Set up the workout
Take an exercise mat and a resistance band with you, for this fun upper body workout. Resistance bands can be easily picked up at many shops at Westfield North Lakes, which is only 5 minutes away. Remember to warm up before you start with some gentle range on motion movements and stretching, and ensure you have checked with your doctor if you are new to exercise, or have any pre-existing medical conditions. At Stewart and Esme Wright Park in Kallangur, there is nothing but a bench and an open green space, making it perfect for a workout with no distractions. We also have Personal Trainers in Redcliffe and North Lakes!
Find a spot for your mat and complete 3 rounds of the following circuit:
20 x Band Row – Sit on your mat with your legs extended in front of you. Place the band around feet and hold either end in your hands. Sit up tall and pull the band towards you, as you do so squeeze your shoulder blades together. Slowly release the band back to your starting position
20 x Band Chest Press – Place the band around your back, and hold each end underneath your armpits. Keep your elbows in line with your shoulders and press the band forwards until your arms are fully extended. Slowly release the band back to your starting position
20 x Band Tricep Press (Each Arm) – Hold the band at one end behind your head, and hold the other end at the base of your spine. Extend your arm above your head, and slowly release the band back to your starting position.
20 x Band Biceps Curl – In a standing position, place one foot in the middle of the band and hold it on the floor. Holding one end of the band in each hand, keep your elbows tucked in to your waist, bend the elbows and pull the band in towards your body. Slowly release the band back to your starting position. Finish your workout with a stretch.
