CHAPTER 8

Tighten Your Trouble Spots

In this routine by personal trainer Selene Yeager, co-author of Move a Little, Lose a Lot, you’ll use exercise bands. They’re ideal for walkers because they provide just the right amount of resistance for great results without risking injury from hoisting heavy weights. To fast-track your training, perform the lifting part of each move as quickly as possible, using forceful, fast contractions of one count while maintaining control and good form. Return to starting position at a slower three-count pace. For the best results, adjust your hand position on the band to ensure it’s taut throughout each move.
