Resistance Tubing Exercises

LOL Heidi! That's great that you made the plunge and bought some. You can really get a good full-body workout using them. There is some information on the about.com site with basic exercise info. I think the best thing is to pick the ones that are the easiest to get the hang of and then once you get used to the feel of the band try some that are a little bit more difficult for you.

Here's a link with some basic exercises:

You can also watch some videos on YouTube if you search "resistance band training" a bunch will pop up in the results window.

cool beans thanks! Ill take a further look at all the links when my bands get here.

I saw the chest ones and immediatly thought "ok, don't wanna do anything that makes my chest bigger" LOL

I'm a bit on the full chest side too, Heidi . But, the resistance bands and strength training are actually good for the full busted. Doing resistance training for the chest as well as push ups tone up the pectoral muscles underneath all the breast tissue. This won't make you super perky or grow in chest size but it will help the sag a bit.

Plus, one advantage of the resistance bands is that you are only using the resistance of your body weight and the bands to help tone.

Wait up! Did you just say they'll help with sag?? Where's that code!?!?
