Exercises and Workouts - Four Resistance Band Moves To Do At Home

 If you're looking to get started with strength training, but are feeling a little intimidated at the thought of hoisting up some dumbbells, resistance bands can be a great place to start.

The great thing about resistance bands is they do come in a variety of tension levels, so you can choose whatever tension is going to best match your individual needs.

Furthermore, since they tuck away into any drawer or cupboard, they're the perfect fitness equipment to have at home.

Here are four great moves to get you started...

1. Shoulder Press. To perform the shoulder press, simply stand under the middle of the band and hold an end in either hand. From there, press upward so your hands are at your shoulders.

From there, press upwards a little more until your elbows are extended. Once in this position, pause and then lower back down to your shoulders to complete the rep.

Continue until all reps are completed.

2. Bent Over Rows. Next, also consider bent over rows. Bent over rows are ideal for hitting the back muscles and may assist with helping you maintain good posture.

Again, stand with your feet under the middle of the band, holding an end in either hand. Bend over at the waist and then pull the band upwards as you bring your hands into the underarm area.

Pause in this position and then lower back down to complete the rep.

3. Deadlifts. Deadlifts are the next good resistance band move to get into the picture. These are another back as well as a hamstring builder and are going to be ideal for generating a higher degree of strength.

Stand again in the center of a resistance band, holding one end in either hand. From there, straight up through your body until you're in a full standing position. Keep your knees straight at all times.

Pause and then lower back down until your back is at a 90-degree angle to complete the rep.

4. Squats. Finally, last but not least, don't overlook squats. Stand in the middle of the resistance band, holding one end in either hand, and then lower down until you're in the full squat position.

Make sure there is sufficient tension in the band and then from there, press up until you're fully standing.

Continue until all reps are completed.

If you do just these four exercises two to three times per week while you watch TV in the evening, you will be taking a large step forward to a healthier and fitter body.

Although managing Type 2 diabetes can be very challenging, it is not a condition you must just live with. Make simple changes to your daily routine - include exercise to help lower both your blood sugar levels and your weight.
