Doubling up on resistance bands? This isn't something I'd ever thought of doing. Last week, I came across a glute routine on Fitbie that took advantage of two resistance loop bands as opposed to the usual one. Intrigued by the concept, I decided to give it a try.
With one band placed above my knees and the other around my ankles, the combination provided me with a good amount of structure, and though the moves themselves are very basic, they proved to be a great challenge. What's great about these exercises is that they're easy to modify (considering you have a full set of light, medium, and heavy bands handy); a simple switch of the bands can increase or decrease intensity, allowing for someone at any level of fitness to take advantage of these glute-toning moves. Another perk to these exercises is that aside from the bands, only a small area of floor space is needed to perform them, making them great for an at-home routine.
If you happen to own a set of these terrific bands and are looking to tighten up the backside, consider getting in some double-banded action during your next workout! If you don't own a set, you may want to consider purchasing some— they're both inexpensive (you can find them on Amazon for $10-$20) and a great way to take some of your exercises up a notch! They can be used for a vast array of workouts, many of which can easily be found on the web, so that money will be put to good use.
