Day 11/24 - Resistance Band Advent Calendar : Curl Press

Resistance Band Advent Calendar Challenge

Day 11/24 

Brown card, so a full body workout. Adaptable for all levels! Looks good (and looks nothing like a plank, so phew! I think I’m plank-traumatised!)  

8 REPETITIONS

I'll get back on these tomorrow. Haven't done the last three days as I have YET ANOTHER cold 🙄I've not had so much illness in the past ten years as I have had in the past 14 months for crying out loud 😷🤒🤧🥵😠

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Over60sRunner]

oh no! But at least they’re short enough for you to catch up when you feel better.

[Over60sRunner in reply to CBDB]

Yes, that's what I thought. I can just do them back to back. I've got a nasty feeling I've got an eye infection now - streaming and really sore

[ChannelRunner2 in reply to Over60sRunner]

Feel better soon, Over60sRunner !

[Over60sRunner in reply to ChannelRunner2]

Thank you!

Thanks CBDB I really enjoy these challenges every day👍 I must get some of these cards once the advent calendar is done, so I can keep them up!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to David_G]

yeah, they’re great, aren’t they? I have the runners pack, the resistance band pack was actually a present to my son who lend them to me for this purpose.

But there is also a dumbbells pack, a Bodyweight pack and a yoga pack, all of which sound great!

[David_G in reply to CBDB]

I’ve just bought the resistance band set. They’re arriving tomorrow and will be a Christmas present to myself once the advent calendar is finished🙂 All my other presents are bought and wrapped and my cards written and posted (whether they get there or not is another matter!🤣)

[ChannelRunner2 in reply to David_G]

There's also this periodic table... 🙃 stack52.com/periodic-table-...

[David_G in reply to ChannelRunner2]

thanks ChannelRunner2 I’ll give that a try! 👍

I'm still up to date...just.Probably because I'mstill half asleep but it took about 6 watches of the video to work out what the arm movements he was doing 🤣

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to dijep]

🤣🤣😴🛌

[ChannelRunner2 in reply to dijep]

Well, I had to restart my computer for the video to run! 🤣 We'll see if I have to restart my brain to actually do it now...

[David_G in reply to ChannelRunner2]

It’s worth the effort ChannelRunner2 Good luck!

[ChannelRunner2]

I did three sets (because, well, it's complicated! 🤣). The first set with dumbbells. Then I thought I'd try it with the Theraband - and it worked! 🥳 Of course I had to alternate feet, so I ended up with two more sets. I did fight a bit with the band as it couldn't seem to decide whether it wanted to be on the outside or the inside of my arms. I did not strangle myself, however, so all is good 😉

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to ChannelRunner2]

Not strangling yourself? Check! 😂😂

It sounds like you’ve done awesomely!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold]

I did these with the medium bands and it felt like my spine was compressing! 😂😂 So definitely a workout.

[Wine 30D Graduate]

I have ordered these bands so hopefully will do them when arrive... Have saved post

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Wine]

oh well done. They will be very useful. Dumbbells (or small weights such as tincans) might work in the meantime.
