With the help of an elastic band, or a resistance band, you can make your workout just that little bit more intensive. We have 4 exercises for you. Good luck!
Stretches the entire side of your body and makes your breathing more powerful
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, keep your knees slightly bent, your pelvis tilted slightly forward and your back straight. Attach the band to your left foot, take the end in your left hand and extend your arm with your elbow above your head, bending to the right. Hold for a moment, come back slowly and repeat on the other side.

Strengthen your back and shoulder muscles
Start sitting on the floor with straight legs. Place the elastic around your feet in such a way that you hold an equal half in each hand (make a loop around each foot if necessary). Straighten your arms, tighten your abs and keep your back and shoulders straight. Pull the band back until your fists are next to your body and your elbows are behind your body. Hold for a moment and then slowly extend your arms forward again. Repeat 10 to 12 times.
Trains your core and leg muscles
Lie on your back with your knees at a 90-degree angle. Wrap the band around your feet and cross it in front to form an X. Hold each end at your waist. Now tighten your core and slowly extend your legs diagonally in front of you. Hold for a moment and come back to the starting position. Repeat 10 to 12 times.
Trains your pectoral muscles
Start in a push-up position with your legs straight and your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Make sure your body is in a straight line from your ankles to your head. Place the band over your shoulders and the ends under your hands so that there is some tension on it. Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor. Pause at the bottom and push yourself back to the starting position. Repeat 10 to 12 times.
