Exercise Description:
Resistance Band Runs:
• Anchor a sport band to a secure object and step into it so the band is around your waist. (you can also use a harness)
• Sprint forward at maximum speed until the resistance reaches its maximum point
• Resist the motion as you backstep the way you came
• Immediately start the next rep
(** The same cues apply for sport band runs in all 3 directions)
Resistance Band Deadlift:
• Double over a sport band and place your feet on the band at both ends of the loop
• Bend over and grasp the band in the middle with both hands
• Keep the arms straight and dynamically extend the glutes, ending in a standing position
• Keep your back straight, return to the starting position and immediately repeat
• Do these fast and without pause
Resistance Band Overhead Squat:
• Place your feet on the inside of the band and extend your arms overhead while holding onto the band (the band should be "surrounding" you at this point)
• Keep your arms overhead, press the hips backward and bend your knees to 90º, as you would in a regular squat
• Extend the legs, ending in a standing position
• Repeat
