Resistance Band Advent Calendar

Is anyone up for joining me on a daily resistance band challenge?  

For the next 24 days, until Christmas, I will use the Stack 52 workout cards to draw by random one resistance band exercise per day. I will post them here as single posts, counting down to the 24th of December, e.g. until Christmas.  The challenge is to do every single exercise as we count down to Christmas.

There will only be one exercise per day. But it will allow us to explore different exercises as we move through the month. So I reckon it will be not more than 10min per day, a new exercise every day chosen by random and posted the evening before.  

So anyone up for exploring a daily resistance band practice with me?

Then get your resistance bands ready and make sure you follow me or drop into our S&F forum here at healthunlocked.com/strength...

We start on 1st December! See you then!

Hi CBDB that sounds great! 👍 I’m already using resistance bands as part of a structured rehab plan, so a little variety and additional exercises won’t hurt. Will you post a link to a video or tell us what to do?🤔 I’m not familiar with exercise names and what they involve😏

CBDBAdministratorGraduate Gold in reply to David_G

Definitely yes. There will be a card describing what to do and a video link for every single exercise!

And I’m so with you! The number of times I had to look up what a some of these names mean, from “Russian twist” or “scapular squeeze” 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve not only learned how to run in the last few years, but names of muscle groups, Indian yoga terms, use of equipment and tools! And ungodly stretch positions! 🤣💪👍🏽

sounds a really good idea. I’ll join in as I’ve never got on with the bands and the different exercises will help me explore them better. Thank you

that’s fabulous. Yes, I also need a purpose for getting the bands out, so this should be good!
