide external resistance that your muscles have to work against. When you’re pushing against a resistance band during an exercise, your muscles have to engage to fight the tension. Yet, there is limited to no effect on your joints!
You can find workouts with resistance bands for women for every skill and fitness level. Choose from easier slower beginner full-body programs to more stern advanced level workouts, to tips on how to exercise postpartum to get back in shape, to re-connect with your fit body, lean legs, flat belly, and more!
You do not have to live near Vancouver, or even in Canada. You can join my resistance bands fitness program any time from anywhere either via a live workshop in Zoom. Or subscribe to the BelaFit YouTube channel to or watch resistance bands exercises and workout tips.
I’ll be happy to learn all about your amazing workout results! Send me a note 🙂

SHOP Resistance Bands and Workout Gear
Currently, I shop my resistance bands and sports gear either on Amazon, or at a local Winners/Marshals store.
Yet, very soon, I will be happy to introduce my own BelaFit brand line of resistance bands and a clothing line! Yey!
In the meantime, while we all are waiting, here is a quick list of workout products you can today to start exercising with resistance bands as soon as it is convenient for you.
Resistance Bands – Loops
There are two main types of Loop Resistance Bands you can shop for: made of rubber and made of fabric. We use both during BelaFit workouts.
Rubber loops are stretchy and best for upper body and abs workouts – anywhere you need a larger amplitude to achieve better results.
Fabric loop bands are less stretchy, much tighter, and provide excellent resistance for leg exercises, like sit-ups.
There are two types of long resistance bands: flat stretchy ribbons and rope-like heavy bands with handles. At BelaFit we mostly use ribbons, yet the other ones are excellent too if your goal is to build up your upper body and strong arms.
How do I know the BelaFit workout results are real? By measuring it of course!
At BelaFit we use the POLAR smartwatch for fitness. Once you join the exercise group in our WhatsApp chat, you’ll see Katerina’s watch readings after each workout. Yet, the latest FitBit watch can do as well!

About BelaFit & Contact
Hello and welcome! I am Katerina Bela @ BelaFit.ca
My name is Katerina BELA. I am a 38yo ISSA-Certified Personal Trainer living in Coquitlam in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Throughout my entire life, including two pregnancies, having a healthy fit body was my top priority. I’m happy to report, I have developed my own workout routine that, hopefully, will help YOU to look and feel your best!
My sports career started when I was 6 years old and since that it’s become my lifestyle.
Originally from Minsk Belarus, I’ve been on Belarus’ athletics national team for 4 years, volleyball team, running, and bicycle (up to 80km per day).
I was a CrossFit enthusiast and worked out with one of the best in the country personal trainer, learning many advanced Exercise Techniques.
After having 2 kids, and working hard to get back in shape postpartum, I created my own program with resistance bands. My BelaFit workout with resistance bands will bring you beautiful body shape, weight loss, endurance, and self-confidence.
The most beautiful thing: you can work out anytime and everywhere, just have your resistance band in the pocket. My fitness program with resistance bands is “joints-friendly” unlike exercises with weights. BelaFit’s variety of exercises with resistance bands and without, including a stretching routine, will result in an amazing transformation for your body! Guaranteed.
