Resistance Band Workout: back, chest, abs
This is the first part of the “you-don’t-need-no-gym-to-get-your-workout-on” series.
In this video, I will show you how to tone your back, chest, and abs using only a resistance band.
Ignore the fact that I happen to be in a gym and focus on the use of one item: the resistance band. Resistance bands hit your muscles in a way that dumbbells cannot. They encourage lean muscle development by using gravity and increased force to add extra mileage to your workout. Oh, and resistance bands travel well.
You can use a resistance band anywhere. Hang it from the monkey bars at the playground, wrap it around a tree branch in your backyard, or anchor it to your bedroom door and exercise naked in front of your significant other. (That tip about spicing up a relationship was provided to you free of charge.)
Seriously, if you aren’t using resistance bands, you are missing out.
I do the following resistance band workout twice a week:
1. Bent-Over Pulldowns. 20 reps. 10 slow, 10 as fast as you can.
2. Chest Fly. 20 reps. 10 slow, 10 fast.
3. Decline Ab Twists. 20 reps. Fast.
Repeat 4 times without a break.
Enjoy. And hydrate
