Going Green

Hi! 💁

For this week's fitness Friday video I decided to have a workout incorporating resistance bands. There are several reason and benefits to why resistance bands are so effective especially when targeting large muscles such as the lower body.

Here are some of the reason I like using resistance bands.

1. Adds tension/challenge to your workout without using weights
2. Improves balance
3. Reduces joint pain
4. Improves your speed of movement
5. Burns fat
6. Builds muscle
7. Challenges every major muscle group in your body
8. Boosts stamina 
9. Can use at home
10. Variety

Now, here is rundown of the fitness Friday video posted (6/30) 

This workout should not take more than 30 minutes. Should not take more than 10 seconds break in between exercises. Use your resistance band throughout your workout. When using the band make sure to keep bent knees this way you wont hurt your lower back.

1.Tabata jump roping.

• 20 seconds on 10 seconds off. Repeat 8 times

2. Side to side walk

• 4 counts each side for a total of 12 for left leg and right leg 

3. Forward and back walk
