Elastic bands have become very trendy as a complement to many workouts.
They have the advantage of portability – you can take them with you anywhere.
Here are Sportize.me’s top 10 elastic band exercises that will work your entire body:
1. Triceps French press
Lie face up on a bench, place the band around the back of your head and grasp it above your face with both hands, arms bent. Extend your arms until they are straight up and down, then lower them to your forehead.
2. Lat pulldown
Stand with your arms out and above your head. Grasping the elastic band, extend your arms out and lower them, stretching the band so that it passes behind your head and descends to your shoulders.
3. Lateral raises
Stand with your feet on two elastic bands. Grasping one elastic band in each hand on either side of your body, raise your arms up until they are straight out and parallel to the floor.
4. Chest press
Lie face up on the floor with an elastic band under your back. With your hands close to your shoulders, grasp the band and extend your arms upward until they are straight up and down, then lower them.
5. Leg press
Lie on the floor with the band underneath your feet and your knees bent at a 90º angle. Grasp the band with your hands on either side of your body and extend and flex your legs.
6. Biceps curl
Stand with your feet on two elastic bands. Grasping one elastic band in each hand on either side of your body, palms facing up, flex and extend your arms one at a time.
7. Standing reverse fly
While standing, grasp the ends of the band with your arms stretched out on either side of your body. Then swing your arms behind you until the band touches your chest.
8. Standing forward fly
While standing, grasp the ends of the band and pass it behind your back. Swing your arms forward until your hands touch.
9. Hip abductions
Lie face up on the floor with your legs raised and bent at a 90º angle. Place an elastic band around your feet and open and close your knees.
10. One-armed triceps extensions
While standing, grasp the band with both hands and pass it behind your back. Keep one arm stretched above your head and the other arm holding the band close to your lower back. Bend the arm that is above you until your hand reaches the back of your neck and extend it again. Repeat with the other arm.
Use different types of elastic bands in different thicknesses for increased or reduced resistance.
