Resistance band exercises
Resistance band exercises in the Fitness Coach catalogue: 43 exercises. Mostly for: Glutes, Abs, Back.
Back · Beginner
Resistance Band Assisted Wide-Grip Pull-Up
A vertical pull-up variation on a straight bar in which a resistance band offsets part of bodyweight. Its wide overhand grip emphasizes back strength and helps build confidence with the wide-grip position before unassisted work.
Back · Beginner
Resistance Band Assisted Medium-Grip Pull-Up
An assisted vertical pull-up on a straight bar with an overhand grip around shoulder width. It trains the back and biceps while band assistance helps develop the strength and control needed for unassisted pull-ups.
Back · Beginner
Resistance Band Supinated Grip Pull Apart
A standing band exercise for the upper back and rear shoulders. Its palms-up grip distinguishes this variation from an overhand pull-apart, with the arms moving apart against elastic resistance.
Glutes · Beginner
Resistance Band Squat (Front Neutral-Grip Hold)
A band-resisted squat with the handles held in front of the body using a neutral grip. This setup directs resistance through the lower body while requiring stable upper-body positioning.
Glutes · Beginner
Resistance Band Squat (Lateral Handle Hold)
A band-resisted squat with the handles held at the sides. The lateral handle position creates a distinct upper-body setup while loading the quadriceps and glutes through the squat pattern.
Glutes · Beginner
Lateral Band Walk
A quarter-squat exercise in which a resistance band above the knees or around the ankles resists every step to the side. It works the glutes and hip abductors and trains pelvic stability. Keep tension on the band throughout and do not let the knees collapse inward.
Legs · Intermediate
Band Squat
A lower-body squat variation that uses resistance bands to load the glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings. The elastic resistance adds demand throughout the squat pattern.
Triceps · Beginner
Band Triceps Pushdown
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii muscles. It utilizes resistance bands to provide tension, making it a versatile and accessible exercise for enhancing triceps strength and definition.
Glutes · Beginner
Band Lying Clamshells
A resistance exercise targeting the gluteus medius and hip abductors. This exercise helps improve hip stability, strengthen the glutes, and enhance overall lower body function. It is performed by lying on your side with a resistance band looped around your thighs, just above the knees.
Back · Beginner
Resistance Band Assisted Narrow-Grip Pull-Up
An assisted vertical pull-up on a straight bar, with a resistance band offsetting part of bodyweight. It develops strength in the lats, biceps, and scapular control muscles while building toward unassisted pull-ups.
Abs · Beginner
Band Bicycle Crunches
A core-strengthening exercise that targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the obliques, while incorporating resistance bands to increase intensity. This exercise enhances core stability and improves rotational strength.
Triceps · Beginner
Overhead Band Triceps Extension
An isolation exercise targeting the triceps brachii. It involves extending the arms overhead using a resistance band, which provides constant tension throughout the movement. This exercise is effective for building triceps strength and size, and can be performed with minimal equipment.
Glutes · Advanced
Lateral Monster Walk
The Lateral Side (Monster) Walk Squat is a dynamic exercise that targets the gluteus medius, hip abductors, and quadriceps.
Glutes · Beginner
Band Hip Abduction
A standing single-leg band exercise that trains hip abductor strength. The anchored band creates lateral resistance while the body maintains balance.
Abs · Beginner
Band Kneeling Twisting Crunch
A kneeling core exercise that combines trunk flexion and rotation against band resistance. It emphasizes the obliques and abdominal muscles.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Band Upright Row
An exercise targeting the shoulders and upper back, primarily engaging the deltoids, trapezius, and rhomboids. It is performed using a resistance band, which provides variable resistance throughout the movement, making it a versatile option for strength training.
Back · Intermediate
Band High Anchor Wide Row
An exercise targeting the upper back muscles, including the rhomboids, trapezius, and rear deltoids. It involves pulling a resistance band anchored at a high point towards your chest with elbows flared out, promoting scapular retraction and shoulder stability.
Shoulders · Intermediate
Banded Face Pull
An upper body exercise targeting the rear deltoids, trapezius, and rotator cuff muscles.
Shoulders · Beginner
Band Lateral Raise
A shoulder isolation exercise that uses elastic resistance to target the lateral deltoids. It develops the middle portion of the shoulder through an outward arm-raising pattern.
Legs · Intermediate
Forward Band Monster Walk
A lower body exercise that targets the gluteus medius, hip abductors, and stabilizers. It involves walking forward with a resistance band placed around the legs, typically just above the knees, to create tension and activate the muscles effectively.
Chest · Intermediate
Resistance Band Push-Up
A push-up variation with elastic resistance added across the upper body. The band increases pressing demand for the chest, shoulders, and triceps compared with bodyweight alone.
Abs · Intermediate
Band Half Kneeling Chop
A diagonal band-resistance core exercise performed from a half-kneeling stance. It trains the obliques, shoulders, and hips to control rotational force.
Abs · Intermediate
High To Low Band Woodchopper
A dynamic exercise targeting the core, specifically the obliques, while also engaging the shoulders and hips. It mimics the motion of chopping wood, using a resistance band to provide tension throughout the movement. This exercise helps improve rotational strength and stability.
Back · Beginner
Band Pulldown Behind Neck
The 'Band Pull Down Behind Neck' exercise targets the upper back muscles, particularly the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius.
