Bala Bangles

Wear Bangles on wrists and start in a standing position with feet shoulder width apart. Keep your elbows glued to the side of your ribs and slowly curl your arms up to meet your shoulders with your palms facing forward. Squeeze your bicep muscle while your arms are on their way up and again when you’re at the top of the movement. Reverse the curl back down and repeat as many times as needed. Let it burn!

With Bangles on the ankles start in a plank position with equal distribution of weight between hands and feet, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart, back flat and head in alignment. Pull one knee into your chest and then alternate with the other knee. Run it out!

Wear Bangles on wrists and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and extend your arms parallel to the floor. Circle your arms forward using small controlled movements until you feel a burn in your triceps and shoulders. Reverse the direction of the circles after about 10 seconds or as long as you’d like. Bring it full circle.

Wear the Bangles on the ankles and stand with your legs shoulder width apart. Stabilize your core to protect your back. Keeping your leg straight, kick out your leg slowly to the side of your body. Repeat as many times as needed to feel a burn. Use a chair or wall for additional support and repeat on the side. Your legs will thank you.

Get onto all fours on your mat with your knees stacked above hips and wrists stacked above shoulders. When you're in position with the Bangles attached to your ankles, lift one knee off of the floor and straighten it behind you while bracing your core and squeezing your glutes. If it's comfortable, try to raise the leg as high as possible, feeling the burn in your glutes. Squeeze at the top and then lower the lifted leg back down to the floor keeping the leg straight. Try to not tap the floor with your foot in order to keep the squeeze going. Do as many reps as you'd like and then repeat on the other side. Let it burn.

Bangles can be attached to wrists for ankles for a nice walk or hike outside or on the treadmill. The choice is yours- make it your own!

Attach the Bangles to ankles and stand with your feet about hip-distance apart, with your arms at your sides. Slowly bring one of your heels to your butt to feel the hamstring muscle contract. Bring your heel back down and repeat with the other heel. Alternate between heels and build your speed if that’s what is comfortable for you. High-five!

Wear the Bangles on your wrists and stand with your feet in a shoulder width position. Windmill one arm overhead to extend and bend the side of your body until you feel a stretch all down the extended arm and side body. Repeat this movement to the other side and as many times as needed until you feel your sides uncrunch!
