I was feeling for something short today. I was just feeling off and not really balanced and I didn't want to overdo something and then get injured again. So instead of a routine that used dumbbells, I went with a band routine(s). 10-Minute Trainer is the only program I could think of that used bands in a consistent manner through a full routine. I did two routines, Upper Body, and One-on-One Upper. Both only 10 minutes, but they actually took me a little longer to get through because I wanted to hit even rep counts when I did alternating sides on certain moves. So, even though it was a 10-minute routine, it actually took me a little over 15 minutes for each one. I have a new respect for bands. I really got a good burn from the bands. I also got a pretty good pump as well. But the burn was definitely there. There were some moves that also worked the core along with the upper body.
I also did 10-minute Abs. It has been a while since I did that routine, and before, if memory serves, I was able to get through it without more than a couple tap outs at most. But this time, I was tapping out all over the place. Especially when I was doing moves from the Plank position. Definitely felt the burn. The rest of the workout felt as it should.
In the end, I burned a good 687 kcals. One thing, during the band work, I actually broke one of the handles of my bands, so I had to switch to another set that was a little weaker, but it ended up being a good switch because I was fried.
