Workouts with Rory: Full Body Resistance Band Workout
Photography & video editing - Nicholas Andrews
Whilst isolating and stuck within the confines of your four walls (and if you are lucky enough, a garden) it is easy to understand how much you might be missing the gym. For those that are, we have teamed up with model, personal trainer and online coach Rory McCall for workouts that you can do at home. Following on from the one dumbbell full body workout & HIIT, all you need for this one is a resistance band.
Remember that the reps that you hit will be largely dependent on the weights you have available, but try to aim for 1-2 reps short of failure on each set and perhaps go to failure on the final set of some exercises. As you're likely to only be working with light-moderate weights at home focus on slowing down the tempo of each exercise and including pause reps to increase the difficulty.
