How It Works: Up to four days a week, do one set of the prescribed number of reps for each exercise, resting 30 to 45 seconds between moves. After you finish the entire circuit, repeat two more times (three times total). For best body-shaping results, do a resistance workout like this total-body band workout on your "off" days.
You'll Need: A resistance band with handles and access to a sturdy anchor point (a doorknob or a couch will work).
