Focus on technique

Advantages of resistance bands include:

• Adaptability. You can vary workouts on the fly by changing movements to challenge your muscles in different ways




• Exercise Bands allow you to increase or decrease resistance simply by shortening or lengthening the band.


• Portability. Resistance bands can easily fit in a travel carry bag to let you work out wherever 


• Resistance Band training lowers body fat in people who are overweight better than other forms of training, including free weights and bodyweight exercises.

3 basics for today

1. Chest press. Wrap the resistance band behind your back, holding both ends with your hands. Starting with your arms at your side and elbows bent, push the band out in front of you as you straighten your elbows, and hold for one second.


2. Squats. Stand on the resistance band and grab both ends with your hands. While standing in a squatted position and holding the band, extend your knees up to a standing position. Lower back down and repeat.


3. Biceps curl. While standing, step on the resistance band. With your arms at your side holding the band, draw up your hand by bending at the elbow and hold for one second. Keep your palms facing upward the entire time.
