Scheduling your workouts is great, but sometimes life gets in the way—and you can kiss that gym session or barre class good-bye. For those moments, we bring you this: a quick, total-body workout you can do in the comfort and convenience of your home.
All you need is a resistance band. The thinner the band is, the less resistance it offers, so choose one that'll make you feel like you're working (yellow usually indicates a medium resistance that works for most people). You'll alternate between small, isolated movements that strengthen every muscle and high-energy bursts of cardio that will keep your heart rate up. That combo is what makes this workout so effective. Just grab a mat and your band to get started.
