21 Minute Total Body Band Circuit

We love the 21 minute workouts and we know you do too!  They get the job done when you are busy and but are still committed to working out!  All full body workouts help you get the maximum metabolic effect by utilizing all your muscles - it's hard work for your body, which means more change in less time! 

This workout uses resistance bands for the strength training, which are super portable and can be taken anywhere from outdoors, to your vacation destination.  If you don't have a set of bands, here are the ones we use.  Always feel free to use dumbbells instead of bands as well.

The format of this 21 minute workout differs from our AMRAP format, but you will still complete the workout in 21 minutes!  Enjoy the burn and challenge yourself!

Directions

• Start alarm or timer for 21 minutes at the beginning of the workout.
• Do each exercise for 10-12 Reps.
• Move through exercises 1-10 and repeat the circuit as many times as possible before 21 minutes are complete.  
• Once the timer is over, you stop working.
• The key to using resistance bands is to make sure you have enough tension - if you aren't feeling anything, you need to shorten your grip on the bands.
• Take breaks as needed.
• Click on exercises to see video demonstrations.
• You should consult your physician or other health care professional before starting this or any other fitness program to determine if it is right for your needs.  Click HERE for full disclaimer.
