We are going to show you an easy option that we like more than other exercises. What we're going to do is just take a band, hold it and then walk out to get some tension on it. Then, take your opposite fist and put it right on the inner forearm next to the wrist. That's going to give you a little bit of support as we start working with this. Then from there, just pull back against the band by extending at the wrist. And you are going to feel a nice burn here throught the forearm as you do that.  If you need to make it a bit easier, just step in or get a lighter band. If you need to make it a little harder just step out or get a heavier band. Minimal changes here make a big difference making it very easy to progress and regress back as needed.

 The biceps can also be strengthened with elastic bands. The first thing we are going to do is measure the tape and focus on the middle of it. Then we stand with a distance between the two feet where the middle of the tape is. To know if we are well placed, we must stop and grab the elastic band at each end. For this exercise, an elastic band with grip is mandatory. Afterwards, raise your arms a little and feel the same tension in both arms, then proceed. 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions. Rest of 2 to 3 minutes between each series. Do not arch your back in no time. Slow movements, 4 seconds to go down and up. Strengthening the biceps. 1 Position 2 Position

For this exercise we must have a very long elastic band, depending on how high we are. In this exercise we are going to stop likewise in the previous exercise, visualize the middle of the tape.

A common form fail with squats is the caving in (valgus) of the knees. This often caused by weak glutes and abductors. The mini band is a great tool to correct this flaw in technique. The tension of the band increases bodily awareness, creating a mind-muscle connection in those areas. Performing banded squats for reps allows you to strengthen the proper squat form. Starting Position: Stand up straight with feet at shoulder width apart. The band is placed just above the knees. Your  natural squatting position! Movement: Lower your body by slowly bending your knees. Keep your back straight, booty backwards and move the  knees in a slightly outward direction. Your hands can be used for balance.
