With fitness bands we can burn fat and shape lean mass instead of weights, and above all they are so comfortable that we can use them to train anywhere, certainly at home but even on the go.

In this article we will see a 20-minute workout routine to transform our body and burn fat and calories thanks to these particular elastic bands.

WHAT FITNESS ELASTICS ARE AND WHERE TO FIND THEM

The fitness bands are elastic bands that can have different diameters and shapes, and even different resistances: the hardest ones are those for those who are already used to working with weights or resistances; the lighter ones are for beginners. It is often used to buy a set of 3 or 5 elastic bands, which therefore have different degrees of strength divided by color.

They can also be closed or open.

Where to find the fitness bands?

• In stores specializing in sporting goods, for example Decathlon, or online.
• Amazon offers tons of varieties of fitness bands.
  The best for women are those with shorter diameter, defined as mini-bands, which can also be used to train legs and buttocks, like these: Set Elastic Bands in Fabric (3 Pieces) with 3 Levels of Resistance for Glute Exercises, Yoga, Pilates, Gym .

Conversely, many men and in general those who go to the gym and want to train better lats and pectorals generally use long, open bands (i.e. with two gripable ends and often two hooks to fix them to the ground or to a wall), such as these:

WORKOUT ROUTINE WITH FITNESS ELASTICS TO BURN FAT IN 20 MINUTES

Now let’s see some examples of training routines that we can do with fitness bands in just over a quarter of an hour to train the whole body.

I always recommend starting with the lighter colored ones or the lighter ones if you have never trained with rubber bands.

These video workouts are free routines, in Italian and English.

I have chosen them among many because in a few minutes they allow you to obtain an easy and fast training circuit for the whole body which, however, also makes you burn calories.
And if you have more time, you can separately allow 10 minutes more, perhaps at another time of the day, to focus on a part of the body that you want to shape better such as legs, abdomen, arms or buttocks.
Otherwise, if you have a lot of kilos to lose, combine it with this 20-minute weight loss walk designed by a personal trainer.
