Exercise Bands are a great way to perform those exercises you would normally do on a cabled machine at the gym. They are lightweight and easily transportable. You can be very creative with these stretchy resistance bands and mimic sport-specific movements.
Stand on It
By standing on the middle of the band, you can do bicep curls, overhead presses, tricep extensions, lateral deltoid raises, and forward deltoid raises. These exercises are all for your upper body.
I like to work my abductors and abductors, quads and hamstrings by doing this:1. Make a wide stance on top of the band.
2. Grab opposite handles with opposite arms so that the band makes an X.
3. Pull the handles out to the sides to create resistance. In a squatted position, slowly shuffle to the right and to the left with control. Feel the burn!
Make this more difficult by squatting down lower or easier by standing up a little taller. Keep your knees on top of your ankles and core engaged.
In health,
Lauren
