Hey there, you beautiful people! Are you ready to get your sweat on? Because I’ve got some resistance band exercises that are going to make your legs scream (in a good way, of course).
First up: The squat
This exercise is a classic, and for good reason. It’s a great way to work your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. Here’s how to do it with a resistance band:
- Stand on the band with your feet shoulder-width apart
- Hold the handles at your shoulders
- Squat down, keeping your weight in your heels
- Stand back up, squeezing your glutes at the top
Next up: The lunge
Lunges are another great exercise for working your legs and glutes. Here’s how to do them with a resistance band:
- Place one foot on the band, holding the handles at your shoulders
- Step back with your other foot, lowering your back knee towards the ground
- Press back up to the starting position, squeezing your glutes at the top
- Repeat on the other side
Third on the list: The glute bridge
This one is great for your glutes and hamstrings. Here’s how to do it:
- Lay on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground
- Place the band just above your knees
- Lift your hips up towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top
- Lower back down and repeat
Last but not least: The crab walk
This one is a bit different, but it’s a great way to work your outer thighs. Here’s how to do it:
- Place the band just above your knees
- Get into a squat position with your feet shoulder-width apart
- Take a few steps to the side, keeping tension on the band
- Take a few steps back to the starting position
- Repeat in the other direction
There you have it, folks! Four resistance band exercises that will leave you feeling the burn (but in a good way). Give them a try and let me know how it goes!
