BullyJuice: 20 MINUTE BACK WORKOUT WITH RESISTANCE BANDS

What a fun workout! 20 Minute Back Workout with Resistance Bands is back strengthening workout from BullyJuice that is perfect for travel. This workout uses a large resistance loop. You will need your heaviest loop for most of the exercises. I did swap out to my medium loop for 3 of the exercises (#15, 17 & 23 below) but for everything else I used my strongest loop. I do think in the future I will extend my intervals to 40 or 45 seconds to get a bit more back work. I really enjoyed this workout. I am new to BullyJuice’s workouts but I love his enthusiasm!

Most of the exercises are done for 30 seconds and for most of them you get a 30 second recovery afterwards, but some you don’t. All of it is detailed in the breakdown below. There is a timer in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down your total workout time. When there is 4 seconds left of an exercise (or recovery) BullyJuice demonstrates the next exercise in a little video in the upper right hand corner of the screen. In fact, that would be my only criticism about this workout. I would like a longer preview. Not so much to help me get into position because if you are following BullyJuice, just start getting into position as he does, but to help me determine whether I needed my heavy or medium band. The 3 times I needed a lighter resistance loop, I was scrambling to swap my loop out. But to make up for it I continued working into the recovery.
