I know what you’re thinking—“what’s the big deal about a band?” While a band is still a great way to work your abs, it can actually be a great strength training workout. I recently had a friend give me the following tips about how to make a band work as an effective resistance workout.
First, you’ve got to make sure that you really do stretch enough. A band is not a gym, it’s not a set of weights, it’s not a device. The purpose of a band is to move you and stretch your muscles. If you don’t stretch enough then the band is not working.
If you are like me and you work out everyday then a band is actually the perfect way to work your abs. You can simply put your hands on the band and move them up and down to work your abs and lower back muscles. This helps your abs and back muscles to work more efficiently and you can actually stretch out your abs and back muscles.
As many of you already know, the new door resistance workout is my workout of the day. I can’t get enough! This particular workout, however, is all about the abs. I used to do these exercises every day and I’ve been getting better at them since I started doing this workout. There is a reason why the workout is called door resistance band workouts. It’s because you are not walking on the door and the bands are pressing against the doors.
If you ask me, this move is one of the best exercises Ive done to strengthen the abs. The best part? It only takes a few minutes and you get to stretch and press the bands against the doors for an hour. This is a workout that can make you look and feel like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie star.
The next day we decided that we needed to get back into the gym. I mean, this is about a 12 minute workout. So we met up with some friends, went for a walk, and decided to go for one of these door resistance band workouts.
With the gym closed for the day, we decided to do this. I did the 10 rep band circuit, and for my first set, I did a 20 pull low row. I did about 12 reps. Then, I did a 20 pull high row. I did about 12 reps. Then I did another 20 pull low row. I did about 12 reps. Then I did a 20 pull high row. I did about 12 reps. Then I did another 20 pull low row.
This is the exercise in which you do the band exercise and then you do the pull exercise. You would then do a few reps of each. Once you get used to it, you can do this exercise a couple of times a day. The first time you do it, you’ll feel like you’re actually doing the band exercise. The second time, you’ll feel like the band exercise is the same as the first time you did it.
This is the fourth in the “Five-Minute Workout Series” series. In it, you can see a picture of the exercise, and then you can do the same exercise five times in a row. This will increase your blood flow and will help to increase your strength and endurance.
The first two exercises are simple: the band exercise and a pull-up. The last exercise is the hardest and it requires you to do a lot more work. In the exercise above, you take one arm and you pull it up a few times. Then, you hold the other arm in your hand as you make the movement with the band. You can do this exercise for 1-2 minutes.
