When I work with clients who are new to strength training, travel a lot, or don't have time to go to the gym, I love to recommend resistance bands. They are an easy, accessible workout tool that you can use anywhere — which is especially helpful this time of year when many of us spend a lot of time traveling.
For the lower body and core exercises you will use a looped resistance band. Bicep curl Hold one handle in each hand. With your feet hips-width apart, step on the center of the band with both feet. Slightly bend your knees and pull your abs in. Keeping your upper arms glued to your sides, pull the band up toward your shoulders into a bicep curl, then release back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times. Bent over reverse fly Hold one handle in each hand.
