Who else bought resistance bands when the gyms closed?

Back in March when gyms and fitness studios starting closing down, one of our first priorities was to get some at-home workout equipment. I know we were not the only ones because a lot of the equipment was sold out or on back order. We got resistance bands that we love and use for pretty much every workout. Since we got them, I have been using them to mimic exercises that I did at the gym with machines or free-weights. So this week, I decided to look into some formal resistance band workouts. And the result is this post on resistance band videos for any level!

Opportunities:

His enthusiasm and energy is lower than other fitness videos
The first set of each exercise was clunky for me because I did not know which weight/band configuration I needed yet

Likes:

Nice variation of exercises that were challenging and worked the entire body
Music/no talking format allowed me to just pull up the video and follow along
Again, easy to follow and had smooth transitions between each exercise

Opportunities:

The introduction was strange; she was just standing in front of the camera and doing a voiceover. Because of this, I did not know what to think at the beginning
No modifications provided for easier or harder versions

10 Minute Full Body Workout (Resistance Bands)

Likes:

Short with no repeat exercises so has variety
Exercises target the whole body
Another good video to pull up and follow along without thinking much

Opportunities:

No transitions, introduction, or closing left me uncertain of what would come next and what to expect. This made it difficult to know which band I needed
Music/timer stopped and then started again in the middle of the video. Then I think it stopped again later…
No cues or modifications provided
