5 Essential Resistance Band Exercises
1. Banded Squats
Target: Glutes, quads, hamstrings
Place the band under your feet and hold the handles at shoulder height. Squat down keeping your chest up and knees tracking over your toes. Push through your heels to return to standing.
Reps: 3 sets of 12-15
2. Chest Press:
Target: Chest, shoulders, triceps
Anchor the band behind you at chest height. Press forward with both hands, squeezing your chest at the peak. Control the return.
Reps: 3 sets of 10-12
3. Bent-Over Rows:
Target: Back, biceps, core
Step on the band with feet hip-width apart. Hinge at the hips and pull the handles toward your ribcage, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
Reps: 3 sets of 12-15
4. Lateral Raises:
Target: Shoulders
Stand on the band with feet together. Raise your arms out to the sides until parallel with the ground, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Reps: 3 sets of 12-15
5. Glute Bridges:
Target: Glutes, hamstrings, core
Place the band across your hips and lie on your back with knees bent. Drive through your heels to lift your hips, squeezing your glutes at the top.
