This exercise is often called "lizards with resistance", since the tape does its heavy work. We are going to make a conventional lizard to work the chest, but what changes is that we will place the elastic band. We are going to press with the hands on the floor, placing under one end of the tape and we pass the tape through the back. In this same way, place the tape so that it presses into the natural position of the lizard. Afterwards, we go down slowly and the tension will feel when going up. 4 sets of 8 to 10 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 chest                                      1 Position                                      2 Position

The exercise Band Pull Apart requires little time and doing it every day can bring great benefits because it isn't an overload exercise. In the video  ATHLEAN X - THE BAND PULL APART , it tells us perfectly the realization of the technique and some tips to increase all the benefits that this exercise brings us, such as the improvement of: Poor posture / Rounded shoulders.  Muscle and strenght imbalances.

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.
