3. Plank Leg Lifts


Support your body in the high plank position with your hands and feet touching the ground. Your hands should be under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heel. The resistance band should be placed around your ankles. Engage your core and glutes and lift your left heel up against the resistance of the band. Keep your body aligned, don’t round your back. Return to the starting position. Do all repetitions on one side, then switch to the other side.

4. Bicep Curl



Sit straight on a chair. Place the resistance band under one foot. Grasp the band with one hand. Curl your arms towards your chest against the resistance of the band. Slowly return to starting position and repeat for 10 – 15 times. Avoid moving your back, shoulders, and elbows while you perform the biceps curl.
