Using resistance bands can be a good component of any workout routine, and stomach exercises are no exception. There are a number of drills targeting the midriff that incorporate resistance bands. Resistance bands come in a mixed bag of difficulties, normally indicated by the color of the band itself (e.g., green can be little resistance, yellow perhaps medium, red for difficult, etc.). Choose a resistance degree that is appropriate for you, then move up as necessary. Don’t overdo it by instantly grabbing the most advanced band you are able to find, as this can lead to injury. As with any workout routine, make certain to consult a professional before commencing and always loosen up properly to avoid injury.
Seated Crunch
This exercise offers the same benefits as the common ab crunch, but with less neck strain and without the possible discomfort that comes with lying on the floor, since it uses a band rather than gravity to furnish resistance. For this stomach exercise, you’ll need to be sitting in a straight back chair which you are able to somehow loop your band through. Sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor and about as wide apart as your hips. Contract your ab muscles, and slowly bend forward to about a 45 degree angle. Repeat for an full set. Make sure to keep your feet on the floor and your back as straight as possible.
One-Arm Band Pull
Put the chair aside and stand up, once again with feet hip width apart. Put your hands above your head, holding the band about eighteen inches apart. Keeping your left hand overhead, bring your right hand out to the side, elbow bent at about a 90 degree angle. Hold your left arm still as you contract your abdominal muscles and lower your right arm until your hand is in line with your chest. Hold this position, then slowly return. Repeat for an full set, then switch hands. Keep your back straight and avoid bending or leaning at the waist. For an added challenge, do this exercise while standing on one foot. Do the exercise with both hands while standing on your left foot, then do it all over again on your right foot.
Twisting Roll-Back
For this stomach exercise, you’ll need to sit on a flat surface, preferably the floor. Use a mat or towel for cushioning to ease potential strain on your tail bone. Sit down with your legs bent and heels on the floor. Your toes needs to be pointing up— do not put your feet flat on the floor. Loop the band around your feet, put one end in each hand and put your hands together. In a rolling motion, lower your torso towards the floor about 45 degrees. As you do this, twist to the right and spread your hands to the sides. Hold for a second, then rotate back to the center and raise your torso back to the start. Your heels should stay on the ground throughout the exercise. Do an entire set, then change to the left side.
