Total Body Mini Band Workout

Mini Bands are so great!

I love a good total body workout and I have so much fun using mini bands. You’ve probably seen my  abs and booty bands workout but I wanted to come up with another workout that would be just as fun but target your total body! A huge benefit of owning mini bands is that they are so great for almost every exercise that you can imagine! And the absolute BEST thing about mini bands, you can get a set of 4-6 bands for less than $15!! Yes!!! I always keep at least 2 different mini bands in my gym bag!

Also, I love using my mini bands for traveling. They are super simple to throw in a carry on! And they are so small!! It makes it so that you can workout even on vacation! Well, I like to workout on vacations… (I know crazy… haha) But hey, that’s how I stay on track with my goals!

Mini Band Total Body Workout

This workout will be quick and fun! You will do 3 sets of the 8 exercises and alternate sides when needed. For each exercise, you will do 15 reps (per side). This whole workout, warm up and cool down included, can be done in 25 minutes OR less!!! Yes!! Quick and powerful! And you will definitely feel that burn! So grab your mini band (or 2) and let’s get to work!
