Biceps Curls with Suspension Bands

Great way to strengthen your biceps.  The guy on the left is showing the starting position, the girl on the right is how you should look at the end of the curl.  If it is too easy, scoot your feet forward so you are closer to parallel to the floor.  

Chest Press with Suspension Bands

This is an example of the chest press with a set of suspension bands.  I don't know who the guy is or what type of bands he's using, but there are multiple companies that make the suspension bands.  Prices will vary.
It looks like he has it anchored to the ceiling, but you can just as easily put it over a door (that is closing) and do the same exercise.

Muscles being worked: abdominals, trunk stabilizers, pectorals, triceps, and deltoids.

Space Saving Tip

There is a relatively new piece of equipment called "Suspension Bands" that are a must-have for the space-saving home gym.  They use your body weight for resistance and provide a great full-body workout.  The system can be used outside or easily put over a door.  They are extremely space-efficient and cost-efficient.  They can be safely and effectively used by the novice and experienced exerciser.
Over the next couple weeks, I will post some images of some easy exercises to do with these and what muscle groups they are working.
