I Added Resistance Bands to My Workouts—Turns Out, They're the Ultimate Strength Hack for Busy Mums

Freelance writer Rebecca Lawton trying resistance band workouts at home as a busy mum.

While I don't need any convincing on the benefits of strength training, as a busy mum-of-three, more often than not, finding the actual time to train is the challenge. Especially during the summer holidays (IYKYK), when I'm lucky if I manage to carve out small pockets of time to work out.

But when I was looking for a new way to fit strength training into my week, I realised resistance bands tick a lot of boxes - you can do them almost anywhere, you don't need lots of equipment, and they're convenient enough to fit into a busy lifestyle.
