What Are Resistance Bands?
Resistance bands are vinyl or cloth stretchy bands that use tension to exercise your muscles. Since they use tension or resistance rather than weight, resistance bands are very popular for at-home or on-the-go workouts and strength training. Additionally, because of this, they are much cheaper to order online simply because they are practically weightless and thus, very easy to ship. But, just like weights, resistance bands come in different sizes so that you can start low and build up to higher resistance band levels, in turn building your muscles and improving your overall strength, health, and wellness.
Resistance Bands: First Steps
Be sure to follow these steps before starting your resistance band workout:
- Buy the appropriate resistance bands, know how to use them properly according to their respective instructions, and with that, understand your current strength and goals. If you’re completely new to resistance bands and/or working out in general, it’s best to start with the lowest resistance levels and work from there as your strength increases and your muscles get stronger.
- Stretch, stretch, stretch! Take the time to stretch all of the muscles and limbs in your body from head to toe before using resistance bands or doing any form of workout for that matter to prevent muscle damage, unnecessary soreness or pain, and more.
How to Use Resistance Bands to Tone Your Body
Resistance bands can easily be used to help tone your body, especially your arm, leg, and ab muscles. While there are dozens of different workouts try find and try, here are a few tips and general guidelines for using your resistance bands to tone your arm, leg, and ab muscles.
- When doing standing exercises, be sure to stand tall and firmly place your feet on the ground over top the resistance band to prevent slipping.
- Maintain a good posture whether you are doing sitting or standing workouts to prevent your back muscles from straining.
- Be sure to repeat workouts on each side — if you focus on working out your left arm, switch and do the same exercise for the same reps on your right arm, too.

How to Use Resistance Bands to Build Your Booty
Resistance bands are really great for building a bigger, more toned, and muscular booty — fast. While there are also dozens of unique workouts to try, here are just a few common tips for using resistance bands for booty building.
- Make sure that your resistance bands are thick to prevent rolling or sliding while working out
- Try different workouts — never repeat just the same workout every day
- Even if booty building is your only goal, consider toning at least the nearby areas to your booty as well — having a flatter tummy and defining your thigh muscles, for example, will help your glutes look even bigger
