Add variety to your exercise routine by using a flex band to make your training session tougher. A flex band adds resistance to any exercise, making your muscles work harder, become stronger and look toned. Adding resistance helps to burn more calories and get results faster. These bands can be used at any fitness level and age. Along with a cardio program, include a flex band resistance training session twice a week.
Front Thigh Toner
Begin the exercise in the standing position, feet slightly apart, hands on your hips and the flex band around your ankles. Extend your right leg forward with your toe pointing down. Focus on pulling the band in front of you as far as you can. Hold for 2 seconds before returning to the starting position. Switch legs. Alternate legs to complete two sets of eight repetitions on each leg. You will feel the burn on the top of your front thigh.
Hip Fat Blaster
Get rid of that stubborn fat around your hips with this exercise. Begin the exercise in the squat position, feet slightly apart, hands on your hips and the flex band around your ankles. As you stand up from the squat, extend your right leg as far as you can to the right of you, toe pointing down and hold for 2 seconds before returning to the starting position. Switch legs. Alternate legs to complete two sets of eight repetitions on each leg.
Back Strengthener
This exercise helps to get rid of fat on your upper back. Begin in the standing position, shoulders back and hold the ends of the flex band. The band should be horizontal in front of your chest. Pull the ends of the band away from your body as far as you can and hold for 2 seconds before returning to the starting position. As you pull the band, focus on pulling your shoulder blades back. Complete two sets of 15 repetitions.
Chest Strengthener
Create a sculpted stronger looking chest and improve your posture with this exercise. Begin in the standing position, feet slightly apart, band resting on the middle of your back, while you hold the ends close to the sides of your chest. Pull the sides as far as you can straight out in front of you. Hold for 2 seconds before returning to the starting position. Complete two sets of 15 repetitions.
