Full Body Resistance Band Workout

Resistance bands can be a great way to add a bit of extra power into your workouts, ensuring that you are able to tighten and tone from the comfort of your home. No matter where you live and how much space you have available, the resistance bands can make it easier to get the good workout that you need. 

When you are ready to get the best workout possible with your resistance bands, you want to get the full body into the mix. Some of the exercises that you can do to receive a full body resistance band workout includes:

Bicep Curls 

This one will be a one-arm bicep curl for you to work on each bicep at a time. You can switch arms and do a few repetitions of each to see how this works for you. The steps that you can use to make this effective are:

• Have the feet shoulder-width apart and the feet need to be positioned firmly on the resistance band. 
• Hold onto one side of the band while keeping the other end beneath the feet. Hold the band with the arm in front, facing out. 
• Curl the bicep. You can do this by bending the elbow and lifting the band to the shoulder. 
• Lower the bicep and repeat for 10 to 15 repetitions. 
• Change to the other arm and repeat.

Fly

The next exercise in this workout is going to be the fly. This is a good option to build up some of those chest muscles. You can increase or decrease the resistance based on how tight you make the band. To do this one, simply: 

• Hold the band at chest height, keep the band behind you.
• Hold firmly to the band in both hands and then extend the arms to the sides, making them level with the chest. 
• Bring the arms together, allowing them to go out in front of the body. 
• Move the arms back to the starting position and then repeat for 10 to 15 repetitions. 

Front Squat 

Squats are going to be great for the glutes and leg muscles. This is a good variation of the classic squat that will help you get some good results. Some of the steps that you can use to do this workout includes:

• Stand with the feet shoulder-width apart and one end of the resistance band right under both feet. 
• Adopt the squat position. You can bend the knees for this and lower the body to the ground. 
• Loop the other side of the band over the front of your shoulders, keeping the arms bent at right angles to help hold the bands in place. 
• Raise the body up to the standing position before lowering back into the squat position, keeping your back straight the whole time. 
• Repeat this for 10 to 15 repetitions. 

Side-Lying Hip Abduction

This is a great workout to help you work on your external hip rotation and build up the hip muscles more than anything else. And you get to lay down on your side while you are doing it. Some of the steps to help with this one include:

• Lie down on your side and have the knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Keep one arm stretched out beneath your head to help with some support. 
• Have the resistance band looped around both thighs and then raise the top leg away from the other. 
• Repeat for ten repetitions and then turn around to do the other leg as well. 

Glute Bridge

It is time to move on to the glute muscles and use the resistance band to help get it done. The glute bridge is a great way to help you build up your glute muscles while defining your posterior at the same time. To do this exercise, simply:

• Lie on the floor and keep your knees bent at right angles. 
• Loop the resistance band around both of your thighs, leaving it right above the knees. 
• Keep the feet firmly planted on the ground before raising the hips to the ceiling, going as high as you can go. 
• Repeat the movements for at least 10 to 15 repetitions. 

Splitter

This is a good one that will get to the chest muscles again while also working on the shoulders. This can be a tough area to work on, but the resistance bands can make it a little bit easier. Some of the steps that you can use to do the splitter includes:

• Stand so that the feet are shoulder-width apart. 
• Hold onto the resistance band with both hands and then raise the arms to be up at shoulder height. 
• Grip the resistance band firmly and then extend both arms from the chest, allowing them to be outstretched so they line up with the shoulders. 
• Loosen the arms and bring the resistance band back to starting position. 
• Repeat for 10 to 15 repetitions, changing the intensity if you need. 

Lateral Walk

This is a good option to use to help work the legs and improve your aerobic fitness. It may take a bit of time to work on the balance with this one, but it can be great on the legs. Some of the steps to use for this one include:

• Place your band around both the thighs, placing it right above the knees. 
• Stand with the feet together, bending the knees just a little bit. 
• Raise the left leg and swing it out to the left-hand side. 
• Raise the right leg and bring it in line with the left. 
• Repeat in one direction until you hit the other side of the room. Then switch directions, allowing the other leg to do the work.
