Resistance Band Leg Extension is an exercise that targets the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. It is a great way to strengthen and tone the muscles in the legs.
How to perform
To perform the Resistance Band Leg Extension exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by attaching one end of a resistance band to a fixed object, such as a door frame or a sturdy piece of furniture.
2. Sit on the floor facing the fixed object with your legs extended in front of you.
3. Place the other end of the resistance band around your right ankle and hold onto the resistance band with both hands for stability.
4. Engage your core muscles and keep your back straight throughout the exercise.
5. Slowly extend your right leg in front of you, keeping it straight and lifting it as high as you can.
6. Hold the extended position for a moment, then slowly lower your leg back to the starting position.
7. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the left leg.
It is important to maintain control and focus on using the correct muscles throughout the exercise to prevent injury and maximize the effectiveness of the movement. Start with a lighter resistance band and increase the resistance as you get stronger. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and listen to your body to avoid overexertion.
