In talking with our Healthy Highlanders about barriers to exercise, a few common responses emerged- lack of time, equipment, “athletic ability”, experience or knowledge. So today I want to share a resistance band workout with you. Attached you will find a pdf with a total body workout using a resistance band/tubing. There are pictures and instructions for each exercise. Working with resistance bands provides an inexpensive and portable way to get a full-body strength-training workout at home or on the road. You can purchase resistance bands with different levels of resistance at Walmart (as low as $5), Academy (as low as $9), and other sporting goods stores. We also have resistance bands in the Fitness Room (M/WF 119) that you can use to try out these exercises. For more exercises you can do with resistance bands, visit http://www.acefitness.org/acefit/fitness-fact-article/237/resistance-tubing-workout/ or http://www.shape.com/topics/resistance-band-exercises.
Another option for resistance training (which is recommended 2 times per week for all major muscle groups) is the total-body weight-machine circuit set up in the Fitness Room (M/WF 119) on our campus. You can request the full details of the circuit by emailing kdrake@mclennan.edu or ask at the sign-in desk in the Fitness Room.
