This past weekend I decided to play around with a few resistance bands while stuck at the gym on a rainy day. I ended up recording a ton of movements that you can start incorporating into your current routine (check them all out on my YouTube channel) and even put together a new workout for you, too! This Upper Body Resistance Band Workout is a great way to add variety while providing you with a new sort of challenge, without putting a ton of stress on your joints. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!
