Do you want a workout you can take on the go? The summer season is a popular time to travel. But being on holiday doesn’t mean you have to take a vacation from your healthy habits, too.
Whether you’re spending time at the Shore, road-tripping to the Poconos, or jet-setting overseas, you’ll want a pump-up routine that’s quick, convenient, and accessible. And one of the most portable pieces of exercise equipment you should never leave home without is a versatile resistance band.
Here are my three favorite total body resistance band exercises to pack with you on your summer excursion. You will need a long resistance band and a looped one. Both can be purchased from Amazon, Target or Walmart.Begin by sitting down and wrapping your long resistance band around the center of the feet so it is equal in length on each end.
Extend the arms to the sides of the body at shoulder height. As you stand from your lunge pose, bring the arms together until they are parallel. Repeat this sequence 10 times, then switch legs.Position the looped band on the legs, right above the knees. It should be smooth and even.
