20 Minute Resistance Band Routine with Nathalie Lennon (Instagram: @nathalielennon_ )

A workout with @nathalielennon_ that you can do anywhere, anytime using the Hit Fitness Resistance Bands! Bodyweight alternatives are also provided.

6 exercises to be completed for 3 rounds of 40 seconds on / 20 seconds off.

Exercise 1 - Banded Squats - To increase the difficulty add in a jump squat here, may also be done without the band. Ensure you keep your chest proud & knees following your toe line outward.
Exercise 2 - Banded Plank Walks - This can also be done as they are without the band but ensure to keep your height position fixed throughout & core engaged.
Exercise 3 - Banded Crab Walks - These also can be done without the band, but always try your best to stabilize your pelvic position.
Exercise 4 - Banded Renegade Row - The alternative here is shoulder taps which provide a greater shoulder focus rather than back muscle groups.
Exercise 5 - Single Leg Glute Bridge (5 reps) into Double (5 reps) - Exercises are the same without the band, just that bit easier!
Exercise 6 - Ankle Banded Burpees - Similar without a band, or simplify with a step burpee as is demonstrated.
