My favorite time to do resistance band workouts is when I am traveling. Resistance bands are extremely inexpensive. You can order one on Amazon or buy one at most major stores (Target, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, etc.). They take up almost no space and add virtually no weight to your bag. This workout will tone your whole body in less than 20 minutes. It’s perfect for doing in a hotel room, on the beach, or anywhere in between.
Deadlifts (booty): Wrap band around feet to increase resistance. Bend over so that band is lax. Slowly roll up to standing position, keeping back straight throughout entire exercise. Repeat x20.
Bent Over Rows (arms, back): Keeping band wrapped around feet, bend over with arms extended to 45 degrees. Row back and squeeze shoulder blades together. Repeat x20.
Squats with Bicep Curl (legs, booty, arms): Keeping band wrapped around feet, simultaneously squat back and down as you curl your arms. Repeat x20.
Low to High Woodchops (arms, abs): Place resistance band under left foot and lunge to the right, holding band down to left side. Chop upwards across your body. Repeat x10 on each side.
Glute Kick Backs (booty): Step on resistance band with both feet. Lift and bend right leg. Press backwards x20. Repeat on other side.
Lateral Raises (shoulders): Step on resistance band with both feet, shoulder width apart. Cross the handles of the band so that it makes an “X.” Raise arms out to side and hold for 1 second before releasing. Repeat x10.
Side Shuffles (sides of booty and thighs): Hold band in “X” shape as with lateral raises. Pull arms up to increase resistance. Slowly step to one side and “shuffle” across entire mat. Move back in opposite direction. Continue back and forth 10x.
Repeat entire sequence 2-3 times.
