Workout Wednesday: Resistance Bands

Finding time to work out during the day can be a challenge, especially when you are confined to a desk or office for the majority of the day.

However, there are some great exercise routines that can be worked into your schedule just about anywhere.  Resistance bands are a great alternative to free weights, and they can be discreetly stored in your desk drawer for a quick, mid-day workout.

Resistance bands come in a variety of tension levels and are usually color coded. You may need to use a few different tension levels to get a full body workout.  Here is a great resistance band workout to get you started:
