Stand with feet hip-width apart on center of tube, cross it once or twice in front of you, then grasp a handle in each hand, arms by sides.Crouch down and walk hands forward until you are in full push-up position, arms extended with palms directly under shoulders, legs directly behind you so that you form a straight line from head to heels. (Hold handles lightly by thumbs so that palms can lie flat on floor.) Keeping palms planted and abs tight throughout, press hips back toward heels, bending knees so that they hover just above floor.Straighten legs to return to full push-up position and complete rep.Aim for 16 reps.

Start position-Stand on resistance band with feet a little bit further than hip width apart. Squat down and put your hands through the handles. End position-Explode up with your glutes as you press up resistance band in the air. Remember to keep your core tight as you do this explosive movement. This exercise works your legs, shoulders, and raises your heart rate.

  On your hands and knees, wrap a medium-heavy resistance band around the right foot. Hold the handles in each hand, placing them on the floor below the shoulders. Begin the move with the right knee bent and flex the foot while extending the right leg straight back, squeezing the glutes. Repeat for 2-3 sets of 10-16 reps.
