This is the first article in a series dealing with home weight loss exercises.
I will show you how you can be active while at home in order to tone muscle and burn calories with the use of resistance bands. Resistance bands are perfect for the home because you can perform a wide variety of exercises anytime and they do not take up any room in your house for storage. In addition to being great to have around the house, after you learn a few exercises with the resistance bands you can use them anywhere you go – on vacation, on business trips, even just to have at the office for a quick stretch and energy session.

Exercise #1: Standing Bicep Curls

I think that the bicep curl is the simplest move that you can do with a resistance band. The procedure for doing a bicep curl is as follows:

1. Stand up with your back straight and kneed very slightly bent
2. Stand on top of the resistance band such that the lengths are equal for each arm
3. Grab the handles
4. With you arms relaxed, slowly curl your biceps until your palms are nearly touching your shoulders
5. Slowly bring your arms back to the starting position

Depending on the resistance of the band and your level of fitness, you want to repeat the move about 15-30 times then take about a 2 minute break and go again. In total, you want to aim for 5 sets. Make sure to do the moves slowly! If you do this consistently, you will notice that your arms will get toned and defined.

In addition to this exercise, I recommend that you take Proactol for weight loss. Proactol is a new doctor approved and clinically proven all natural weight loss supplement that can help you lose up to 6 pounds per week!
