Workout recommendations for resistance bands

I’m planning to travel to visit my family and I will be staying there for a few months. I want to keep working out, but obviously I’m not going to bring my dumbbells with me as the are too heavy. I found some great resistance bands for the trip but i was looking for good workouts that use resistance bands or that at least you can modify for use with the resistance band. I won’t be able to have a door attachment, or anything like that, and the bands that I have are 4ft and 6ft long and they’re not in a loop. I already have Jessica Smith 6 Mile Mix and really like it, and would like to try something similar. It doesn’t have to be divided in segments. It can be a full length workout.

Any recommendations?

  • Cathe Travel Fit
  • Cathe LITE Bodyweight and Bands
  • Lynn Hahn Body, Bands, and Rings
  • Amy Bento 10 Minute Solution - she has two band workouts, one with figure 8 tubing and one with flat bands
  • Powerfit workouts use bands

I recommend you tag this thread with "bands" or "travel workouts" so it's easy to find later.

Cathe's Travel Fit is my absolute favorite of all the ones I've tried. I know Leslie Sansone has a few workouts that she uses bands in.

Good luck.

I usually try to replicate 6 Mile Mix or just wing it. I do 2-3 exercises per body part and it’s easy enough to come up with those exercises based on all the exercises I do with weights.

another vote for Cathe Travel Fit. she uses gloves to get a better grip on the band, and I found it to work well too. get the longest band you can find.

Slim in 6 uses bands too - the kind with handles, although you can easily use a pilates-style band.
