How to Use Resistance Bands to Exercise with Children

by Malcolm Young on Jun 02, 2022
How to Use Resistance Bands to Exercise with Children - POWERBANDS®

There are a variety of exercises that your children can do with the best workout resistance bands. Here are some quick and easy exercises to try:

1. Strengthen Core Muscles with a Chopping Exercise

One type of exercise you can do is a chopping exercise where kids will use the resistance band to do a series of small chops. 

To perform this exercise, have your kids stand with the resistance band around their ankles. Then, have them raise their arms above their heads and use the resistance band to move their arms from the ceiling down to a chop motion in front of their knees. Make sure that their arms are close to the side of their bodies.

2. Fly Like a Bird and Strengthen the Shoulders

Another resistance band exercise that you can use with your kids is a shoulder exercise where they will move their arms the same way birds do when they fly.

To perform this exercise, have your kids stand while holding the resistance band behind their back. Then, they will gently pull the resistance band forward and then out to their sides. Next, they will move their arms forward until they are in a T position, and then they will lower the resistance band behind them. Repeat this exercise.

3. Row a Boat and Exercise the Back

For this resistance band exercise, have your kids stand with the resistance band around their ankles. Then, have them pull their arms back and forward in a rowing motion. Repeat this exercise for several minutes.

4. Build up the Lower Body with Squats

Another exercise that you can also do with your kids is a squat exercise, where they will move their knees down and up with each repetition.

To perform this exercise, have your kids hold the resistance band behind their straight legs. They will then squat down and back up, ensuring that they do not bend their knees over 90 degrees. Repeat this exercise.

Final Thoughts 

There are so many ways to use resistance bands to provide exercises for your kids. These simple exercises are easy to do, and they are fun for kids to do as well.

The exercises that you can do with your kids come in various motions, and they also focus on different parts of the body. As a result, you can use resistance bands with your kids to strengthen their core muscles, develop their shoulders and backs, and help them strengthen their legs and arms.

The top top band in bands

A good strong band that goes the distance, doesn't lose its stretch, and, from experience, will last the long haul.

Leg Strength

The Powerbands have provided me with so many options to strengthen all of my leg muscles (hamstrings, abductors, adductors, quadriceps). Very important muscles to work on as we age!!
