What is the advantage of exercising with a fitness rubber band on the abs?

The device allows you to increase the load on the press and engage more muscle groups when performing exercises. This happens because of the need to hold the band, which makes the stabilizer muscles turn on. Consequently, our body receives a greater load than if we were to perform the exercise without the equipment.
