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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
