Wednesday

Week 1 - Linking Bands

Week 2 - Attached Band Training

Week 3 - Quick Calorie Burn

Week 4 - Mobilize your Hip Flexor

Week 5 - New Things Coming Soon

Why you want to link bands together

Keeping the tension on an attached band setup is the key to maximizing RBT Attached Band Training. Very often I will see someone letting the bands get loose while doing attached band training. This is major mistake that decreases training results.

Great holiday workout template that will allow you to get in a quick calorie burn and strength workout anytime, anywhere. Let me take you through how to set it up.

Learn how to mobilize your hip flexor and quad with a band the right way. Stop beating up your low back while thinking your stretching your thigh.
