    15-minute workout: Resistance bands

    Woman using resistance bands

    Busy day? We all know how hard it can be to fit a workout into our schedule, but why not get started with a 15-minute home workout? Working with a resistance band and in circuits will help you get your heart rate up, which will increase fat burn and muscle building.

    MUSCLES WORKED

    These five exercises will engage your glutes, hamstrings, quads, biceps, triceps, shoulders and back muscles.

    GET STARTED

    You’ll need to grab a resistance band. You can get these from your local drugstore or online. If you’re completing this workout at a gym, most gyms have this equipment for you to use. Give yourself enough space to perform these exercises.

    Follow these instructions for a quick, 15-minute, full-body workout using resistance bands.


    For the safety of our patients, staff and visitors, Mayo Clinic has strict masking policies in place. Anyone shown without a mask was either recorded prior to COVID-19 or recorded in a non-patient care area where social distancing and other safety protocols were followed.
