BOOTY BANDS. AKA resistance bands (affiliate), resistance loops, mini loops, mini loop resistance bands (affiliate), barre bands…

Whatever you call them, this tiny piece of equipment is one of my favorite ways to add intensity to home workouts and traveling workouts.

This 20 Minute Booty Band Workout is brought to you in partnership with Primal Kitchen®. My favorite pre-workout fuel is Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel™ blended into a hot cup of coffee.

I’m sharing more about why I use collagen, the benefits of collagen, and why I specifically love Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel™ below.

Benefits of Booty Band Exercises:

1. Affordable – get this variety pack of 5 resistance loop bands for under $20 on Amazon.
2. Versatile – there are SO MANY booty band exercises you can do (like these 8 leg exercises with resistance bands). I know we’re calling it a ‘booty’ band because it often targets your butt, but you can use resistance bands (affiliate) to work your entire body. In this 20 minute workout we’ll also use the mini loop for cardio intervals and core isolation targeting the lower abs and obliques.
3. Practical – booty bands are lightweight, easy to store in a home gym and travel with.
4. Effective – booty bands increase time under tension, engage your core, and require constant muscle engagement. Basically, there’s no break while you have the booty band on (which is almost ALL 20 minutes of this workout) so you’ll be feeling the burn.

The Workout: Booty Band Workout Legs, Cardio + Core

Jump to 20-Minute Booty Band Workout Video

This 20 Minute Legs, Cardio + Core Workout is basically a lower body HIIT workout using a mini resistance band.

This workout is for anyone looking to tone their legs — glutes, hamstrings, and quads. While specifically targeting the inner thighs and outer glutes (also known as the adductors and abductors) using a mini resistance band.

Exercise Equipment

Light-to-medium resistance, mini loop resistance band (affiliate).

These are the resistance loop bands that I’m using in this workout and really like. You can get this variety pack of 5 resistance loop bands for under $20 on Amazon.

If the rubber resistance bands (affiliate) tend to slip off or roll up on you; you can always give these fabric resistance bands a try.

If you don’t have access to resistance loop bands you can always: 

1. Tie a pair of workout leggings around your legs (roll up or tie up excess fabric).
2. Roll up a sports bra and put it around your legs.

20-Minute Booty Band Workout Instructions

Let me be your certified personal trainer for the day. Follow along with the 20-Minute Booty Band Workout Video at the top of this post.

I’ll be sweating with you through leg exercise, cardio exercise and core exercise; providing form cues and motivation.

IMPORTANT TRAINER TIP: you never want place the resistance loop band directly on a joint, like your knees. For this workout, the placement of the resistance band depends on the exercise; I’ll explain this in the workout video.

That said, the resistance band should be either an inch or two above the ankle joint (around the lower calf/shin area), or a 6 inches above or below the knee joint.

What is Collagen?

Collagen is one of the most abundant sources of protein in the human body; especially in our connective tissues, skin and bones. In fact, collagen makes up one third of the protein in the human body (Medical News Today).

Collagen peptides contain greater than 90% protein, and are made from bovine, porcine, or marine sources.

What are the Benefits of Using Collagen?

Collagen peptides supports: 

• Joints
• Tendons
• Muscles
• Skin
• Hair
• Nails

Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel™

I look forward to my daily cup of coffee with Primal Kitchen Collagen Fuel™ blended in.

Not only do I love the healthy fats, creamy coconut milk and the flavor it adds, but adding Collagen Fuel™ to my coffee also supports my joints, tendons, muscles, skin, hair, and nails.
