Resistance Band Workouts for Strength and Stability
Resistance bands are excellent tools for building strength, improving flexibility, and reducing injury risk. They target specific muscle groups while allowing for a full range of motion.
Key Exercises:
Band-Resisted Lateral Walks: Place a band around your thighs and take lateral steps while keeping tension on the band. This strengthens your glutes and hips for improved stability.
Band-Resisted Leg Extensions: Attach a band to a sturdy surface and loop it around your ankle. Extend your leg forward against the band’s resistance to strengthen your quadriceps.
Hamstring Curls: Lie face down, anchor the band to a stable point, and loop it around your ankles. Pull your heels toward your glutes, focusing on controlled movements.
Rotational Core Twists: Anchor the band at chest height, hold the handle, and rotate your torso away from the anchor point to engage your core and obliques.
Perform 3 sets of 10–15 repetitions for each exercise, maintaining slow and controlled movements to maximize muscle engagement.
