Beginner Resistance Band Leg Exercises (Routine)

Hello and welcome everyone to another edition of Fey Fitness! Today I am teaching you how to do a beginner level leg exercise routine. There are three different moves in this video, but all of them require being in a quadruped position to maximize lower body engagement.

So with all that said, let’s dive into this exercise! With this workout you’re really getting a big bang for your buck. Plank and quadruped exercises work the abs, glutes, chest and back muscles. So this one exercise is a great way to hit several muscle groups at once! However, by adding in the various exercises, we are targeting the glutes and legs to further enhance the muscle growth to these areas- and muscle growth means lean, toned and sexy muscles!


Why Do a This Leg Routine?
• Motor control is increased in the body by strengthening the hip adductors. This means that your body moves more smoothly and effectively when performing bilateral and unilateral movements, such as lifting weights, rearranging furniture in the living room, or getting in and out of bed.
• The hip flexors and hip abductors will get a slight workout from this exercise, which will make them stronger for activities like running, walking or getting out of chairs.

How to Perform These Exercises:
1. Come onto your hands and knees on a soft surface. Make sure your knees are directly under your hips and your hands are under your shoulders.
2. Keeping the core engaged and the back straight, and place a resistance band, or Pilates loop, around the arch of your foot.
3. For the first exercise, lower the foot straight down to a 90 degree angle with your hip and use your glutes and hamstrings to draw the leg straight up and out behind you.
4. Repeat for the desired number of reps on each side.
5. The second exercise requires opening the leg outward, away from the midline of the body, to bring the 90 degree straight leg parallel to the floor. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 in this new position.
6. The final exercise uses the same starting position as Step 5, but this time the leg will raise and lower vertically, rather than move along a horizontal axis.

My recommendation is to perform this exercise along with your lower body workout routine get the best results. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me and I would be more than happy to answer them for you!
