Back again with another video. It's Labor Day so I have today off and since I got free time I might as well update with some video/blog posts. Well what I have for you guys today is an resistance band chop. Resistance bands are awesome because they give you a different feel than using traditional barbells and dumbbells. In this video, I am performing some resistance band chops, you can also call them twists to. Here is a brief outline on how to properly perform this exercise:
Resistance Band Twists
Resistance band twists are an important exercise because they strengthen your muscles in the transverse plane.
Your oblique muscles are important to developing functional and core strength as well as helping to keep your waist line slim.
Start: Have the bands attached to a secure object and walk away from the attachment until you feel tension in the band.
Stand up tall with your legs slightly bent and feet shoulder width apart and extend your arms forward in front of your chest. Walk to the side so your hands are pointing to the origin of the resistance.
Begin the motion: Keeping your core drawn in and your arms fully extended, turn away from the origin of the resistance band.
Try to keep your hips from moving so you are isolating your obliques which rotate your torso at the waist.
Slowly return the band to the original position
Modifications: To increase the difficulty of this exercise you can decrease the stability of your base. To do this, simply move your feet together until they are touching, or stand on an unstable object such as a BOSU ball or balance disc.
Well, folks thanks for checking up with the blog and I hope you find this information informative and continue to visit the TUBE at:
