Don't belong to a gym, or just hate fussing with weights? This simple workout can be done in the comfort of your living room with one inexpensive resistance band!

General Guidelines
Aim for 8 to 15 repetitions per set. You should feel as if you've pushed yourself hard by the time you complete the last rep of each set. Do 1 to 3 sets of each exercise, and rest 30 to 60 seconds between sets to give your muscles plenty of time to recover (unless otherwise noted).

Band Lat Pulldown
(Upper back, shoulders, biceps)

1. Sit in a chair or stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold an end of the exercise band in each hand. Raise your arms over your head with your left palm facing in and your right palm facing forward just above shoulder level. Your elbows should be slightly bent. Stand tall with your abdominals pulled in and your knees relaxed.
2. Keep your left arm still. Bend your right elbow down and out to the side, as if you're shooting an arrow straight up into the air. Keeping your wrist straight, pull the band until your right hand is to the side of your right shoulder, the band is tight, and your right elbow points down. Slowly straighten your arm. Switch sides, alternating arms as you complete the set.

Modified Push-up
(Chest, triceps, shoulders)

1. Lie on your stomach, bend your knees and cross your ankles. Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor a bit to the side and in front of your shoulders. Straighten your arms and lift your body so that you're balanced on your palms and the part of your thighs just above your knees. Tuck your chin a few inches toward your chest so that your forehead faces the floor. Tighten your abdominals.
2. Bend your elbows and lower your entire body at once. Rather than try to touch your chest to the floor, lower only until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Push back up.
