Valband Exercises

By Shawn Horwood On March 5, 2010 1 COMMENT

Here are 6 exercises that can be performed with the Valband:

Valband One Arm Row

Hold the Valband in one hand straight out in front of you. Grab the other end of the Valband with your other hand and pull it towards your waist. Return to the starting position slowly.

Valband Two Arm Row

This is an easy exercise and is for beginners or those recovering from an injury. It’s just a slight bit of resistance, nothing really hard.

And yes, this was done in my laundry room (that is the furnace in the background). It’s the only doorknob in my house that has room to do the exercise & get a camera set up.

Hook one of the Valband around a doorknob or another object that won’t move. Grab the other end of the Valband with both hands and pull it towards your chest. Return to the starting position.

Valband Side Step

Start by standing with your

First, if you don’t have a Valslide yet, you can get one here: http://www.buyvalslide.com

And now for the finalĀ 5 Valslide exercises in this series (PlusĀ 1) :

Valslide Spiderman Push Up:

This is just an insane push up. The spiderman part is lifting one leg up and pulling your knee towards your elbow as your let yourself down, and putting it back to the starting position as you push yourself back up. That in and of itself is a pretty good workout.

Now, stick a Valslide under the opposite hand of the leg that you are lifting and as you let yourself down, slide your hand out as far in front of you as you can and slide it back to the starting position as you push yourself up. Absolutely

Valslide Exercises Part 4

Here are the first 3 parts in case you missed them:

Valslide Exercises Part 1 | Valslide Exercises Part 2 | Valslide Exercises Part 3

Valslide Push Up Fly (Both Hands)

This is the same as the push up fly exercise, but doing the “fly” with both hands instead of just one. It’s more challenging and a good step up once you’ve mastered the regular push up fly.

Valslide Modified Push Up Fly (Both Hands)

Same as the Valslide push up fly exercise (both hands) but made easier by performing the exercise on your knees rather than your toes.

Valslide Modified Circular Push Up Fly

A more advanced version of the push up fly, this exercise is performed by moving your “fly” arm in a circular motion as you perform the push up, rather than simply sliding out and back in. With the modified version, you perform this exercise on your knees, rather than your toes.

Valslide Exercises Part 2

And here are 5 new exercises for you (be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think!)

Valslide Reverse Lunge:

The Valslide Reverse Lunge exercise is simple. Stand with feet together, placing the ball of one of your feet on a Valslide. Slide your foot back until your planted leg is at a 90 degree angle. Slide your foot back to the starting position. Throughout the lunge, focus on using the planted to let your body down and push yourself back up. The sliding leg is just going along for the ride.

Valslide Side Lunge:

To perform the Valslide Side Lunge, stand with feet shoulder width apart, one foot flat on the Valslide. Slide your foot out to the side, keeping your planted leg vertical but allow it to bend

Valslide Exercises Part 2

In my last post I shared 5 videos showing you some of the Valslide exercises you can perform. You can see those videos here: Valslide Exercises Part 1

I’ve got another 4 videos for you. My favorite is the Bodysaw exercise.

Valslide Push Up Fly

The push up fly exercise only uses one Valslide, and it helps work your chest and shoulder more on the hand that is using the Valslide. Start in a regular push up position & as you lower yourself, slide the Valslide out and then as you push yourself back up pull the Valslide back in to the original position. Do the reps and then switch which hand is using the Valslide.

Valslide Modified Push Up Fly

The modified push up fly is easier than the push up fly. You simply do the push up from your knees rather than your toes.

Valslide Jack-Knife

The jack-knife exercise is a fairly simple one. Start
