General Tip - Hold on tight to the dynoband, letting go may hurt.

Motivational Tip - Try completing the exercises with your eyes shut, helps slow and controlled feel.

Training Programme - Home Dynoband training programme (3 sets of 10-16 reps for each exercise)

Bicep Curls - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Stand on the dynoband with one foot or two if your stronger. Grip the band in both hands tightly. With your elbows tucked in slowly bend your arm at the elbow and curl your wrists towards your chest and slowly back down again.

Chest Press - Hook the band around a bannister or a similar solid object. With your back to the bannister grip the band and hold it at shoulder hieght. Slowly push away untill your arms are fully extended and slowly return to your starting position. To make the exercise harder stand further away from the fixed point thus creating more resistance.

Dynoband row - Hook the band around a bannister again but this time facing it. Grip the band with your arms fully extended (straight). Slowly pull the band towards you keeping your elbows tucked in untill your hands are by your ribs. Slowly return to starting position and repeat.

Tricep Extension - Hold the dynoband at shoulder hieght with your hands shoulder width apart. Keeping your elbows level with your shoulders slowly straighten your arms feeling the resistance increase as you do so. Slowly return to the starting position. To make more difficult start with your hands closer together.

Up Right Row - Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Stand on the dynoband with one foot or two if your stronger. Grip the band in both hands tightly. Slowly pull the band up so your wrists rise up to shoulder hieght and slowly return to the starting position.
