Do It Yourself

Exercises

Step on the resistance band, keeping your feet no wider than the hips, and keep a good grip on the handles. Place your arms to your sides and keep your palms forward. Your handles should be lifted to the shoulder front and after keeping them there for two seconds, let them down. Up to fifteen should be enough.

Chest Press Exercise

Wrap the band behind your back and under the arms while you grab the handles. Place one foot slightly forward, with your knees bent slightly. Keeping your arms bent ninety degrees, at shoulder height, level your wrists with your elbow. Push your arms forward (and inwards slightly) so that they are apart at shoulder width and are directly straight in front of you. Let your arms go back to the start. For this exercise, do up to fifteen reps.

The Squat Press

Holding the handles, stand on the band and bring them no further than shoulder level. Don’t spread your feet wider than your hips. Bend your knees to a sitting position while keeping your back straight. Extend your arms upward while doing the squat position. Bring your arms down again as you stand up. This exercise can be done with 15 reps.

To Do Side Leg Lifts

Stand both feet on the band with each hand holding a handle. Make sure your feet are hip-width distance from each other. Then shift all of your body’s weight onto one of your feet while raising your other leg up to the side as far as you possibly can. As you lift your foot up to the side, stretch the band up and out also. Return to the original position. This is your first rep but each leg should do this 15 times.

By doing these simple exercises, you can already learn how to start using your exercise resistance band effectively. These simple exercises with a resistance band are perfect for those who are beginners and are just learning how to use a band for band workout routines.
