Resistance Band Workout – Resistance is Futile

Learn how to get your workout on at home or on the go with lightweight resistance bands which helps add resistance to any exercise.

Tone at home or on the go with these resistance band workouts that work the entire body including arms, glutes and legs.

I’m extremely excited about today’s workout that I’m featuring on here today.  All of the exercises require resistance bands (except the jumping jacks) so it will help take your workout to the next level without needing hand weights.

This week’s playlist is an eclectic mix but banging none the less and will have you pushing yourself harder during this workout.

Now on to these workouts.  This did not include any hand weights and was solely body weight exercises so that was refreshing.  You can do this at home or in the gym so branch out and challenge yourself.  You won’t regret it.

Equipment needed:

  • Resistance bands
  • Towel
  • Water

    i don’t typically use resistance bands in my own workouts but definitely for things like assisted pull ups. My trainer would sometime use them with me for strengthening exercises.
