superband exercises

cross band lateral walks

Active the hips and the glutes

1. Wrap the band around the waist, then cross it around both feet

2. Begin talking short lateral steps without losing your plank posture

3. Press from the heels as you walk laterally to activate the hips and the glutes, then begin to move more rapidly

4. Repeat stepping side to side

Add challenge to a basic crunch to strength core muscles

1. Secure one end of the superband to a stationary anchor that will not move or budge, even when pulled on

2. Start lying on your back with legs outstretch and the arms reaching straight up, holding the band over the chest

3. Simultaneously drive the knees up and drive those straight arms down until the band touches the feet

4. Return the legs to a straight position and re-position the band over the top of the chest

Challenges lateral stability and rotation

1. Secure one end of the superband to a stationary anchor that will not move or budge, even when pulled on

2. Start by standing with the superband close to the mid-chest

3. Step to the side while maintaining the opposite leg straight and extend the band away from the chest

4. Without bending that leg, drive powerfully off the bend leg to return to a standing position and let the band return to the chest

5. Repeat on the other side
