Resistance bands are extremely versatile pieces of equipment as well as being affordable and compact in size. Simply secure your resistance band to a strong stationary anchor point such as a tree, lamp post or climbing frame. Fold your band in half, pass it behind your anchor point and thread the handles through the loop, pull through to tighten and secure. This workout focuses on the upper body using four basic exercises.
-Close Row, Reverse Fly, Chest Fly, Tricep Extension
-10 reps of each exercise
-Complete 8 rounds in total
Things to remember whilst completing this workout:
-The further away you stand from your anchor point the harder the exercise will be.
- Secure your band at chest height.
-Keep your core strong by drawing your tummy button in towards your spine.
-Think about tilting your hips forward to keep the arch in your lower back to a minimum.
-Breathe out on the hardest part of the exercise.
So don't forget to pack your resistance band in your bag the next time you take the kids to the park!
