Total Body Resistance Band Workout

I love using resistance bands in my workouts because they are inexpensive, easy to store, and you can easily adjust the amount of resistance you need for each exercise. They are also perfect to throw in your suitcase while traveling in case you want to get in a quick workout while away from home.

 

 

 

Here is a resistance band workout that I like to incorporate into my workout routine. I like to bookmark my workout by running or walking a mile. This helps me get warmed up and ready to tackle the bands in the beginning, and loosen up those muscles at the end of the workout. If you are working out with bands in a gym, just hop on the treadmill. If you are at home, hit the pavement!

Resistance Band Workout

Run/Walk 1 Mile

Standing Bicep Curls X 12
  • Stand on the band with your legs apart and complete 12 bicep curls.


Glute Kickbacks X 12 (on each side)

  • Wrap the band around your feet starting with the band on the top of your feet then wrapping it under your feet and up through the middle (image below).
  • Grip the handles and position yourself on your hands and knees.
  • Push one foot back until your leg is straight. You should feel this in your hamstring and glute. Complete 12 reps on each leg.


Standing Overhead Tricep Extension X 12 (on each side)

  • Grip the handle in one hand and with the other hand hold the band near the middle. You may have to adjust this hand after you do a couple of them to adjust the resistance level.
  • With your hands behind your back extend your tricep so it is straight. Complete 12 reps on each arm.

  • Stand on the band and step to the side. Complete 12 steps on each leg.



Band Pull-Apart X 12

  • Wrap the bands around your hands to increase the resistance. The band should be in front of you along your chest.
