Band Lunge With Reverse Fly

I thought I would feature a band exercise this month since they are so versatile, easy to travel with over the holidays, and relatively inexpensive. Most importantly, you can get a great full body workout with a band!

Band lunge with reverse fly: works legs, butt, and back

Stand with feet shoulder width apart and hold one end of resistance band in each hand. (band should have no slack in this position and palms are facing down) Raise arms to chest height in front of you. Step back into a lunge and and draw your arms out to the sides. Return to starting position and repeat with other leg. This move is slow and deliberate, squeeze your shoulder blades together and stay low in that lunge. Do 12 times, rest for 30 secs to a min and repeat.

Lateral Lunge To Press

Works legs, butt, shoulders, and core
Hold a dumbell in left hand next to left shoulder and place right hand on hip. Lunge out to the right, keeping feet parallel, and bring dumbell toward right toes. (Sit back on right heel, pushing hips back) Push off right foot and shift weight to left leg and bring right knee to waist height as you draw the weight back to your shoulder and press it overhead. Repeat 10-12 times and switch sides to complete the whole set.
