Below is my planned discussion for my appearance on "Charlotte Today" this morning (11am on NBC):
-Just for the sake of argument, let’s say you’re stuck on a deserted island (and you’re trying to stay in shape while being a castaway...sick idea, I know), which one piece of workout equipment do you want to have on hand?
-Correct Answer: a Resistance Band
-Resistance Bands are the cheapest, most portable (fit in a purse or suitcase, can even make it through airport security!), yet still effective, piece of exercise equipment on the market today
-You may not be stuck on a deserted island, but staying fit while surviving regular everyday life can still be a huge challenge:
Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom trying to squeeze a workout in on the living room carpet while the babies nap OR a traveling professional aiming to stay fit while on the road living out of hotel rooms, your best bet is a $9 handled resistance band.
-The exercise possibilities with a resistance band are endless, but I’m going to give you a simple routine to follow that will 1) TONE your muscles head-to-toe AND 2) ELEVATE your HEART RATE for a killer cardio workout
5 Rounds for Time:
- 10 x Resisted Squat
- 10 ea. x Overhead Hold + Side Leg Pulse
- 10 x Resisted Push-Up
- 10 ea. x All 4s Single Leg Rear Extension
- 1 min. x Resisted Sprint
-You can even improve your flexibility by incorporating a resistance band into your post-workout stretching routine.
- Supine Hamstring Stretch
- Supine Low Back Stretch (bend knee into chest)
- IT Band Stretch (drop leg over front of body)
- Inner Thigh and Groin Stretch (open up hips, bring toe up towards ear)
- Shoulder Pass-Through Stretch
