RESISTANCE BAND EXERCISES Try out these Resistance Band Exercises with your liveWELL Resistance Band! Utilize the photos and descriptions below to assist in your resistance band workout.
Exercise #1: Banded Marches Start with the band placed over the middle of your shoes. Start standing upright with a light grip on a stable item for support with your feet hip width apart and knees slightly bent. While thinking about core engagement, lift one leg and then the other and feel the core engaging to help the quad muscles lift the leg. Do this 15 times on each foot, alternating between your right and left foot at your own pace.
Exercise #2: Banded Rotation Place band around your wrist and be sure to keep tension on the band throughout the movement. Squeeze through your core and keep shoulders back. Rotate arms and upper body while keeping arms at shoulder height. Pick up your opposite heel and rotate your foot in as you twist. Control this movement as you rotate. When you rotate back to center, that is 1 rep. Complete 10 reps on each side.
