Sit All Day? These POWERBANDS Stretches Straighten You Out

by Malcolm Young on Aug 25, 2022
Sit All Day? These POWERBANDS Stretches Straighten You Out - POWERBANDS®

Exercise bands are often used as a workout tool to improve circulation, recover from injury, and increase flexibility. They are light and portable, making them portable during vacations, conferences, and virtually anywhere. However, knowing how to use POWERBANDS correctly isn't always easy. The following exercises should get you started.

Bellow Breaths

This helps improve your breathing by opening up your chest and lungs, allowing you to take deeper and fuller breaths.

Sit down with the POWERBANDS looped around your wrists and your hands inside the loop. Straighten your arms without locking your elbows, then press your arms away from each other until you feel resistance. Raise your hands to chest level, then exhale and exhale deeply. Return to the starting position and repeat ten times.

Seated Leg Abductors

This stretch helps to strengthen the muscles around the hip and can help to reduce any tightness in that area.

Sit on the edge of a chair, spreading your legs apart with a resistance band looped around your feet and thighs, just above your knees. Tuck your pelvis slightly, then use your hips to push your knees to the sides as wide as possible. Hold for a moment, then allow your knees to return to the center in a slow, controlled movement. Repeat 10–15 times.

Shoulder Stretches

This exercise helps correct computer posture where the pectoral muscles shorten from the shoulder being rolled forward.

Start by standing up straight and reaching behind to grab the band with your thumbs. Next, roll your shoulders back and open your chest. Slowly raise your arms behind you, letting the POWERBANDS stretch slightly. Make sure not to raise your arms any higher than feels comfortable. Then, take a few deep breaths. Then, release slowly.

Repeat this two more times.

POWERBANDS Walks

This helps improve balance and strengthens the muscles around the hip. It is also known as monster walking, which is also a great exercise for strengthening the muscles around the hips and glutes. 

Place the POWERBANDS around your ankles and stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bend your knees slightly and activate your core muscles. Then, take a large step diagonally forward with one leg. Pause, and then take a large step forward with the other leg. Continue taking five steps with each leg, and then reverse direction.

Pull Aparts

This exercise helps improve your posture by targeting the shoulder and upper back.

Take a band and loop it around your hands. Hold it at chest level with your arms bent and your elbows tucked into your sides. Without moving your elbows, spread your arms as the band pulls tighter. Bring the band back to the starting point slowly and constantly, and repeat ten times. Make sure to keep your core braced.

Why Should I Even Do These?

POWERBANDS stretches don’t just make workouts slightly challenging; they also increase the benefits you reap. These workouts improve blood circulation and oxygen levels, so your organs and muscles work together more effectively. These workout tools are a great way to get your blood flowing without much effort!

POWERBANDS® 30cm Fabric Blue Band – Heavy Non-Slip Glute Resistance Exercise Band | 6kg–20kg Resistance | Build Strength
Anne Wiseman
Blue band

To be honest it is a little easy for me. The extra heavy is better for my glute abductions . But I am an intermediate lifter. The band itself is very well made

Thanks, Anne. That makes sense for an intermediate lifter: the Blue sits one step below the X-Heavy Black, so the Black is the better pick for your glute abductions. The Blue still earns its place for warm-ups, band walks and higher-rep sets, and it's good to hear you rate the build quality. – Michael Clancy

POWERBANDS® 30cm Fabric Black Band – X-Heavy Non-Slip Glute Resistance Exercise Band | 8kg–30kg Resistance | Strength Training
Anne Wiseman
Good band

Very tough when doing seated band abductions which is good because I don’t have access to a seated abduction machine

Thanks, Anne. Good to hear the X-Heavy Black is tough enough on seated band abductions to stand in for an abduction machine. That kind of home setup is exactly what the 30cm fabric bands are made for. – Michael Clancy
