Summary
A few years ago I showed you the 10 best beginner band exercises. What’s interesting is 8 of those exercises have withstood the test of time. However, what I have realized over the years is that training with 1 single band using an attachment free setup is definitely the best place to start when introducing band training.
As a result, I am confident—after completing 1000’s of workouts with my adult fitness members—that these 12 Band Exercises will create awesome training results and success 99% of the time.
Great article and video, Dave! When I use my bands, it’s almost always single band in an attachment free set up. So convenient to utilize that way. Keep bringing more articles and videos like this to us. Happy holidays!

These can be mixed and matched to create multiple Tabatha workouts with either a balanced focus or focus on specific muscle groups. Another example of the versatility of bands.
