The Perfect 30 Minute Summer Workout You Can Do From Home

Even though working out may still be a priority during the summer months, getting to the gym may prove to be difficult. If you are a parent, your kids are out of school, and with the warm beach weather upon us, you likely prefer to be outside than stuck inside the gym. 

This is why we’ve created a 30-minute resistance band HIIT workout that can be done anywhere, any time. With these Body-Solid resistance bands, you can conduct the perfect total body HIIT workout. 

Why Do a Resistance Band Workout?

Resistance bands are a great fitness tool to add to your home gym. They’re portable, lightweight, and as an added bonus – extremely affordable! Resistance bands provide muscle-building tension and offer safe and effective workouts.

Health professionals recommend that individuals get a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise every day and strength training is a perfect way to get a daily workout in. Plus, research indicates that even one strength training session per week can improve muscle strength and improve your overall fitness. Pair this workout with some swimming, running, or even chasing after your kids, and you’ll finish out the summer more fit than ever!

Benefits of Resistant Exercises

Similar to free weights or weight machines, resistance bands provide a force against your targeted muscle groups. This resistance causes your muscles to contract, which stimulates both bone and muscle growth. As you stretch the band the tension increases, which means that bands can in some ways actually work your muscles better than free weights. Resistance bands are also often recommended by medical professionals as one of the safest methods to increase bone strength and help prevent osteoporosis.

Total Body Resistance Band Workout

For this workout, we recommended completing each circuit three times before moving onto the next circuit. You should also take 30-60 seconds of rest between each circuit.  Get out your Body-Solid Resistance Bands and get to work!

Complete 10-15 reps of each workout.

• Front Squat

Circuit 2

Complete 10-15 reps of each workout.

We recommend beginning with 10 reps of each workout, or even 5 if you’re a beginner. As you increase in strength you can increase the number of reps you complete by 5.
