RESISTANCE BAND EXERCISE: QUAD BAND EXTENSION

This exercise works the quadriceps. To get started, sit on the floor and slide the handle of the resistance band over the top of the right foot till snug and tight. Grasp the band about 1 foot from the handle and wrap the band tightly around your left foot. Take your foot and place it flat on the floor. Hold onto the other handle with your left hand at your side. Count 1: Lie back and pull your leg upwards towards your torso to a 90-degree angle and extend your leg directly towards the ceiling, keeping tension on the band. Count 2: Return to the starting position. Repeat this extension 10--12 times, then switch feet and repeat 10--12 times.
