1 Road Warrior Exercises

2 Exercise Tube 2 Tube Resistance Beginner (thin tube) = Light resistance Intermediate (medium tube) = Moderate resistance Experienced (thick tube) = Heavy resistance Foot Positioning Medium Wide Staggered

3 Exercise Tube Safety Consult your medical provider before using if you have medical concerns. Maintain neutral body posture for all exercises: contract abs, relax shoulders down and slightly back. Keep knees slightly bent. Avoid exposing the tubing to rough or abrasive surfaces. Check tubes for excessive wear; discard worn or cracked tubes. Move in a slow and controlled manner, breathing with each exercise. Warm up the body by mimicking all exercises without the tube. Begin with 8 – 10 repetitions for each exercise. Graduate to a higher tube resistance when you can easily perform 10 repetitions. If unable to safely perform 8 repetitions, use a lower tension tube or a narrower foot stance to decrease resistance. Increase resistance by widening foot stance. 3
