Squats are one option to work arms, legs and back muscles. Simply wrap the exercise band around a pole.

Nail said it's important to use proper form to ensure safety and effectiveness.

You can use a tree to replace a wall for a wall squat and use the exercise band as tension for an arm press or chest fly.

Using the exercise band builds lean muscle, Nail said.
