Resistance Band Arm Workout – 6 Best Resistance Band Exercises To Tone And Strengthen Your Arms

Resistance bands are some of the most-effective pieces of equipment for any home gym.

They’re light, portable, and versatile. In fact I am constantly giving out resistance bands to my physical therapy patients to strengthen muscles during their rehabilitation.

However, these bands certainly aren’t just for rehab!

In this arm workout video I am sharing 6 of my favorite resistance band arm exercises to strengthen and tone your upper extremities.

We’ll be working your biceps, triceps, and shoulders in this workout but also include some back moves to stabilize and strengthen the scapula (vital in upper extremity motions).

You ready for this one? Grab your resistance bands and let’s get to it:
