This is the third exercise in our new series detailing how to integrate NeeBooFit Resistance Bands into your yoga practice.  Check back each week for a new exercise in the series!

Adding NeeBooFit resistance bands to your yoga practice can sculpt your arms and add a new dimension of strength training for your whole body.  Practice this series of poses first without the bands, then go back through the list and add them in. You will need your NeeBooFit Resistance Therapy Flat Bands and a X-Heavy or XX -Heavy Resistance Loop Band.  Remember to try a few repetitions with a lighter band first, then determine if you need a heavier band. Choose a resistance that allows for 8-12 reps per side and fatigues the targeted muscles by the end of the set.

This exercise works your core and legs.

Instructions:

  • Use a resistance loop band in XX-heavy resistance level.
  • Establish triangle pose with loop band under the front foot.
  • Pull up on the band as you rise up using your core muscles.
  • As you lift and lower your trunk in each repetition, stay long and extended through the bottom waist.
Tip: Do not lean forward or back, only side bend. Feel as though you are sandwiched between two walls as you rise up and down.
