This upper-body exercise snack is the perfect way to strengthen your arms, shoulders and back—and it only takes 10 minutes

When we’re short on time and energy it can be tempting to skip a workout, but even a quick session, sometimes called an exercise snack, can be beneficial. When I’m really not in the mood to train, I often find that once I get started, I feel energised and end up exercising for longer than I originally planned.

If you can commit to 10 minutes, then this upper-body band workout by certified personal trainer Emma Goodman-Horne is a great one to try. Goodman-Horne, founder of Emergy, says you don’t need to lift heavy weights to build strength and muscle—all you need is a loop resistance band.
