One resistance band, 15 minutes and these six exercises for a stronger back and arms

Man doing resistance band workout in living room

We love a resistance band workout here at T3. Why? Because not only is this simple piece of equipment ideal for helping you gain lean muscle and building strength, but the best resistance bands are also cheap and easy to store — they're the perfect piece of home gym equipment. If you’re pressed for time, but are after a speedy upper body session, then this 15-minute banded workout will do nicely.

You’ll also be pleased to know that research has shown that resistance bands are just as effective as using a pair of dumbbells when it comes to strength training. But, they offer lots of other benefits too. According to fitness brand, MiraFit, resistance bands can be used to improve joint mobility, rehabilitation exercises and incorporated into weight training to make it more challenging. Also, if you’ve ever wanted to master a pull-up, a resistance band is a key piece of equipment to help you.
