You want to build muscle, but don’t go to the gym or own a pair of dumbbells either, that’s cool, you actually don’t need either of these! Instead, you can reach for a resistance band. They’re affordable, versatile and research shows they can build muscle too; so they're one of the best pieces of home gym equipment you can own. Plus, this 12 minute workout is ideal for fitting in when you're pushed for time, but are still keen to work on developing full-body muscle.
A benefit of using resistance bands, as oppose to free weights, is the fact that your muscles are under constant tension throughout the exercise. What this means is your muscles are working harder, which is key when it key for hypertrophy (increasing the size of your muscles). They're also a lot more lower impact than weights, with a smaller risk of injury, therefore if you're just getting started on your fitness journey they're well worth considering
