Getting that bikini-ready bod, doesn’t have to mean spending a ton of time and money at the gym! A simple way to start getting ready for swimsuit season is by picking up a resistance band! The beauty of these bands is their versatility and ease. They basically take up no space at all, and they come in many different weights and strengths. This makes them the perfect training tool for every skill level from beginners to experts! So, get ready for a full body workout in the comfort of your own living room!
I reached out to health and fitness expert, Jensen Brent, for his best resistance band exercises. Jensen is the Director of Training and Owner of The Academy of Sports Performance and has trained thousands of athletes and general fitness enthusiasts during the last 10 years. These are his top picks:
1. 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! These should be done for four sets of ten.
2. Bent Over Rows
Do these with the band anchored under your feet. These will work your entire back as well as shoulders and biceps. This is a huge bang for your buck exercise. These should be done for three sets of twenty.
