One piece of equipment that you can take everywhere, buy on a budget, and get a killer workout with are resistance bands. You could be the grandma next door or the beef cake from the gym, no matter what your level, resistance bands are can give you an awesome workout!
Our Resistance Band Recommendations For Beginner to Advanced
I always recommend getting a set of bands. You will need one for things like shoulders and tricep exercises, one heavy band for muscles like back and legs and one for biceps and abs. Having 3 different resistance levels also allows you to advance. If you are looking to add muscle try using the resistance bands WITH weights for added burn, and increased control.
Pick one exercise for each area of your body and 2-3 for your legs. This usually ends up being about 7-8 exercises. Do these exercises 2-3 sets with 12 -20 repetitions. If you are looking to gain muscle then change the repetitions to 6-10 repetitions, 2 -3 sets.
Take your resistance bands to the park, to work, put them in your car, and get your friends to join in on the fun. Print these resistance band exercises out and put them in your gym bag, work bag and car. You can get your workout on the run and maintain your girlish figure on a budget!
