Short Workout: Side-lying Hips and Legs Routine with the Band
The Lower Body (Hips, Knees, Ankles and Feet) • 17m
This short workout with Conchita looks at how adding a resistance band to side lying exercises can provide a greater challenge and, in turn, greater results!
The class uses a light resistance band. These are available from Sissel UK - you will need a yellow band: https://www.sisseluk.com/sissel-fitband-essential-exercise-band.
