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
Step 1: Follow the instructions for a Banded Clamshell (above) except instead of keeping your heels together during the movement, raise the top leg and foot 1 foot off the ground when hinging at the hip.
Banded Froggy Pumps
Step 1: Lie on the ground, knees bent, feet together, with a band placed just above your knees.
Step 2: Keeping your knees bent and your feet together, press your hips upwards until your hips come level with your knees, then press knees outward against the band (the clamshell part of the exercise).
Step 3: Pause briefly, and then slowly lower your body to the starting position before the next rep.
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.

Modification: Banded Air Squats

It?s amazing what you can do with bands! I need a new set of nice bands. Thanks for these workout ideas. I plan to try them all. The banded pop squats look killer!
I?ve been looking for bands for a while since I like to do at home workouts. These would be great!!
Love these bands!!! And these moves!!! How do we get our hands or shall I say our legs on these bands??
Love banded workouts. Great post! 🙂
I just recently fell in love with banded leg workouts and gosh they are awesome!!
Love banded work. Extra burn with so minimal extra equipment!
I really like the clamshells had not thought to do those with bands! I have hip knee alignment issues like many and my trainer suggested clamshells and some other things. They burn!! Thanks for this post so many good ideas here
Can?t wait to incorporate some of these moves into my daily workout. I?m thinking the standing kickbacks would be my favorite!
My favorite moves with the bands are crab walks side to side and front to back. My favorite workout partner who I tagged just recently moved to the other side of the country ? so now Im partnerless at the moment. When my husband isn?t working we workout together though so I?m not always alone ? I always have my 5 yr old that likes to work along side of me and copy my movements which is always fun ?
