Band Exercises
5 min jogging

Highlights:

 -lie on back with band under feet, toes pointing up. hold band with hands and keep legs straight as you engage core and lift up upper body into crunch
-knees on band, pull band up to the right side with right arm, palm down
-same with left

Low points:
-wrap band around ankles and try to walk sideways and regularly. my band was too long, so I kept tripping. also,  the band was uncomfortable as it would become rope-like as I walked.
