The best exerices for resistance bands I’ve seen are the free workouts from Bodylastics. There are new workouts posted daily. All you have to do is sign up for an account and you’ll get access to all of them. I have an account and they do not spam you.
You’ll find muscle building workouts, toning and strengthening, hard core cardio, an awesome ab workout show called Eight Pack, Pilates workouts, kickboxing, and even a general workout show for teens.

Dr jillyhannahfan prescribes another lifestyle change:
Get rid of all the junk in your house, no fast food, running, jogging, walking, dancing, skipping, yoga, pilates, it’s all good for you, and you should be getting at least 1 hour and 90 minutes of excercise a day! here’s your new grocery list:
low or no fat yogurt
carotts
celery
cucumber
pepper-all colours
tomatoes
chicken(frozen, uncooked)
steak (uncooked)
Skim milk
Eggs
Broccoli
Bannanas
Strawberries
Potatoes
Rasberries
Blueberries
apples
Weight watchers cereal
Oatmeal
Salad leaves
Whole wheat/whole grain bread
margarine
almonds
low fat mayonaise
low fat cheese
I think this’ll do you. For lunch you can make a sandwich or a salad and have an apple with some yogurt and then for snack have a handfull of almonds and 2 huge glasses of water. Have 3 milk products a day and get a canadian healthy food guide off the internet so you can match it to your activites, weight, height, age etc. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.
After you lose the weight, fat. etc.
here’s a workout:
150 crunches
100 situps
1.5 minutes of criss cross (shoulder blades off the ground, touch your left elbow to right knee switch,switch, switch etc. and do for 2 minutes as fast as you can and increase amount of sec/min each day)
100 crunches with feet in the air (legs crossed)
On your elbows (hold your upper body on your elbows and have legs in the air, cross legs over each other switching do for 2 minutes, increase amount each day)
50 pushups(do ten rest ten rest ten rest etc.)
100 crunches (again)
10 zombie crunches ( crunches with arms to the front)
GL! (good luck)
Also with resistance bands you can do a spine twist :
both feet on resistance band, twist legs to the right and upper body to the left, switch, you have to really use your core to control your legs and NOT count on the resistance band!
