A set of the best resistance bands<\/a> offers one of the most effective ways to get a workout in anywhere, anytime. I’ve devised this 30-minute session to give your body a much-needed break from weights, while targeting the muscles in a unique way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike free weights (which should still be an integral part of any workout plan), bands provide progressive resistance, meaning the weight increases during the concentric portion of the move, forcing the muscles to grow and adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an ideal workout to incorporate into your weekly plan when you\u2019re on the go, or whenever you need to switch things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bands are versatile and portable. I find them to be great for maintenance when you don\u2019t have time to get to the gym or you\u2019re on the road \u2013 you can use them literally anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
