HELP!! My mum (bless her) bought me some Stretch Bands...they just look like long lengths of rubber to me...I have no idea how to use them!
I really need to tone up my arms and tum, does anyone know any good exercises that can be done with these bands?
Can anyone recommend any YouTube videos?
I have three "strengths" of resistance

They are called resistance bands - if you google resistance workouts you will get tons of links....
I also got a book and DVD with mine with workouts...Sorry I am on my iPad - so don't have all the links to workouts that I have on my computer.0 -
Try Tapout... it uses resistance bands and no weights0

Here are some to be getting on with:

Exercise bands are awesome, I've used them for years and they were invaluable when I was doing rehab on a shoulder injury. The best thing is you can tuck them in your pocket or handbag and have a mini-workout during a walk or run, or even in your work toilets! The last one may just be me...0 -
just look around on youtube.
I'd definitely reccommend that you do some type of row, some face pulls, and some pull aparts. upper back work is great and needed by everyone.0 -
Brilliant, thank you everyone! Feel a bit of an idiot calling them stretch bands...I really am clueless!
Definitely need some upper body/back work outs to tone up...got a wedding dress to fit in to in April!! Will post before/after pics!0
