Add resistance band exercises to your workout if you want a fabulous body. To strengthen the body and to tone muscle resistance bands are stretchable bands used by fitness enthusiasts and trainers. These come with or without handles, in different shapes and sizes. Read on to find out how to use resistance bands to get a toned body.
Resistance tube wood chop
Step 1: Hold one of the handles of the tube band with both your hands.
Step 2: Place your right foot in the centre of the tube band to secure it. Let the other handle lie on the floor. Keep your legs shoulder-width apart, back straight, knees slightly bent, and your torso bent.
Step 3: Raise your hand toward your left. Twist your torso toward your left.
Step 4: Hold this pose for a moment and then in a controlled motion bring back the handle to the starting position.
Step 5: Do this on the other side as well.
Resistance band reverse crunch
Step1: Tie a nylon band at the midpoint of the band. You can either secure it to the lower part of a door or tie it to the leg of a cot.
Step 2: Wrap the resistance band ankle attachment around your ankles and facing the door lie down on the floor.
Step 3: Keep your legs hip-width apart, knees bent, and feet flat on the floor.
Step 4: Place your arms by your side, and palms flat on the floor. This is the starting position to make sure there is enough distance between the door or cot and your legs.
Step 5: Exhale and lift your feet off the ground. Keeping your knees bent, bring them close to your chest. Keep your back flat on the floor.
Step 6: Inhale and push your legs away from your chest.
Step 7: Straighten your legs but do not let your feet touch the floor.
