Can’t go to the gym? Don’t have access to a pair of dumbbells? No worries! You don’t actually need these if you want to build strength and muscle. In fact, in just 20 minutes you can improve your entire body composition using just a single pull-up resistance band, so grab yourself an exercise mat and give this fast full-body workout a go.
There’s often a misconception that if you want to build strength and muscle, that you need to be lifting weights – whether that be using a pair of dumbbells or an Olympic barbell and weight plates. But this just isn’t true. In fact, a 2019 study found that training with a resistance band actually provided similar strength gains to training with dumbbells and weight machines. So, there's no need to panic if you can't get to the gym or don't have access to this type of equipment.
