BFR training utilizes a set of arm and leg bands to manipulate the amount of blood flow allowed into your extremities. It's sort of a bio-hack. When you use the BFR bands, you'll have temporarily less blood flow and less oxygen in your arms and legs. Your brain interprets that lack of freely flowing blood and oxygen supply and your brain is tricked into thinking that your body is working harder than it actually is. For example, if you use the bands and only choose to use body weight resistance or lightweight resistance, your brain will be tricked into thinking it's lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling hundreds of pounds. The advantage is that you can better protect your joints and tissues if you only use bodyweight resistance or lightweight resistance. Instead of building strength like a bodybuilder and putting 450 pounds on a squat rack, you can get a similar physiological effect and only lift 50-60 pounds, for example. Doing a BFR workout will be a more safe and more enjoyable way to get Lipolysis, or fat breakdown, muscle hypertrophy, cardiac muscle functioning, DNA synthesis, angiogenesis, or production of new blood vessels or repair of existing blood vessels. Improved circulation, better brain development, muscle and bone growth, and youthful-looking skin, hair, and nails. And it's great for people who don't think they have a lot of time to work out. Think about it, compared to your typical work out, this is a way to more easily and more safely promote fat breakdown and muscle hypertrophy to get a more toned  body. 20 minutes with the BFR bands on is plenty of time to get those effects.
