Now the weather’s starting to take a turn, you may find your motivation to train starting to slip. But you shouldn’t let the darker days derail your progress. With just a resistance band a little space, and these eight simple upper exercises, you can still keep your fitness goals in check on those days you aren’t feeling up to braving the cold.
Resistance bands don’t always get the credit they deserve. While they might not build muscle quite like dumbbells or barbells – which make it easier to progressively increase weight – they can still create plenty of tension to challenge your muscles. After all, your body doesn’t know the difference between a band or a barbell; as long as you train with enough intensity, you’ll stimulate growth.
