Band Together for that Summer Body
Working out is not just physical, it's mental too. It's a way to let go of built up stress because during your exercises your body releases endorphins, which in return triggers a positive feeling in the body. We can all agree that we like to feel good but what we like even more than feeling good, is LOOKING better!
Every New Year we all set a resolution to either eat healthier, sign up for that new gym membership, make better self-care choices so that in return we can lose that that extra body weight, put on muscle, have clear skin or to just feel sexy and confident in our own bodies. We know what our end goal is but we don't always know where or how to start.
Life can get busy and our days pass us by but putting ourselves and our health first should always be priority. I know that we can't always make it to the gym or maybe our finances don't allow us to commit to a membership but fitting in a daily 30-minute work out can be done anywhere! My preferred workouts to do at home and outdoors are my resistance band circuits. All you need is your body, bands, indoor or outdoor space and you're ready to get going!
Below I have written out one of my circuit training workouts that is guaranteed to get your heart rate up and closer to your health goals.
Upper Body:
Curl Your Biceps- sit down, straight back.
Bring the band up one leg all the way to mid thigh (like you're putting on pants in one leg). With the same side arm, grab the band and make a 90 degree angle with your elbow touching the side of your body. Curl up and when you bring it down do not go passed the 90 degree angle.
3 sets of 12, alternate arms between sets
