How to set up your booty bands

 

 

Step 1: Wrap a black neoprene strap around your thigh. Position it approximately 5cm above the knee - not too high, not too low.

Step 2: Ensure the AURA EVE label faces the front.

Step 3: Check that the silver rings are sitting on the outside of your thigh.

Step 4: Check the neoprene band is sitting comfortably on your thigh and is not too tight or loose. Adjust if necessary.

Step 5: Repeat steps above for your other leg. Ensure both neoprene straps are parallel to each other and sitting at the same height on your thighs.

Step 6: There are 2 x different lengths of resistance bands per set – one slightly shorter and one slightly longer. Begin with the longer resistance band.

Step 7: Clip in the longer resistance band on the top (forward) silver loops so it sits across your thighs.

Step 8: Clip in the shorter resistance band on the back (behind) loops so it sits across your hamstrings. 

Step 9: Check the resistance bands are secure and won't unclip during your workout.

Step 10: Start BOOTYBUILDING!
