All you need is a long Theraband in the weight of your choosing, comfortable clothes, and a mat, if you\u2019d prefer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add Resistance To 4 Popular Exercises With A Theraband<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banded Push Ups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hold one end of a Theraband in each hand with the band stretched across your back. With the band in place, get into a high plank position with your hands under your shoulders and abs and legs engaged. Holding the Theraband firmly under your hands, bend your elbows until your chest hovers above the floor, then press back up against the resistance of the band.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need more resistance, tighten the band across your back, or loosen it if you need less. Do 5 to 30 reps.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banded Russian Twist<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sit up tall on the mat, knees bent and feet planted on the floor. Place the middle of a Theraband under your feet, grasp the ends in both hands, and hold your hands close to your chest. Inhale and twist your upper body to the right, then exhale and come back to the center. Repeat on the other side to complete one set.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make this exercise more challenging, lift your feet off the ground, wrap the band around your feet, and hold your feet off the ground for the whole exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do 10 to 30 sets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banded Donkey Kicks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the middle of your Theraband and place it over the top of your right foot. Wrap both ends around the sides of your foot to circle it completely, then hold one end in each hand. Get into a tabletop position on your hands and knees, hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips, and flex your right foot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving your knee bent, press the sole of your right foot toward the ceiling, working against the band\u2019s resistance. Hold for one count, then slowly return to the starting position to finish one rep. Do 10 to 30 reps, then switch sides.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Banded Squats<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find the middle of your Theraband and place it under both feet, then stand up straight with your feet hip width apart. Hold one end of the Theraband in each hand and adjust it so you have a good amount of resistance. Then, bend your knees and hinge forward at the hips into a squat. Hold for one count, then return to the starting position to complete one rep.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make this exercise more challenging, extend your arms overhead as you bend your knees. This increases resistance and also works your shoulder muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do 10 to 30 reps.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Therabands are one of the best-kept secrets of the fitness industry.
