Functional Resistance Band Circuits Class (43 Mins)

Functional Resistance Band Circuits Workout Class (43 Mins) - This workout is broken up into three circuits using a resistance band loop. Total body workout with warm up and cool down included. Free video is up for all on YouTube! #resistanceband #bandworkout #circuitworkout

This functional resistance band circuits workout is broken up into three sections. There is minimal jumping, and if you want to keep the entire class low-impact, I’ll be showing modifications on the screen in the below video.

I have a few more Functional Circuits classes available for free on the site and channel:

And if you want access to lots more, you can become a Patreon member!

Functional Resistance Band Circuits Class

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

  • Resistance band loop – I’m using a light band for the first circuit and a medium band for the second and third circuits.

In this class, we start with a guided warm up, focusing on mobility and dynamic movement/light cardio. We then move onto our functional circuit work. In each of the three circuits, you’ll preform four exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. You then rest 30 seconds before repeating. So that’s 2 mins of work, 30 sec rest.

In Circuits 1 & 2, we’ll do some unilateral work so we’ll complete 4 sets of the circuits, alternating right and left. In Circuit 3, we’ll complete 3 sets.

Between circuits, you get about a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.

We finish class with a guided cool down and stretch.

There is minimal jumping throughout class and low-impact modifications will be shown on the screen if you want to keep the entire workout low impact.

Glutes + Outer Hips Resistance Band Mini Flows Class

Glutes + Outer Hips Resistance Band Mini Flows Class (43 Mins) - A low-impact, joint-friendly class using a resistance band loop that focuses on glutes and outer hips. Mix of mat work and standing balance work. #resistanceband #homeworkout #workoutclass #fitness

I’m so excited about the workout videos I released on Patreon this month! Heavily influenced by my Pilates training, I created a series of resistance band workouts that focus in on various joints and muscle groups. In addition to this glutes + outer hips resistance band class, I have another one on Patreon focusing in on the hip joint and activating the glutes. Also one focused on shoulders and mid back, and one on core.

Glutes + Outer Hips Resistance Band Mini Flows Class (43 Mins)

EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR CLASS:

  • Resistance band loop – I’m using the heavy weight from my set for Flow 1 and the lightest band for Flows 2 & 3
  • Chair/stool/counter/wall (something to use for balance assistance in a standing, hinged position)

In this class, we start with a quick warm up. It will focus mostly on mobility, especially through the hips. We then move onto our mini flows workout with the resistance band. The best way to describe this structure is to picture a Pilates mat class. We essentially take a small sequence out of that class, add in a resistance band, and turn it into a circuit.

Each of the three mini flows is a short sequence (1 min 45 sec – 2.5 minutes long). You’ll do it twice on the right then twice on the left. You rest for 15 seconds in between completed sequences and 30 seconds between sides. We’ll start on the mat and finish standing.

Between each of the different flows, you get about a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.

We finish class with a guided cool down and stretch.

Circuit + Tabata Class (60 Mins) – Resistance Band

Circuit + Tabata Class (60 Mins) - Resistance Band | In this 60-minute workout class, you'll complete two strength circuits and two tabata sections. For equipment you'll just need a resistance band loop. #workoutclass #workoutvideo #fitness #nicolepearce

In tomorrow’s September drop of Patreon classes, there will be three Circuit + Tabata classes — another using a resistance band, one using weights, and one that’s bodyweight only. Get yourself ready (and excited??) by checking out this class, up for free now on YouTube.

For those interested in becoming a Patreon member, you can get all the info you need here. Important: If interested in joining, wait to become a member until tomorrow. Patreon charges you upon sign up, and then on the 1st of every month moving forward. I don’t want you to be charged today and then again tomorrow on the 1st!

Circuit + Tabata Class (60 Mins) – Resistance Band

In this class, we start with a guided warm up. It will focus mostly on mobility, mixing in some light cardio toward the end to gradually bring the heart rate up. We then move onto our circuit + tabata work. The first half of class will be lower body focused, while the second half will have more of an upper body and core focus. In each of the halves, you’ll do a strength circuit and a tabata.

In each circuit, you’ll preform four exercises. You do them for 45 seconds each, with 5 seconds of transition time in between. You then rest for 30 seconds before repeating. We’ll be doing some unilateral work in the circuits today, so you’ll complete two sets on the right then two sets of the circuit on the left.

In each tabata, you preform two exercises, alternating between them, using an interval structure of 20 seconds work / 10 seconds rest x8.

Between each section of class, you get about a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed.

We finish class with a 60-second burpee challenge followed by a guided cool down and stretch.
