One resistance band and this floor workout to strengthen your entire upper body

Woman sat on the floor doing a resistance band arm workout

If you’re having a bit of a lazy day where you don’t really want to do much, the chances are you probably don’t want to do exercise, either. But there's no need to skip arm day, especially when there are workouts like this around. Not only will it take you less than 20 minutes using just a resistance band, but it’s also a floor workout, so you can still relax and take things easy(ish).

Just because this workout is floor-based, though and involves a resistance band, it doesn’t mean it won’t be effective – quite the opposite, actually. Using a resistance band is a type of strength training, as your body’s muscles have to overcome a type of resistance and the harder they work, the stronger you become. There are so many benefits of strength training, from speeding up your metabolism to helping you age better. So, although this workout may be a little 'easier' than your usual upper body workout, it still has plenty of benefits.
