Are you looking for new exercise routines using fitness
resistance bands? The one thing I love about latex bands is their
amazing versatility. You can virtually create hundreds of new routines
for any muscle you can think of.
Here are 2 easy workout routines which can be done using fitness resistance bands.
The butt stretch - It is an interesting routine for your buttock muscles.
This one is performed in a position a bit similar to the traditional horizontal push-up, except that here your body is supported by your knees and hands posed on the floor.
Step 1 - Position yourself with your body supported by both your hands and knees on a mat. At the same time, you are holding in each hand the handles of an elastic band, while the middle of the tube passes around the sole of your left foot.
Step 2 - Slowly stretch your left foot backwards so as to extend the band and stretch your buttocks muscles. Do it until your leg is horizontal to the floor. Now return to initial position, without releasing the pressure.
You can do 10 to 20 repeats then switch legs.
The calf workout - This exercise is best done either with a loop or the figure 8 band (a short elastic loop joined in the middle so as to form a "8"). It's done in the upright position. Make sure that you do not use any support for your body. Pass the band around your ankles.
The exercise consists of working out your calf muscles by stretching your 2 legs apart. 20 to 30 repeats should be enough.
You can use your fitness resistance bands for many more lower-body routines. Remember to continue exploring, experimenting every day. It will make your daily workouts more enriching and so much more fun.
