| Leg Workout with the Band | |
Lie on your back with your right knee bent and foot on the band. Hold the rubber band with both hands at chest level and try to get the right tension for you. Keep your left leg straight , abdominals tight and back flat. Exhale as you push your leg out, hold for a second. Inhale as you bring the leg back to starting position. Switch leg and repeat the same movement. Do 10 to 15 repetitions of two sets on each leg.
Note: To get the right tension, wrap the band around your hands to make it tight and heavy. Release the band from your hand to make it loose and light. Make sure that there is always tension throughout the exercise as you bring the leg out and in. Always keep your foot flex to prevent the band from slipping.
