Shape Up with a Quickie Resistance Band Workout

Back Zip
Karen Pearson

Back Zip

Targets: Shoulders, back, arms, abs, and butt

  • Wrap looped band around wrists. Stand with legs and heels together, feet pointed out to sides 45 degrees. Extend arms in front of you at shoulder level, elbows slightly bent out to sides.
  • Squeeze glutes as you press arms out to sides, stretching band as far as you can while keeping shoulders down. Hold for 1 count.
  • Return to start. Do 15 reps.

Its a little confusing, I needed to put the slides and video together to get the actual exercise. I use the pilates vids daily but disapointed with this one.

Some of these exercises are too complicated. What's with rotating your upper body counterclockwise?
