I’ll take leg day over arm day any time. Usually, that means a barbell, dumbbells, and the leg press at the gym. But I don’t always have time to get there, so when I found a lower body workout that only needs a chair and a resistance band, I had to see if it could actually deliver.
The nine-move routine comes from fitness trainer Natalie Wilson and is designed to be a home workout that suits all fitness levels. It involves using a mini loop band, which adds resistance without putting too much stress on the joints. This makes it a great option if you are recovering from an injury and have your physio's approval for banded exercises. Or, if you simply prefer a lower impact style of training.
If you don't already own a mini band and want to try this routine, our guide to the best resistance bands has recommendations.
