Band Workout

Perform each exercise for 12–15 reps and repeat the circuit 2–3 times for a complete session.

Anchor the band behind you (e.g., to a door or pole). Hold both ends and press forward like a push-up motion, working your chest, shoulders, and triceps..

Sit down or stand with the band anchored in front of you. Pull the band toward your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together to target your back muscles.

Place the band around your thighs, just above the knees. Perform squats while pushing your knees slightly outward. This adds resistance and activates your glutes more effectively.

Stand on the band with both feet and hold the handles. Curl your arms up slowly, keeping your elbows close to your body.

With the band around your ankles, step side to side to strengthen your hips and glutes.
