You don't need weights to build your upper body (or any part of your body in fact). Resistance bands are one of the best pieces of home gym equipment that you can own; they're affordable, compact and can increase the strength and size of every muscle group in your body. This upper body work targets your arms, shoulders and back and will only take you 15 minutes to complete. Just grab your resistance band, workout shoes and get ready to put in some solid effort.
As well as an effective tool for building strength and muscle, resistance bands are also excellent for functional fitness too. According to MiraFit: "There is a lot more movement involved when using resistance bands compared to more traditional style exercises. However, this is great for working your joints and allowing for more natural movements that you do in everyday life." Developing functional strength will not only benefit you in reaching your fitness goals, but it'll also ensure you stay fit and healthy during later life too.
