As promised, here?s the post you?ve all been waiting for (you have been waiting, right??? ;))?the sequel to my 8 Resistance Band Moves You Can Do Anywhere post from a few weeks ago!!! I?m telling you guys, this one is another booty burner that will help you build that booty you’ve been dreaming about! And like with the first post, you can seriously do these movements anywhere! And just as a refresher, keep these tips in mind before, during, and after this workout:
- Choose a band that?s tight enough to challenge you (scroll down for some of my favorites).
- Keep your core tight throughout each exercise and don?t forget to breathe.
- Make sure each movement is slow and controlled.
- Do this workout 3-4 days a week, making sure to have a day in between workouts so those muscles can repair and get even stronger!

Banded Clamshells
Step 1: Lie on the floor on your side with your legs bent at around 90 degrees at the knees, knees on top of each other and forward so you feel supported. Place a resistance band just above your knees.
Step 2: Keeping your hips straight and ?stacked? on top of each other, raise the top knee up towards the ceiling, keeping your feet together, like a clamshell. Squeeze your glutes to drive the movement, making sure your pelvis doesn?t roll backwards as you raise your knee.
3. Step 3: Return to the starting position.
Banded Flying Clamshells

Banded Squat to Lateral Leg Lifts
Step 1: Begin in a standing position, feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed slightly out from parallel with a resistance band placed at your ankles. This is the same position as if you were going to do an Air Squat.
Step 2: Keeping your weight in your heels, bend your knees and lower your buttocks down and back, as if being pulled from a belt (the squat part of the exercise).
Step 3: Using your arms as a counterbalance, push your knees outwards as you squat, using the band for resistance.
Step 4: Return to the starting position, then transfer your weight to one leg and kick out to the side with the other leg, using the band as resistance.
Step 5: Return to the starting position and repeat, kicking out the other leg.
Banded Standing Kickbacks


Step 1: Begin in a standing position with a resistance band around your ankles. Holding your core tight, transfer your weight to one leg and raise one leg back and slightly to the side, using the band as resistance.
Step 2: Be sure and keep your upper body straight?no leaning!
Step 3: Return to the starting position and repeat on the other leg.
Banded Standing Leg Abductions
Step 1: Begin in a standing position with a resistance band around your ankles. Holding your core tight, transfer your weight to one leg and raise the other one out to the side, using the band as resistance.
Step 2: Be sure and keep your upper body straight?no leaning!
Step 3: Return to the starting position and repeat on the other leg.
Banded Forward? & Backward Squat Walks
Step 1: Stand with your feet together and secure the band above your knees. Lower into a squat.
Step 2: Hold this low squat as you step forward with one foot, stepping away from your body at about a 45 degree angle, then repeat with the other foot, alternating legs as you walk.
Step 3: When you?re finished with your forward reps, repeat stepping backwards, stepping away from your body at about a 45 degree angle with each foot until you return to your starting place.
Step 4: Stay as low as possible throughout the movements.

Squats!!! I can do them while I cook or watch TV
I have been wanting to try the resistance bands! Looks like a great way to exercise while traveling
Love working out with bands, they are my best friend at the gym. After every workout I tend to do a triple super set to get those buns burning! And best of all, you can always take your bands anywhere you go, which means no excuses for leg day!
Banded moves are no joke! They burn in all the right ways <3
Thanks for sharing! Band workouts are just what I need when the kiddos have kept me busy and I have no energy to go to the gym!
Love banded workouts!!
Simple moves but not easy! I like that this band gives resistance but can also be incorporated with HIIT style training. I enjoy reading your fitness blog. I always learn so much!
More often we need workout sets we can do from anywhere with litttle to no equipment. I?m definitely adding this to my routine. Thanks
My absolute favorite banded move is a banded hip thrust. I love the complexity of it and how so many muscles are firing all at the same time. Can we say ?on ?!
Can?t wait to try these ????
