I wrote this note in response to Cyndie on the Butt Workout thread..
Cyndie was suggested using tubing for sqats.
I do squats with it too.
The best place i found to buy is at a medical supply store !!
You can buy latex tubing by the foot in different thickness.
There are many creative ways to use the tubing. You can easily buy enough to make a selection of toning tools.
I have round eye hooks running up both sides of a door frame in my kitchen .. (my door fram looks like a torture rack of sorts)
i can slip a piece of tubing with a big knot on one end through the eye hook and then work any body part from any angle with the other end. Actually i have attched clips to the ends on alot of tubes.
The end i hold has a small knot to keep it from slipping from my hand or i to use on my ankles... )
YOu can do just about anything with a bit of tubing.
Imagine attaching it at floor level and doing bicept curls.. or to your ankles and working from back, the side, the front.
Attach it over head and grip where you like to do chest or back work..
or stretch as you put your weight against it.
its great!!
i also have a piece of wood... with eye hooks that i stand on with tubing strung through it.......or a dowel with eye hooks i can thread with tubing and use over my shoulders.
my friends dont believe me when i tell them how they can do almost anything with the tubing ... I think its pretty safe. I learnt about this from my physical therapist.
