After all, there\u2019s no such thing as having too many exercises to choose from!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will break down each exercise that the video\u2019s model, Jessi Kate, performed, so you can give this workout a try next time you\u2019re feeling experimental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What To Expect In This Full Body Workout Article<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for those of you who have access to a gym, after I provide the step-by-step for the video exercises, I will show you how to implement any one of these exercises into a regular gym routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incorporating some resistance band exercises (or bodyweight exercises) is an effective way to take a working muscle beyond failure &#8212; where the real growth happens. Plus, it gets more <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress-556875-3996516.cloudwaysapps.com\/bucked-up-supplements\/pump-ocalypse-the-pump-is-the-cure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blood pumping<\/a> and that\u2019s always a net win. But first, you need to know how to perform each exercise. As such, we\u2019ll start there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Body Home Workout &#8212; Booty Band Gainz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In and Out Jump Squats: 3 x 10-15<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The in and out jump squat is a great lower body exercise for improving power and coordination. It targets the quads, hamstrings, and of course glutes. Additionally, because of the jump, this works the calves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Integrating a resistance band into the movement adds a level of difficulty since it brings an extra component with having to control against the band when moving the legs in, and extra force when moving the legs out &#8212; somewhat like a hip abductor machine. As an added benefit, the resistance band can improve knee stability, which is optimal for those who find they have a tendency to let their knees \u201cbow\u201d in during traditional squats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9851e-shutterstock_1139321285.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3075\" style=\"width:522px;height:348px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To start, stand with your feet about shoulder width, and place the band so that it\u2019s looped around both legs, near the top of the knee.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping your core tight, and applying stabilizing pressure against the resistance band, bend your legs slightly, jump up, and separate your feet while airborne<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Land with your feet wider than shoulder width, and keeping your pressure against the resistance band, lower into a squat. To gauge the width of your stance when performing this exercise, hold your arms out to the side and bend at the elbow. Your squat stance should be almost as wide as your elbow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Powering through the heels, jump out of the squat. Bring your feet back to the starting stance while airborne, then land &#8212; feet shoulder width apart again. That\u2019s your first rep.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Modification: don\u2019t jump<\/strong>: Performing this modification won\u2019t take much alteration. Instead of jumping at the top, come up onto the balls of your feet as if you were doing a calf raise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Single leg Deadlifts x 10-15 (each leg)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are one of those deceptively challenging exercises that many men and women have mistakenly scoffed at, but they\u2019re no joke &#8212; both in difficulty level and effectiveness. In general, unilateral movements are beneficial in that you\u2019ll target each side individually to strengthen both sides &#8212; as opposed to a \u201cstrong\u201d side picking up slack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;On top of targeting the hamstrings, erector spinae, and glutes, they also require stability muscle recruitment to a large degree. Which is one reason why they\u2019re great for at home, since the only witness to your potential imbalance would be that dog that refuses to let you workout in peace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding the resistance band increases the level of difficulty since you\u2019ll feel greater resistance and stretch in the bottom portion of the movement, as well dealing with a more unstable environment &#8212; fitting for 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will explain how to perform the single leg deadlift using your <em>right<\/em> leg as the support, trusting you can figure out how to apply the steps for your left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To start, stand with your feet in-line with your hips. Loop the band underneath your right foot, and when standing upright, grip the band with an overhand grip, hands resting in front of your thighs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shift your weight to the right leg, which should have only a soft bend in the knee, then begin driving your left foot back, like a pendulum. At the same time, slowly start hinging at the waist, tipping forward until it\u2019s almost parallel to the floor. You\u2019ll want to keep your arms straight the entire time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When in the bottom part of the movement, your body will be in a mostly straight line from head to the bottom of your left foot &#8212; not counting natural curves of course since most of us don\u2019t want to be stick figures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Begin pulling your left leg forward while keeping it straight &#8212; again, like a pendulum &#8212; simultaneously lifting your torso up until you\u2019re standing upright again. That\u2019s one rep.