To do the Chest Press
For this exercise, hold the handles in your hands and put the band underneath your arms. Place one foot slightly forward, with your knees bent slightly. First, raise your elbows to line up with your shoulders, then put the arms at a ninety degree angle and finally, keep the wrists directly in front of your elbows. Keeping your arms at shoulder width, push them straight out in front of you. Release your arms and let them go back to the beginning position. You can do up to 15 reps of this for adequate exercise.
The Squat Press Workout.
Step on the resistance band, and keep a good grip on the handles as you hold them up to your shoulder level. Make sure your feet are hip-width distance apart. Make sure your feet are standing as wide as your hips. With your back straight, bend the knees so you get into a sitting position. Lengthen your arms upward while squatting. Lower the arms at the same time your standing back up. To get a good exercise, do fifteen repetitions.
Side Leg Lifts
Take hold of the handles with each hand and stand on the resistance band with both feet. Keep your feet no wider than the hips. Then shift all of your body’s weight onto one of your feet while raising your other leg up to the side as far as you possibly can. While doing this, stretch up the resistance band upward and outward as far as you can as well. Now, stand in a relaxed position. This counts as one rep which you can repeat 15 times for each leg.
