Resistance Band Exercises – Part 5

IntoFit | January 8th, 2009 | Workouts - Strength | 4 Comments »

I know I have been throwing a bunch of exercises at you. My point is to provide you with a reference so that you have exercises to choose from when working out at home or at the gym. So many people shy away from strength training because they simply don’t know what to do! These posts are here to provide you with the what and how, all you have to do is get off your couch! And remember, You can make yourself an easy at home circuit by picking 6 exercises from this series and my other ones. Perform each exercise 12 -15 times unless otherwise noted and move from one to the other. At the end of your 6 exercises perform a 1 minute cardio exercise such as: Jumping Jacks, Jump Rope, Shooting Hoops, Shadow Boxing. Repeat this series 2 more times for a total of 3 circuits. 


  • Shoulder Press:

Stand on your exercise band in neutral. Holding onto the handles, form the bottom half of a box with your arms above your head, your elbows will be at 90-degrees and in line with your shoulders. From here, move your arms up toward the ceiling and allow them to meet above your head. Come back to your starting ”box” position. 15 repetitions.*It is important to keep your shoulders from elevating.

  • Shoulder Raise to Front:

In a neutral position with your core activated, stand on your resistance band and hold onto one handle. Keep you shoulders down. One at a time, raise your hands in front of you up to 90-degrees keeping a very slight bend in the elbow and then come back to your starting position. Repeat 15 times with each arm.