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Modification: Deadlifts<\/strong>: Apply the same concept of holding the band overhand grip in front of your thighs. The band will be looped around the soles of both feet. Keeping a slight bend in your knees, slowly bend at the torso and drive the hips back, until your body is either parallel to the floor or you can\u2019t imagine stretching any further. Feel the stretch. Return to starting position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As an additional modification, should you still want to perform the single leg movement, but haven\u2019t built up to the necessary stability, you can place one hand on a post or anything of the sort &#8212; significant others can work nicely &#8212; and perform the exercise using them as balance (i.e. effective codependency)&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Curl to press x 10-15<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/c5920-shutterstock_1142094002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3077\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The curl to press exercise is a functional exercise used to improve strength in both biceps and deltoids. This is especially good for those who find they have trouble with dumbbell presses because they can\u2019t effectively get the dumbbells into the starting position (e.g. in a dumbbell military press, the weights start off on the thighs and need to be powered up to the starting point).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019re also a useful tool when wanting to hit more muscle groups in a short period of time. The resistance band is effective for recruiting more stability in those small muscles around the deltoids (e.g. rotator cuff) that so few of us directly train. To perform them is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start by grabbing your band, and looping it around both wrists &#8212; it should rest partly on the bottom of your hand, under your thumb as well. You will begin with your arms nearly straight, and palms facing inward in a neutral position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain pressure against the bands throughout the movement. Keeping your elbows from floating forward, curl until your pinky is level with your chest.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your elbows will start to drift forward once here and that\u2019s fine, as this is the portion of the curl where your deltoids naturally get recruited. Continue curling until the resistance band is just in front of your chin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply pressure to separate the band a little further to better activate your deltoids, then press up. From here, slowly lower the band. That\u2019s one rep.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Modification: Curl To Press without a band: <\/strong>Do this primarily to warm up and get familiar with the movement. Alternatively, if you just want to switch it up while still utilizing the band, do: 8 curls followed by 8 presses, then ending with 8 curl to presses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For those with access to dumbbells and whose goals are hypertrophy (muscle growth), do the military press and curl in a super set fashion, starting with military press, going to failure, then switching to curls (can be done with barbell or dumbbell.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alternating Plank Rows 3&#215;10-15<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know. The video calls them bridge rows. They\u2019re actually alternating plank rows (or commando rows), I\u2019m just passive aggressive&#8230;and it was already loaded onto Youtube, so yeah. There\u2019s that. Anyway, the alternating plank row is one personal trainers commonly have their clients do because it\u2019s a way to improve core stability while also developing some back strength.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefit of using a resistance band instead of kettlebells or dumbbells is, for one, if you\u2019re reading this, it\u2019s probably because you don\u2019t currently have access to either of those pieces of equipment. The other benefit is that when using kettle or dumbbells you will either have to balance on the equipment or pick them up each time. Although both of those practices can be effective (either for wrist stability or agility), they can prove too difficult for some. Here\u2019s how to perform the alternating plank row, using a resistance band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To start, loop the booty band around both hands and get into your standard plank\/push-up position, with hands a little wider than shoulder width apart. The band will be resting on the back of your hand.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread your legs slightly wider than hip width apart with your toes supporting your weight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeping your core tight, push down through the palm of one hand and at the same time \u201crow\u201d the opposite one upwards by retracting your shoulder and bending the elbow. When you do this with a band, it might want to slide so make sure to keep your hand parallel with the floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold the contraction for one second, focusing on flexing your core and squeezing your lat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slowly lower your hand to the floor and without pause repeat the movement with your other arm. This is one rep. Repeat until you\u2019ve hit your desired rep count, or until you can\u2019t do anymore (I suggest the latter option)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Modification: Alternating Plank Rows (off the knees): <\/strong>This doesn\u2019t need an explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Same Exercises Applied As Supersets In The Gym<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of you have access to a gym or at least some weights.
