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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
