Beginner Friendly Workouts | Resistance Bands

Are you looking for simple, effective workouts that can be done anywhere? 

Zula Loops Resistance Bands are premium quality, portable, and EASY TO USE. You can stay fit whether you're at home, in the gym, or on the go. We’ll walk you through five easy workouts using Zula Loops Tone AND Tame, helping you maximize results with no other equipment.

Get your Tone or Tame band and get ready!

1. Clamshell Pumps

Benefit: Tone your lower body and improve stability.

How to:

  1. Start by lying on your side with your legs stacked and knees bent at a 90-degree angle.

  2. Place your Tone band just above your knees. Adjust the placement swiftly using the magnetic buckles.

  3. Rest your head on your lower arm and place your top hand on the floor in front of you for stability.

Open and Close:

  1. Engage your core and slowly lift your top knee while keeping your feet together, creating a "clamshell" motion.

  2. Raise your knee as high as possible without rotating your hips or lower back.

  3. Hold for 1-2 seconds at the top, then slowly lower your knee back to the starting position.

  4. Complete 15 reps on one side, then switch to the other side.

Reps: 15 reps on each side. 20 once you start using Zula Loops consistently. 

Why it works: It’s a fantastic warm-up or a great finisher workout to fire up your glutes and stabilize muscles.

2. Banded Fire Hydrant Pumps

Benefit: Strengthen your glutes, hips, and core.

How to:

  1. Start on all fours with your hands directly under your shoulders and knees under your hips.

  2. Place your Tone band around your thighs, just above your knees.

  3. Keeping your knee bent at a 90-degree angle, lift one leg out to the side until your thigh is parallel to the floor. Make sure your core stays engaged and your hips don't rotate.

  4. Lower the leg back down to the starting position and repeat.

  5. Complete 12 reps on one side before switching to the other.

Reps: 3 sets of 12 reps per side.

Why it works: This exercise helps with hip stability, glute activation, and improving balance. Your Zula Loops band will provide an added layer of tension to engage your muscles further.

3. Lateral Band Walks

Benefit: Targets your hip abductors and glutes and helps improve balance and lower body strength.

How to:

  1. Place your Tone Loop around your thighs or ankles.

  2. Start in a half-squat position with your feet shoulder-width apart.

  3. Step sideways, leading with your heel, and then follow with your other foot, maintaining resistance in the band.

  4. Continue stepping sideways for 10 steps in one direction, then repeat in the other direction.

Pro Tip: Use the Zula Loops magnetic buckle to easily adjust the band’s position for maximum comfort and effectiveness during the exercise! 

Reps: 3 sets of 10 steps each side.

Why it works: Lateral band walks are an excellent way to build strength in your hips and glutes, which helps improve your overall athletic performance and balance.
