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!
I do like the figure 8 band for side steps and butt kicks always feel those
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.
It is really different and I love the combo
I like doing side steps, monster walks, clamshells with the resistance bands around my calves! Oh my hips…
Yes I def feel them on my hips when I do them correctly
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'
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.
I agree it can totally kick you butt (in a good way)
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
I think it’s time!!
What a great workout! It has been so pretty here too. Going to try this soon!
We have had a much better week of weather. Hope you try it out either inside or out
I haven’t worked out with resistance bands in a really long time – you can do so much with them. Thanks for the tips!
You really can and it’s fun to mix it up sometimes
Looks like I need to dust off my resistance bands and get to work!
I think so!!
Resistance bands are no joke. I did p90x using bands!
Wow that sounds intense!
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!
You could def do this one in your hotel room
Perfect! I have resistance bands, but am never really sure how to make a workout with them. <3
They are very versatile hope you give it a try
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.
Yes you can pretty much do anything with them!
Wow, I could see how these would definitely kick some booty! I’ll have to try!
kick some booty indeed!
I love a good resistance band workout! No gym required!
Exactly!!
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!
I do more free weights also but it’s fun to mix it up sometimes. The bands can be a really hard workout!
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!
Yes exactly! You can really kick it up a notch
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.
I totally agree and thanks so much!
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.
Absolutely super inexpensive and a great way to supplement your routine
I need this right about now! The weather here is perfect…. I feel like I’m wasting the day in the gym!
Ha happy to help 🙂
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!
thanks so much!
I have just started using resistant bands again and I absolutely love it!
they are so versatile too
Looks like I need to get some resistance bands!
I think so!
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 🙂
Let me know if you do!
It has been SO long since I have done a resistance band workout – this looks great…and pretty sweaty 🙂
sweaty indeed! 🙂
I love a workout that doesn’t require a lot of equipment 🙂
Yes me too!
I love resistance bands because you can take them anywhere!!! Great workout, thanks!
You can take them anywhere!
I just started resistance band training, I love it.
I’ve been lifting heavy weight for my whole life, this is totally different.
