COVID19 has meant that many of us have had to adapt our training due to a change in environment and equipment that is available to us. In the video below I have put together an upper body exercise program that incorporates all upper body movements using just bands. In the video I am using the Yellow and Orange Ironedge 41 inch bands (these would be classed as light and medium resistance).
Upper body band workout – 1-2 bands & 1 anchor point at most – 3-6 sets each exercise – 8-15 reps per set- consider time under tension or isometric holds if band resistance is low
Program
1. Lateral raise
2. Anterior raise
3. Pull apart
4. Face pull
5. Overhead press
6. Anterior press
7. Seated row
8. Bicep curl
9. Tricep extension
9. Pallof press
If you can get your hands on some bands, then be sure to give these a go.
