Exercise

Explosive Pushup 1. Start by getting into a push-up position. 2. Lower yourself to the ground and then explosively push up so that your hands leave the ground. 3. Catch your fall with your hands and immediately lower yourself into a pushup again and repeat. 4. Repeat for the recommended repetitions. Trainer's comments: Perform as much as you can

Wall Squat with resistance 1. Start by placing the ball behind the small of your back. Place the band your your feet and hold onto it with your hands. 2. Slowly squat down until your thighs are near parallel to the ground. 3. Return to the starting position and repeat. Trainer's comments: Place handle over your shoulder

Chest Fly with Tubing 1) Secure door strap waist height. 2) Stand with feet shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent, facing away from the attachment point. You may put one foot in front of the other (staggered stance) for increased stability. 3) Start position: Grasp each handle and position hands wider than shoulder width with palms facing each other (neutral grip). Elbows should be slightly bent and behind the body. 4) Begin by moving arms in an arcing motion to join hands at chest level. 5) Return to start position. Trainer's comments:

Single Leg Curl (on ball) 1) Assume back lying position on floor. Place hands at sides with palms down on floor. 2) Start position: Place heel of one foot on top of Flexaball. Other leg should be held in the air above ball. Raise hips off floor by pushing heel down into ball. 3) Curl ball towards glutes by flexing at the knee. Hips should remain off floor. 4) Return to start position. 5) Remember to maintain stability of ball by utilizing muscles in the trunk and core. To increase difficulty, raise hands up over chest. Trainer's comments:

Chinup 1) Position hands shoulder width to slightly narrower than shoulder width apart with underhand grip (palms facing towards body). 2) Start position: Hang with arms fully extended and elbows forward. Feet may be crossed with knees bent. 3) Pull body up until bar is below chin level. 4) Return to start position. 5) Remember to keep the movement controlled with the body stable to minimize momentum and body sway. If the bar is too high, it is advisable to use a step to ensure proper hand placement as well as safety. Trainer's comments: Perform Staggered Pullups if possible

The Best Home Gym You Will Ever Own

Bodylastics is a complete home gym system. We designed this system in 1996 to outperform the most popular and expensive large bulky home gyms.

Smoothest Resistance
When we were first developing the Bodylastics home gym system, we searched for the smoothest source of resistance on the planet. Well, we found it - Elastic tubing. Not only is elastic tubing super smooth when you pull and push it, but it is incredibly light and flexible. That means it is easy to store - no extra room needed! Once we decided that elastic tubing would be our resistance "engine", we had to design a system that would be able to create several levels of tension. This would enable users of all strength levels to get the best results possible. So, we created the Bodylastics Quick Clip System. Our elastics have clips secured to the ends so that they could be easily attached to handles and ankle straps. This simple yet effective design gives users the ability to generate 15 levels of tension (Basic Tension Set) or even 31 levels of tension (Max Tension set).

Best Gym Exercises and then some!
Every set of Bodylastics comes complete with extra heavy duty components (handles, ankle straps and door anchor). These components used in conjunction with the elastic tubes can recreate all of the exercises from the health club, and some others that even the best machines can't duplicate.
