I noticed how much better my posture is when doing squats with bands as opposed to weights. The bands automatically sort your posture out.
Great video.
I just bought mine from Walmart. But it didn’t have a DVD with it. It has a chart with about 7 or 8 exercises demonstrated. I haven’t used it yet, but hope it is a good workout.
Thanks ladies! It’s 2019, I’m just pulling these out of my closet! ��
It looks easy.. I just tried it.. I must have a different ring or something… ��
Thanks for sharing. What is the difference between using the coreplus reformer and resistance bands?
so you can do 2 hours of cardio on top of a whole day of dancing?
I need nv diddernr excerise for big bits n thick thighs..thanks.its superb
Wow this really works great thank u. I been looking for a vedio for my gym stick. And I finally found one. So happy thank you again.
i havent gain but i maintain so that is good for me in these tough COVID-19 times thank you
Can ppl with planter facitis do this?? Also what about really overweight beginners? Will it help loose weight??
Great work! I like much better than the Tony Little workout dvd!!
It’s so sad that the woman on the front unfortunately cannot squat correctly. The man’s feet are not parallel even for a minute. The shoulders shouldn’t be rounded.
The exercises and the method itself is brilliant I think but if someone spends money for a video like this, it should look at the tiny things like this.
I’m totally down for being able to see actual gains using resistance bands while wearing flip flops �� ����☀️
Thats what I’m talkin’ bout!!! Keep up the good work

This has been the perfect way to stretch after I spin! It’s also a great intro to my ring.
Hi James! how many reps and sets? Thanks in advance and more power!
I didn’t realize how much I would love pilates until I tried it now I want a reformer for my apartment. But not room:/
Please give us a playlist! You and I have the same music taste and I’m geekin’ out.:)
Very nice ���� GREAT workouts ���� away from home/gym!!! Great explanations!! Thank you���� have fun
Looking forward to tomorrows vlog!! Still loved This one tho!:)
It’s 2020 and I’m not getting back to the studio anytime soon. I just found my Gaiam reformer from my closet but I can’t find the DVD. I’d love to see a real workout routine with this reformer/cord from the Popsugar crew!
That lavender leotard you wore in rehearsal looked beautiful on you.
Do you have a specific workout playlist? I’d love to know what the songs are
Thanks James…. I ditched the dumb bells a year ago, those bands work like a charm. I can see some changes in my gains and the funny thing is I can carry them anywhere and have the workout.
Hi Joy, I’m a pilates instructor and teacher trainer. Why not try sidel-lying for footwork (bottom leg extended under the footbar) working adductors, top leg working with foot on bar and you can really work on your deep 6 hip external rotators for your turnout. Stack hips, maintain waist lifted away from carriage. even more challenging for core because your base of support is smaller. Also sidelying with leg springs, top foot in loop. You can do a slow front an dback (grande battement), and big circles (rond de jambe). Core completely stable and again, much more work to stabilise your centre than when supine. One red spring will do you for that. When you do your variations on Long Stretch ( with arabesque, inverted v, whatever), thumbs as well as fingers over the bar, only shoulderwidth handand don’t let your arm bones rotate in. More outward rotation of the humerus and really really integrate your shoulderblades onto you body actively. Sorry for the tips, I can’t help myself!
will be thinking of purchasing some bands. My Gold’s Gym Resistance Tube Heavy Strength (Blue) broke at end. These had handles on the ends.
Thank you for the throwback to Owl City haha! Keep up the hard work:)
I skipped my cross-training at the gym today:x You’re so lucky your gym has a reformer! I use a whole mess of props to simulate one at my gym. Its fun to “translate” exercises from the apparatus to things like foam rollers and therabands, but sometimes I just want to be able to hook on some springs and go.
I felt really sorry for the unannounced guest when she stretched and you suddenly had your foot next to your head. ��
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MaKING THE MOST AMAZING VIDEOS! Thank you so much Joy! You are a legend! And the best ballerina ever! My ultimate inspiration ever!
Been gaining shape and stength and no gym membership.. while traveling.. thanks to your workouts.
AWESOME! I just did this workout after a 1-Mile aerobic walk. Thank you. ������
I had to buy a lake and a paddle board to finish this workout.
Yes the thigh master! I still have mine..lol.. I just did a video on how to start your own gym. The thigh master is in it. Great class! Thank you!
my resistance bands so tight to stretch and do proper moves
Is there a video to how to stretch the bands more, I feel like bands will snap?
