Resistance Band Exercises, anyone got some good ones?



Recommended Posts

Hello All!

I really need to exercise more than I am right now (walking to and from the metro isn't cutting it!) and I have resistance bands with a few exercises. I was wondering I any of y'all have suggestions? I don't want to spend $$$ on a gym membership!

Thanks!

Yo.

Try YouTube -- I've seen a lot of workout videos posted there.

I have resistance bands too and they are great aren't they? Did yours come with a DVD? Mine came with a DVD with about 25 different ways to use them (over the door, between the door jam, or solo). I also found K- bands. You can use them on your legs when ur walking. Helps build leg muscles (and football players use them to help make them faster, my son uses them). I need to build leg muscles :).

Mine did not come with a DVD. My son showed me a couple of exercises (baseball player) but I need more of a workout routine. I'll check out YouTube.

You can do great workouts with little to no equipment. Squats, lunges, sit ups, push ups, etc all provide a great workout. There are free workout apps for smart phones as well as videos online. If you have an Amazon Prime membership, they have free workout DVDs available to view. I like Bloglates (online), Couch to 5k (phone app) and just started doing Jillian Michaels' yoga workout on Amazon. Most fitness stores also have workout posters demonstrating resistance band moves.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
