Workout Routine for Band Exercise for Abs

This workout routine specifically targets the muscles in your abdominals (abs).

The band crunch exercise targets both your upper and lower abdominals while the band twisting crunch and the band trunk rotation will help you target your obliques.

In order to exercise your abs effectively you will probably want to perform a few sets of a relatively high number of repetitions.

	Band Crunch 2 x 25 repetitions		Band Twisting Crunch - Kneeling 1 x 25 repetitions
	Band Trunk Rotation 1 x 25 repetitions

Workout Routine for Band Exercise for the Back

The workout routine below will help you target the muscles located in your back.

The band row will target your upper lats while the pulldown will target your lower lats. The back fly will target your upper and lower back, as will the arm-leg extension.

You'll rarely need to train your back muscles for power and more likely you will for strength. Consequently, you will want to use a moderate number of sets of a moderate number of repetitions.

	Band Row - Standing; Low; One Arm 3 x 10 repetitions		Band Back Fly - Bent-Over 3 x 10 repetitions
	Band Pulldown - Arms Extended 3 x 10 repetitions		Band Arm-Leg Extension 3 x 10 repetitions

Workout Routine for Band Exercise for the Chest

You may find the workout routine below useful if you are looking to target the muscles located in your chest (i.e. pectorals).

The band chest press will target your outer pectorals while the band chest fly will enable you to target your inner pectorals. The incline band chest press will target your upper pectorals while the decline band chest press will target your lower pectorals.

You may want to train your pectorals for power which will increase their sizes, in which case you will want to use a lower number of sets containing a lower number of reps.

	Band Chest Press 3 x 8 repetitions		Band Chest Fly 3 x 8 repetitions
	Band Chest Press - Incline 3 x 8 repetitions		Band Chest Press - Decline 3 x 8 repetitions

Workout Routine for Band Exercise for Legs

Use the workout routine below to exercise the muscles located in your legs.

The band leg extension will require input from your quadriceps (front of you thighs) while the band squat will require input from your glutes (buttocks) and hamstrings (back of thighs). The band hip abduction will exercise your hips and finally the band calf raise will work out your calves.

Again, you will probably want to exercise your leg muscles towards an objective of strength, in which case a moderate number of sets and repetitions can be used.

	Band Leg Extension 4 x 12 repetitions		Band Squat 4 x 12 repetitions
	Band Hip Abduction 4 x 12 repetitions		Band Calf Raise 4 x 12 repetitions

The band front deltoid raise and the band shoulder press will help you target your front deltoids while the band lateral deltoid raise will target the outer deltoids and the band rear deltoid raise will target your rear deltoids.

As was the case in the workout routine for chest above you may want to exercise your shoulders towards an objective of gaining power in which case you'll choose a low number of sets and repetitions with the emphasis on more resistance.

	Band Front Deltoid Raise 3 x 8 repetitions		Band Shoulder Press 3 x 8 repetitions
	Band Lateral Deltoid Raise 3 x 8 repetitions		Band Rear Deltoid Raise 3 x 8 repetitions
