Resistance bands have recently become highly popular in workout videos, yet most people only use them for lower body workouts. Bands provide a cheap, e ective, and easilystored alternative to weight lifting, and they are perfect for building and toning the upper body. The rst exercise is band pull-aparts. Begin by standing in a stable stance with your feet about hip width apart. Hold the resistance band straight out in front of your body, and pull the arms out laterally. Try to make the movement slow and controlled to make the muscles in your shoulders and upper back work harder. The next workout is bicep curls. For this one, you’ll need a longer band that you can hold under your feet as you stand. From this position, keep your elbows bent at your hips and slowly pull the band upward to work your biceps. The third move is the side-to-front raise. Again, hold the band under your feet and pull it straight up so your arms form a “T” shape. Then, bring both arms together in the front, keinorutherford.org/how-to-use-resistance-bands-for-an-upper-body-workout/
