Strengthen your upper body with just a resistance band and this trainer’s five exercises

Woman does upper body resistance band workout.

Don’t have room for a set of weights at home? Try resistance bands instead. These versatile training tools allow you to build muscle from the comfort of your home but can be easily stored away. What’s more, in our investigations into resistance bands vs weights, we found that you can actually achieve similar strength gains with either tool.  

Personal trainer Andrew Watkinson of Fitagain has put this workout together exclusively for Fit&Well, which uses a looped resistance band. Beginners should opt for a lighter resistance band when they do it, but you can increase the challenge with a heavier option if you need to.
