Bodyweight core workouts are a great way to build strength. But if you're looking to challenge your core even more and switch up your workouts, try adding a resistance band into the mix.

They might not look like much, but the best resistance bands are an excellent alternative to weights, especially if you exercise at home and you're short on space. They challenge your muscles just like traditional weights do, by forcing the body to push harder than usual against a source of resistance, which leads to muscle gain.
