An elastic band is a very useful tool with which you can perform different exercise routines. It will help you tone and strengthen your muscles. That’s why we recommend that you buy one and start exercising. We bring you these elastic band exercises that you can do at home and stay in shape.
FOR THE LEGS, BUTTOCKS AND SHOULDERS
.
This exercise helps to tone your legs and shoulders. Step on the resistance band with both feet, spread your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Hold the handles of the band, palms facing inward and elbows out to the sides. Squat, hips back and keeping weight on heels, squeeze your glutes and raise your arms overhead. Complete 15-20 repetitions.
FOR LEGS AND ARMS
.
Keep your RIGHT foot on the resistance band and place your LEFT foot behind you. Lower your arms with your palms facing inward and hold the handles of the band. Go down by doing a 90 degree bend in both knees. Pull the bands to the side to work your shoulders. Straight back. Complete 10 reps with the RIGHT foot in front, and then switch the LEFT leg in front and repeat 10 more times.
Gluteus
.
Go down to your mat and hold the handles of your band with your hands. And turn the band in an arc with your RIGHT foot. Position the RIGHT leg so that it is parallel to the floor or slightly higher. With control, push the band back and bring your knee back into position and repeat 15 to 20 times. Switch legs once you complete all the reps to the right.
BICEPS, BACK and SHOULDERS
.
Place the band under the arches of your feet, with your feet hip-width apart. Working your shoulders, pull the handles towards your armpits. You should feel your shoulders, upper back muscles, and even your biceps working in this exercise. Complete 15-20 repetitions.
ARMS (BICEPS and DELTOIDS)
.
To focus more on the biceps and rear delts of our arms, we will do the following. Place the band under the RIGHT foot and place the left foot one step back. Bend your torso so that it is almost parallel to the ground. Hold the band and extend it in a straight line. Pointing your elbows up, squeeze your shoulder blades as you bring the bands together. Lower again and repeat 15-20 times.
PUSH-UP (TRICEPS)
.
Finally, you need to work your triceps. You can perform this exercise in two different positions, one with your hands wider apart to focus more on your chest, or placing your hands narrower to focus on your triceps. Place the band across your back, across your shoulder blades, and so you feel resistance. Do your push-ups (push-ups or push-ups). The resistance band must be taut at the top to do the move. Do 15-20 reps. (This exercise can also be done by supporting your knees if you are a beginner).
