Take Anywhere Total Upper Body Band Workout

This is a simple way to get an upper body workout in without using any other equipment than your bands.  The beauty of bands is that they can be thrown in a purse or suitcase and be literally used anywhere you go!  They also offer variable resistance allowing you to adjust the difficulty just by shortening or lengthening your grip on the bands.  We love everything about bands!

This workout is timed, but if you prefer to do numbered reps, it can easily be changed.  Grab some bands and get ready to workout!
