Resistance exercise using a kickboard

Kickboards give another type of resistance. Stand up straight with the legs comfortably apart and tighten the abdominal muscles. Extend the right arm and hold the kickboard on each end.

Keeping the left elbow close to the body, move the kickboard toward the center of the body. Return to the starting position and repeat 12 to 15 times or until you're tired. Then extend the left arm and repeat the exercise on the other side.
