11 Resistance Band Moves for a Total Body Workout

Whether you're new to fitness or are looking for an added challenge to your routine, resistance bands are what you need! This piece of equipment is great for everyone because it gives you the opportunity to make it as challenging as you want. Need something a little harder? Just make your band tighter!


Good Mornings: Stand on the band with your feet spread shoulder width apart. Place the band behind your neck. Start in a bent over position with a straight back and stand to an upright position. These are great for building strong hamstrings, glutes, and low back. These are the foundations to a strong, healthy and good looking body!

Squat with Overhead Press: These are done with the band under your feet, standing straight up with arms bent. Squat down holding the handles or ends of the band and stand up, moving arms to a straight position. Overhead work is great for strengthening your core and using a band reduces the risk of the injury because you’re not holding heavy weights over your head.

Kneeling Glute Kickbacks with Resistance Band: Place the resistance band around one foot and assume an all-fours position. Kick back with the foot that the resistance band is looped around. Slowly lower your leg back down to starting position, controlling the band and being sure not to let it snap back to place. The use of bands with these makes it much easier to continually alter the difficulty, so they work for both beginners and advanced trainees.

Lunge with Overhead Tricep Extension: Hold the resistance band with one hand above your head. Grab it with the other hand behind your back. Step into a lunge with the same side of your body that is holding the resistance band overhead (if you are holding it overhead with the right hand, the right leg lunges forward). As you lower, pull the resistance band taut with the overhead hand. As you come out of the lunge, bend your elbow to release the tension on the resistance band.