Hi James… Would you recommend doing something like this 3 days a week or following your program that came with the bands (5-6 days per week of working out). Just curious your thoughts on workout splits… Full body, upper lower, ppl, or bro splits. Thanks
How many sets can I do per exercise if I’m a beginner following this fullbody workout? Could it be one set of 15-30 reps?
I bought these a while ago and really did not understand why James thought this “under the sun” thing was so great. Fast forward the quarantine shuts down the gyms and now the local kids jungle gym is my gym thanks to the bands. I absolutely love working out outside. It is amazing. I did not think I would enjoy it so much. Thanks James, great product and great idea.
Anyone that thinks resistant bands don’t work, isn’t doing it right. Watch this guy and learn.
I wish I had access to a reformer! I’ve only ever done mat pilates because studios/gyms with pilates machines are a rarity around here. That looked like a great workout and stretch. My core even felt it from watching. ��
Please support my IG at @ ijl.fitness for fitness related posts! yes, resistance bands tip are there too!
I’ve been working out with weights and resistance bands for years but I’ve been slacking I’m so glad I found your channel I’m learning alot that I didn’t know about resistance bands
Really confused about how you increase overload with this? I get you can up the band strength and increase the distance by increasing slack in part of the band. How else can you progress in a way comparable to adding more weight to the bar or increasing dumb bell weight? How do you know you’re improving?
as a beginner woukd you say one worjout for each muscle group is enough or should i be doing two each muscle group?
Great, I could finally order them off Amazon USA. Luckily for me, they ship to Spain. I couldn’t find them anywhere in Europe. Got a few other bands at home to keep up until “the real ones” arrive.
Nice videos btw, I really enjoy your channel. I discovered it due to the Covid-19 pandemic, like most people I guess…
Thanks James just got your bands couple days ago!! �������� since la fitness gyms are closed these are a good alternatives!! I can feel the burn with these bands I got the toning up lightweight bands ������
Brilliant no nonsense explanation, am a big fan and user of big bands and kettlebell. Using bands uses your whole body for a full body workout. Will do this today! Thank you from Montreal!
I was one of those guys who was a little skeptical about resistance bands at first (never put it down though), so did my due diligence. Came across James and his videos and he’s got a lot of wisdom and knowledge on the subject. I ordered some bands (James’ were sold out) and went through some workouts, incorporating his workouts into my regimens. This sh*t kicked my ass…no joke.
The movement, etc. is totally different from traditional weights and it also incorporates more reliance on stabilizers muscles and ligaments, which in turn helps to develop better balance and coordination. Props to James for persevering in the face of all of these wanna be tough guy naysayers. Sh*t works, and that’s coming from someone who has owned his own fitness business (certs, etc.). Perfect for the lockdown here in LA.
Thank you, I bought like this, but I regretted it because I do not know how to use it now. By watching the video, I learned.I am Iraqi, so my English may not be clear.
Just ordered the bundle. This guy puts a lot of thought into how to use his product.
Love your insights sir, so generous and real. Lots of humour too, I use your routines every week. Thank you!
I would be great if you put all of the advertisements at the beginning and the end. When we are down on the floor, and a 5 minute ad comes on we don’t have to keep getting up to Skip.
Need some advise on a workout split. Does anybody have one that they are doing that works?
Weird days happen. You just keep on keeping on. You rock, Joy!
Get it on https://giftcanadian.com/products/portable-gym-pilates-bar
I have difficulty with the exercise when you are like a boat with the two feet and hands in ring. I just can not ho so up!! What is going on?
https://exercisegenie.co.uk/ for really good quality bands bought some really bad quality ones from amazon and was disappointed happy to say these weren’t disappointing at all and they have a sale right now so I got a bargain lol
Any tips on which bands should I get first. Getting the whole set is a little pricey for me right now?
I have been lifting weights for 35 years and this is just what I needed!
A whole new way to work out that I can do outside enjoying the weather!
Totally awesome ��
I’m like a skeleton I can only do 1 good rep of each and sometimes non at all anyone know any workouts I can do to even be able to attempt these I wanna focus on my body during lockdown
Hello James, just wanted to thank you for highlighting the key points of an exercise, taking care on the details and not having a video that takes 27 minutes.
The lavender leo is heaaaaart eeeeeeeyes. Would love to see like a gym/ballet clothes closet tour some time 😉 Despite the guest I think your demonstration was really good! It was very clear seeing what you were doing! I don’t remember my gym having a pilates table like that but I should probably look into it. <3
I got some bands from homeprogym.com and can do almost all the same workouts I used to do at gym, even using a pole through the bands you can do bench press etc. All you need is a few bands at different weight ranges and you can do almost everything at home.
