BodyLastics Review

There are more than 140 different exercises you can perform with the Bodylastics system. To get a quick start using the simple equipment, however, you need only follow the simple guidelines below for basic upper body and lower body exercises then take it from there.

Upper Body:

For upper body exercise, place the door anchor over the upper edge of door that can be completely closed or some other comparable location to which the anchor can be securely held. Next place a chair, either facing towards or away from the door, and sit down in it. Grab hold of the Bodylastics handles and pull them down, either in front of you, behind your head, or out to your sides. All of these options will work various parts of your upper arm muscles.

Alternatively, you can remove the door achor and stand erect, stepping firmly down on the center of your Bodylastics bands. Then pull on the handles, either to your front or your sides, effectively simulating a barbell workout without need of any heavy equipment or such risk of injury.

Wrap the Bodylastics bands around your shoulder while you remain in a pushup position, grasping the handles in order to give you greater resistance than would otherwise be possible in a traditional push up. Or flip over onto your back and simulate an equally effective and powerful bench press regimen.
