It is easy to plan a resistance band full body workout because there are so many resistance band exercises that you can choose from! In our full body workout with resistance band videos, you can see exactly how to perform each exercise that we describe below.
Kneeling Squat
Kneel on the floor with one end of a resistance band looped around your neck, and the other end around your shins. The band will come in front of the chest and then travel behind the body. Begin in an upright position so that your knees, hips, and shoulders are in alignment. Slowly push your Glutes back so that you are almost sitting on your heels. Then drive the hips forward to return to the starting position.
Pull Apart
While standing, hold one end of the resistance band in each hand. Your arms will be extended straight out in front of the body, with your hands in line with the shoulders. Slowly begin to pull the band apart by moving your hands apart towards either side of the body. Bring your hands back to the starting position and repeat the movement. Remember that your hands should always be level with the shoulders.

In a standing position, loop one end of the resistance band underneath both feet, and the remaining end around your neck. Slowly begin to perform the Good Morning by pushing the hips back and leaning the torso forwards until it is horizontal. Return to the starting position by driving the hips forwards and repeat the movement.
