Instructional Hips/Thighs Exercise Video's
Exercise Advice: Using an elastic exercise band, grab a handle in each hand and step on the middle of the band with both feet about 6 inches apart. Keep your hands on your hips and smoothly kick your right foot out to the side about one foot, keeping your leg straight throughout the movement. Hold your leg at the top of this movement for a one-count and repeat with the opposite leg.
Exercise Advice: Stand with your feet just beyond shoulder width apart while standing on the exercise band with both feet. Holding both handles of the exercise band, keep your hands next to your shoulders. Squat to a point to where your thighs become parallel to the floor and then return to the start position. It is very important that you keep your back as straight as possible throughout this movement (one way to help do this is to focus your eyes on a spot high on the wall in front of you throughout the entire exercise). Return to the start position and repeat for 10-12 repetitions.
Exercise Advice: Wrap the exercise band to a door knob or other stationary object. Make sure that each side of the band has the same length. Step back several feet away from the door in order to take up the slack on the bands. With your feet about shoulder width apart, grab the handles and bend your knees slightly while keeping your back straight. Pull the handles toward you in a smooth motion and make sure to keep your elbows into your sides.
Exercise Advice: Begin by wrapping the exercise band around a sturdy post or something similar. Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart while facing the post. Hold the handles in each hand with your arms extended out in front of your body and thumbs pointed up toward the ceiling. Next, pull or ‘row’ the handles into your stomach area. Slowly return to the start position and repeat for 10-12 repetitions. Be sure to keep your back straight and perpendicular to the floor throughout this entire movement.
