Happy Workout Wednesday! If you have been a reader for a while, you have probably noticed that I enjoy mixing up my strength workouts. I get bored if I do the same thing over and over again. Yesterday, it was just too nice outside to be stuck in the gym doing strength training. I opted to grab my 2 resistance bands and head outside for some sunshine and sweat. I came up with this do anywhere, full body resistance band workout.
All you need for this Full Body Resistance Band Workout is a figure 8 band and a long resistance band with 2 handles. Both come in all different resistance strengths to fit your needs. (Amazon affiliate) You can really do just about anything with these little bands!
Full Body Resistance Band Workout
Do each set three times for a butt kicking, sweaty workout you can do anywhere anytime. Pair with some cardio first and you’ve got quite a workout. There is really nothing you can’t do with them. Loop them around a tree or pole for extra fun options.
Tell me what are some of your favorite resistance band workouts?

I’ve never seen a figure 8 band like that before! I have a regular resistance band with handles that I use for some of the exercises you listed. Looks like a great workout!
Deborah Brooks says
I do like the figure 8 band for side steps and butt kicks always feel those
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
I love a resistance band workout. I don’t have dumbbells at home, so there you go. Plus, it is such a different type of resistance.
Deborah Brooks says
It is really different and I love the combo
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
I like doing side steps, monster walks, clamshells with the resistance bands around my calves! Oh my hips…
Deborah Brooks says
Yes I def feel them on my hips when I do them correctly
Debbie @ Coach Debbie Runs says
I love the flexibility of band workouts (<– See what I did there?). I use them a lot with my clients. Thanks for some new ideas'
Carla says
Confession. Once upon a time I look down on resistance band workouts. It wasn’t them. It was me 🙂 I had gotten all caught up in the iron game 🙂 and somehow thought it wasn’t a real workout… Until a friend came over with her bands and kicked my booty. Love this. Need this.
Deborah Brooks says
I agree it can totally kick you butt (in a good way)
gina says
So I have a resistance band – got it YEARS ago. It is currently hanging by my treadmill collecting dust. May have to get the cobwebs off. LOL
Deborah Brooks says
I think it’s time!!
SJulie @ Running in a Skirt says
What a great workout! It has been so pretty here too. Going to try this soon!
Deborah Brooks says
We have had a much better week of weather. Hope you try it out either inside or out
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
I haven’t worked out with resistance bands in a really long time – you can do so much with them. Thanks for the tips!
Deborah Brooks says
You really can and it’s fun to mix it up sometimes
Kimberly says
Looks like I need to dust off my resistance bands and get to work!
Deborah Brooks says
I think so!!
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
Resistance bands are no joke. I did p90x using bands!
Deborah Brooks says
Wow that sounds intense!
The Accidental Marathoner says
Such a great post! I don’t have any specific workouts, but I travel at least once a month, and I always through my resistance bands in my bag in case the location or weather don’t allow for any other type of activity. I just kind of wing it in my hotel room!
Deborah Brooks says
You could def do this one in your hotel room
Kerri Olkjer says
Perfect! I have resistance bands, but am never really sure how to make a workout with them. <3
Deborah Brooks says
They are very versatile hope you give it a try
Jenn says
Resistance bands are really so incredibly versatile. I love using them on leg lifts and clamshells for hip strengthening. I also like using them for bicep curls.
Deborah Brooks says
Yes you can pretty much do anything with them!
Rachel says
Wow, I could see how these would definitely kick some booty! I’ll have to try!
Deborah Brooks says
kick some booty indeed!
Carmy says
I love a good resistance band workout! No gym required!
Deborah Brooks says
Exactly!!
Kimberly Hatting says
Years ago (like in 2001), I bought a kit called Gym on the Go…it came with a video and a set of resistance bands…and I was hooked. I was intimidated by the gym scene and had no clue how to use hand weights (let alone a barbell..YIKES!), but the bands were amazing. Now days, I do more free weight-based strength training, but I do dig out the bands now and then. Thanks for sharing all of these moves…looks like a solid routine!
Deborah Brooks says
I do more free weights also but it’s fun to mix it up sometimes. The bands can be a really hard workout!
Sarah says
I remember the first time I used resistance bands, it isn’t as easy as it seems, especially with the right band. Looks like a great workout!
Deborah Brooks says
Yes exactly! You can really kick it up a notch
Chrissy says
I get bored easily too and need to change things up often. Resistance bands are great workouts. They challenge your muscles in such a different way than regular hand weights. Great workout.
Deborah Brooks says
I totally agree and thanks so much!
Elaine @myRUNexperiment says
I use mine for added resistance when I do my hip strength exercises i.e. Clamshells, leg lifts, donkey kicks. They are a great addition to your home workout equipment.
Deborah Brooks says
Absolutely super inexpensive and a great way to supplement your routine
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I need this right about now! The weather here is perfect…. I feel like I’m wasting the day in the gym!
Deborah Brooks says
Ha happy to help 🙂
Sandra Laflamme says
I don’t do much with resistance bands although I suppose I should. I mainly used resistance bands for PT when rehabbing my foot and then my back. Your workout does sound great!
Deborah Brooks says
thanks so much!
Ilka says
I have just started using resistant bands again and I absolutely love it!
Deborah Brooks says
they are so versatile too
Christina Bauer says
Looks like I need to get some resistance bands!
Deborah Brooks says
I think so!
Esther says
It is been a long time since I have done any resistance band training! This post is making me want to pull my bands out and get a sweaty workout on today.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Let me know if you do!
Annmarie says
It has been SO long since I have done a resistance band workout – this looks great…and pretty sweaty 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
sweaty indeed! 🙂
Akaleistar says
I love a workout that doesn’t require a lot of equipment 🙂
Deborah Brooks says
Yes me too!
Toni says
I love resistance bands because you can take them anywhere!!! Great workout, thanks!
Deborah Brooks says
You can take them anywhere!
Blake says
I just started resistance band training, I love it.
I’ve been lifting heavy weight for my whole life, this is totally different.
