Free Tutorial: Using Resistance Bands

Sculpt and strengthen the lower body with Resistance Bands, led by STOTT PILATES® Master Instructor Trainer Laureen DuBeau. This tutorial uses Mat and Reformer exercises with the Fabric Flex-Band Loop to enhance activation through the front, side, and back of the hips.

You’ll explore supine, prone, quadruped, kneeling, and standing variations that challenge hip stability, coordination, and muscular endurance. On the Reformer, the addition of spring tension alongside elastic resistance creates layered intensity while maintaining alignment and control of the torso and arms.

Ideal for instructors seeking fresh programming ideas or movers looking to intensify lower-body work, this session demonstrates how a simple prop can elevate familiar exercises into a dynamic, effective conditioning flow.
