Resistance Band Workout for Beginners [A 10 Minute Workout with Marin]
- Squats: Stand on a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the ends of the band in each hand and place them at shoulder height. Bend your knees and lower your body down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Keep your back straight and your core engaged. Drive through your heels to return to the starting position.
- Lunges: Stand on a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the ends of the band in each hand and place them at shoulder height. Step forward with your right leg and lower your body down until your right knee is bent at a 90-degree angle and your left knee is hovering just above the ground. Keep your back straight and your core engaged. Drive through your right heel to return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
- Rows: Sit on the ground with your knees bent and your feet flat on the ground. Hold a resistance band in each hand and loop the ends of the band around your feet. Lean forward from the hips so that your back is at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Pull the bands towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Slowly release the bands back to the starting position.
- Presses: Stand on a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the ends of the band in each hand and extend your arms overhead. Slowly lower the bands down to shoulder height, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Then, press the bands back up overhead.
- Curls: Stand on a resistance band with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the ends of the band in each hand and let your arms hang down at your sides. Curl the bands up to your shoulders, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Slowly lower the bands back to the starting position.
Resistance band workout exercises can be modified to make them easier or more difficult, depending on your fitness level. For example, if you are a beginner, you can start with a lighter resistance band and/or fewer repetitions. As you get stronger, you can increase the resistance of the band and/or the number of repetitions.
Resistance band workout exercises are a great way to get a full-body workout at home or on the go. They are also a good option for people with injuries or who are new to exercise.
