Bicep Curls

Step on the resistance band, keeping your feet no wider than the hips, and keep a good grip on the handles. The palms of your hand should point forward, while keeping your arms at your side. Your second position should be holding the handles up to your shoulder front for two seconds, then go back to your first position. About fifteen of these should be sufficient exercise.

To do the Chest Press

You can hold the handles and flip the band over your head so as to put it under your arms. Make sure both of your knees are slightly bent with one foot forward slightly. At shoulder level and with your elbows raised to the sides, make your arms bend at 90 degrees making your wrists go directly in front of your elbows. Push your arms forward (and inwards slightly) so that they are apart at shoulder width and are directly straight in front of you. Now return to the original position. To get a good exercise, do fifteen repetitions.

To do the Squat Press

Again, step on the resistance band with both feet and hold the handles at shoulder level to you. Your feet should be placed on the band, hip distance apart. keep your feet no wider than the hips. Move down into a squat by bending your knees and keeping your back straight. When you get to the squat position, lengthen your arms upward. When you start standing up, you can bring your arms down again. For this exercise, do up to fifteen reps.

To Do Side Leg Lifts

Hold both handles with your hands to either side of you and step on the resistance band using both of your feet. Your feet should be placed on the band, hip distance apart. Next, put all your weight on one leg while lifting the other as high as you can to the side. As you lift your foot up to the side, stretch the band up and out also. Now, relax to your original position. This counts as one rep which you can repeat 15 times for each leg.
