Enjoy this free workout routine with the best resistance band exercises you can do from the comfort of your home!

This year has been hard. Some of us have been in complete lockdown, and with gyms closing down, finding the time, place and room for exercising has not been easy. But there is something we all can do from the safe comforts of our homes. We can do home workouts, and with BARA’s Pastel Resistance Bands 3-pk, you can too!

The Pastel Resistance Bands 3-pk

The Pastel Resistance Bands 3-pk includes everything you need for a full-body workout from home. This set of three different levels of resistance is perfect for helping you perform better while doing heavy exercises and giving a better glute burn. It's also great for helping you perform your squats, glute bridge, deadlift or similar exercises more correctly.

Use it for home workouts or bring it to the gym. The anti-slip design makes it stay put during exercise and it feels comfortable against your skin. Cotton Resistance Bands are extremely durable.

The bag is included to make sure you can take them with you wherever you go and make sure you're ready for a workout anytime!

Now, get ready for a full resistance bands workout!

How to Squat With a Resistance Band:

Muscle groups:

Butt
Both sides of your thigh
Hamstrings
Groin
Hip flexors
Calves

Approximate exercise duration: 40 sec per set + 1 min. break (between sets) x 3 = 5 minutes.

Choose the resistance band that best fits your fitness level. If you’re a beginner, start with the lightest one. The longest band is the band with less resistance.
Put the resistance band right above your knees.
Stand upright with a shoulder-width distance between your feet.
Go downwards with your seat, slowly, like you’re about to sit on a chair. While doing this, pull your knees steady, slightly outwards. Make sure the weight is on your heels. You can keep your arms out for balance.
Stay in this position for a second or two before getting back to the start position standing up.
Repeat this 12 times in a set of 3 (12 x 3). 1-minute break between sets.
Remember to breathe and you're allowed to take a break if you’re burned out.

How to Deadlift with Resistance Band:

Muscle groups:

Glutes

Approximate exercise duration: 40 sec per set + 1 min. break (between sets) x 3 = 5 minutes.

Choose the resistance band that best fits your fitness level. If you’re a beginner, start with the lightest one. The longest band is the band with less resistance.
Find a good grip on the resistance band, step on to the middle. Place your feet at shoulder-width with toes pointing forward. Tighten your core and keep your chest up.
Slightly bend your knees and drive your hips back. NB: NOT lower than your knees! Keep your chest up. This is the starting position.
Forcefully contract your glutes, driving them forward. Do not just lean back. Your glutes should be fully contracted. Pause then return to the starting position.
Repeat this 12 times in a set of 3 (12 x 3). 1-minute break between sets.
Remember to breathe and you're allowed to take a break if you’re burned out.
