3. Bicep Curl: Stand on the middle of the band with one foot. Hold one end in each hand, palms facing up. Curl hands towards shoulders, keeping elbows tucked in, then slowly release.
4. Tricep Extension: Anchor the band overhead or stand on it with one foot. Hold one end in one hand, extending arm overhead. Bend elbow to lower hand behind head, then extend arm upwards.
5. Rows: Sit on the floor with legs extended, looping the band around your feet. Hold one end in each hand. Pull hands towards your torso, squeezing shoulder blades, then slowly extend arms.
6. Squats: Stand on the middle of the band with both feet, holding the ends at shoulder height. Perform a squat, keeping your back straight and chest up, then stand back up against the resistance.
7. Leg Press (lying): Lie on your back, loop the band around your feet. Hold the ends in your hands. Push your legs away from your body, extending knees, then slowly return.

5.2 Exercises with Loop Bands

• Glute Bridges: Place a loop band around your thighs, just above the knees. Lie on your back with knees bent, feet flat. Lift hips off the floor, pushing knees slightly outwards against the band.

• Clamshells: Lie on your side with knees bent and stacked. Place a loop band around your thighs, just above the knees. Keeping feet together, lift your top knee upwards, rotating at the hip.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe bands with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before storing. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store bands in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and sharp objects. Avoid storing them in stretched positions.
• Longevity: Regular inspection and proper care will extend the life of your resistance bands.

7. Troubleshooting

• Band feels too easy/hard: Adjust your grip, body position, or switch to a different band (if available in a set with varying resistances) to match your strength level.
• Band rolls up during use: Ensure the band is flat against your skin or clothing. Adjust placement or try a wider band if available.
• Discomfort or skin irritation: Ensure bands are clean. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a doctor.