If anyone says resistance band ain’t work beat them with the heavy band on their back
Thanks for all your resistance band videos James!! �� I have only just discovered resistance bands and I love them and your routines kill me!! I strive to be built like you using bands! Much love brother!
Super just what we need during these times of London lockdown. Fortunately I had bought a couple of band’s prior to the apocalypse…
I love this stuff James. Thanks so much for the detailed breakdown and explanation. Legend
With C19 keeping us out of the gym, your bite sized 12 min-ish instructional vids are a God send. Really thinking about never buying a gym membership again. Thanks!
Aren’t you worried about those bands breaking and snapping?!
whats the length of the bands? some I’ve seen on the internet are 2M some are 1.5m?
Very useful,. but where is the workout for the abs and legs? It said this would be a total body workout!
James, Between your attention to detail and your easy to understand directions, you’re as good as it gets! Question: Is there any difference between the 2nd movement in this video and the trapezoid exercise in your back-oriented video?
I hope you don’t take a dump in the water!, seriously thought thanks for the workout:)
Could I do these standing on a trampoline to increase balance?
I got the elastic bands and they already broke. I am willing to try different ones but I am concerned about them breaking apart again. & Yes, I also came here due to the Corona virus.
I am a newbie to resistance bad workout. I love it. No more weights taking up space and time in my life
best thing ever i love it so much but i buy from trainhome.shop because its easier to use and i got book with workouts. My recommend for that store
Love this 10 mins ring workout! Would love more pls thank you
Any ideas on how to increase trapezuis muscles?
From the neck down?
love this workout. I had the stick for several years and just found your videos because I lost the instruction manual. Awesome workout, thank you
Hi James did you build your physique the past years purely on RBT only? Can I build a physique like yours purely on bands and nothing else?
This is great stuff. Truly appreciate. I had actually decided to leave my gym pre-pandemic, because I was so tired of it always being packed with inconsiderate people. I’ve been building my home gym, but I can’t afford a huge full set of weights ( nor do I have the space), so I ordered a set of bands. Can’t wait to receive them and get to work.
He keeps saying he’s on the paddleboard, and he never gets on the paddleboardvery mysterious!
Only thing you need for home workout is resistance workout set.������
You can do anything you want with them, they are simple to use and you can gain great muscle. I got my at trainhome shop (check on google)��.
Hey James, great demonstration of how to use resistance bands. One question on using resistance band for squats and dead-lifts. In both cases, load/resistance at starting position would be less and will keep increasing as you move upwards.For ex. I can squat with barbel 150lb max. To do similar weight with band, let us say I select x-heavy band (may be I need to use 2 bands together Light + X-Heavy to get 150lb weight?). When I’m in the start position in squat or dead-lift, if the resistance is equivalent to 150lbs then I may not be able to complete it because as I move up, resistance will increase and my max limit is 150lb. If I start with lower resistance, then I will lose out on the max weight during initial position. Is there a way around this problem?
Just ordered a heavy band. Guess the gyms gonna be closed for a while. Meanwhile imma keep my gains till it gets over.
Can these resistance bands break if you pull to high above your head?
Thanks man. I am currently quarantined and getting some great band workouts.
Go should go to Unflexal webworkouts if you’d like to learn more about workouts. Good new solutions for everyone I think.
Great vids James! I’m training a few months with bands now and they really amaze me. Keep up the good work! ��
This is my favourite morning exercise routine on YouTube. I’ve tried loads of others but always come back to this! Thanks Robyn x
You deserve more subscribers man �� This channel is an authority on band work ��
Hi Robin, I am a new subscriber, what company do you buy your rings, balls, etc?, Sandy (Dan Lee’s wife)
I am having trouble ordering this x band how do I order off the site please?
ouch that side lying raise with those pulses at the top, i got cramp just

I want to know if you can perform a hack squat or leg press in some way other than the squat’s /deadlifts shown? Loving my outside training at present times though while the weather is good!��️♂️��
Just found… quick and just the right amount of challenge. Thank you.
I had the ring for over 3 years and it’s my first time using it with you! Glad I found Your channel, thank you for sharing!
This is a great workout. Thanks. I am a beginner and found this really fun:)
Been looking for a quick morning routine to start my day off right. Looking forward to doing this tomorrow morning,
