No Weight Bench - Try an Exercise Band

Turned on the Golf Channel today and it was a show on Golf Fitness.

The show featured two guys, one showing the other how to use an exercise band.

I've seen these - briefly - on Exercise shows that I've channel-surfed past, and I've never thought they'd be of any use - pretty fiddly.

But some of the exercises shown had promise - especially if you don't have a weight bench with leg attachment, because with the exercise band you can exercise all the muscles in your legs, not just the major ones that the curl and extension do.

If you're going to buy an exercise band, buy a good one - they range in price from $20 to $40 (so an internet search tells me) - I'd say more expensive = better quality.

This website seems to have more sophisticated versions of bands than was shown on the Golf Chennel's site..

One of the exercises shown was with the guy standing on one leg, while the other legs is kicked - slowly - back and forth. This works on both balancing muscles and various leg muscles.

Another exercise was the "Monster Walk" - a bit of Frankenstein's monster leg action going. That looked kind of fun.

This is the kind of thing you could use one every couple of days to give your legs a pretty good workout.
