This video takes you through a few of the exercises that can be done with a resistance band. It can be hooked up to a fence or you could hook it up somewhere at home, like on a pole or whatever you can wrap it around.
For the first exercise, you want it to be at the height of your belly button, pull it in front of you, clap your hands together, and step to the side. You get to control the resistance. The farther away that it is, the harder it’s going to be to pull. So you’re going to stand shoulder width apart with your feet, core tight, standing upright, shoulders back, and you’re going to press it in front of you. This will work your obliques. Then you’ll turn around to switch sides and you’ll do it that way as well.
Another exercise that can be done instead of going out and in is to stir the pot. Here you’ll want to keep your arms out and rotate, making sure your whole torso is rotating and that you’re not just twisting at your shoulders. Your core should be tight.
