Tuesday 9/25
Tuesday's class was a good introduction to using resistance bands. I didn't like them at first, but as we started doing different exercises involving the bands, I began to like them. The hardest exercise for me on Tuesday was the "sit-up with the band underneath you and pull up to do a crutch," which I never really caught the exact name of. I liked it a lot and it was really different from doing a similar exercise without the band.
On another note, my hands smelled like balloons all day long :( it took me two class periods to realize that the rubber smell was coming from me! haha!
Thursday 9/27
We worked with resistance bands again today after our awesome two question test :) I feel comfortable enough to use them on my own now at the gym and I'm pretty sure I will be sharing some of these exercises with my mom when I go home next weekend!
I think the consistent use of the bands really helped this class period, as opposed to the last where we had to alternate bands. The same exercises we did on Tuesday I felt a lot more in my arms and legs today because of constant use with the bands.
I think I could have done more of the walking/side-stepping exercises with the band because I really felt those in my legs.
Again...balloon-smelling hands are very difficult to get away from.
It was a great week and so far I feel like I've come a long way. My core has definitely gotten stronger and I look forward to next week! :) Have a great weekend!
