Fitness Tip of the Day: Thursday's Total Body/Cardio Workout -- Full Body Band Workout

Today's workout uses a resistance band.  It is a video from PopSugar featuring Lacey Stone who is Amanda Seyfried's trainer.  She will demonstrate 5 exercises that will incorporate the resistance band and will work most of your entire body.

Once you get the hang of the exercises, I would recommend trying to do 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions for each of them (the last 2 reps should be challenging).  You can do this by doing all the sets in a row with a bit of rest in between, or you can do all 5 exercises, 8 reps each and repeat 3 times with no rest.  Doing all the sets in a row will fatigue and work the muscle more because there won't be as much rest time.  Doing the whole workout 3 times without rest will be more cardiovascular.

Either way, please warm up first and stretch after.
