Forget the gym—here's how to build full-body strength with just a resistance band

There's no doubt that a gym membership has its advantages. Access to a wealth of equipment means you can really challenge your body and more easily follow the principles of progressive overload. But home workouts are more convenient, more affordable and you'll still get plenty of benefits from the time you spend training. And with just a resistance band you can replicate many common gym-based movements.

Coaching duo Zoë and Emily recently shared a routine on Instagram that shows how to do just that. Demonstrating both resistance band and gym (using dumbbells and a cable machine) versions of each exercise, the routine is a great way to build full-body strength, wherever you are.
