If you find your legs workout so simple and easy, here’s one variation you can try using a thera band to make your workout more challenging.
TRANSCRIPT:
Hi I’m Sam from Inner Strength Pilates and Barre, and today we’re going to do an exercise using our thera band.
So you just come on to the floor, now you want to tie it in a knot, okay, so obviously the more challenging you want it, the tighter you want it to be.
For this one you will need it quite loose because we are extending the leg right back and pushing at stretching as far as it can go.
Alright, so tying that up, making sure it’s nice and tight so it doesn’t come undone, okay.
Now we’re going to place this over one knee, so it’s best if you stretch it out so that’s it nice and flat, okay, now we’re putting it on one knee, standing on knot, that’s it, and putting the other foot inside, so we’re putting it around the bottom of our foot, okay.
Now pulling that one right up, making sure it’s nice and secure, okay, so coming on to our four’s, again making sure that your hands are right underneath those shoulders.
Okay now we’re extending the leg back, so just making sure that you have enough room to go all the way back and you’re not hitting into any walls or anything, okay.
So now we’re lifting up, now we extends the leg back, and pulling it in, good, extending back, now making sure we’re pulling that belly button right up to that spine, extending all the way out, and in, that’s it, extending out, good.
We’re going to do a little faster now, here we go, for 8 and in, 7 and in, that’s it, 6, good, keep squeezing that belly button up, for 4, and 3, 2, good, now we’re going to hold out there, let’s pulse it out, we’re bringing it right up, that’s it, try to keep it as straight as you possibly can.
4 more to go, for 4, 3, 2, good, now we’re going to go for a second set, here we go, pushing back for 2, and in, good, nice and slow with this one, making sure it’s nice and controlled on the way up and in, good.
So we do 4 slow, last one slow, then we go for 8 single counts, are we ready, here we go, for 8, and in, 7, that’s it, 6, good, 4 more to go, for 4, and 3, 2, now we pulse it leave it up, here we go, pulsing up, that’s it, good, and once you’ve done 8 pulses you can bring it all the way back in again, okay.
So now what you’re going to do I want you to go for 3 sets on that leg, and then I want you to change over and do 3 sets from the other one.
So I hope you enjoy the workout and I’ll see you next time.
