This month of content has been sponsored by HART Sport.

And by sponsored I mean they sent me some free equipment to try out and share with you. I haven’t been paid to give a positive review or anything along those lines. Instead I took the opportunity to let my creativity run wild and come up with some great ideas for you using the equipment they sent. All equipment has been thoroughly tested by me over the past month and I’ll only be sharing what I think is quality gear.

Today I’ve got a team circuit where all you need is exercise bands with handles:

Triple Bandit Circuit

Time: 25 minutes

Equipment needed: Exercise Bands, Cones, Station Cards

Set up the stations below in a circuit around your workout area.

Get your campers into teams of 3 (similar fitness levels). Give each team 2x easy/light exercise bands and 2x hard/heavy exercise bands.

Go around the stations and show them how to do each exercise properly. Give them a moment to practice each movement too.

Teams will pick a station to start on. 2 members of the team will do the exercise on that station while the other runs a lap around the outside of the circuit. When the runner gets back they swap with one of their team members. After each team member has run a lap, they will change to the next station, taking their exercise bands with them, and start again.

Here’s an example:

• Person A – runs lap around circuit
• Person B – band goblet squats
• Person C – band goblet squats

Person A finishes lap.

• Person A – band goblet squats
• Person B – runs lap around circuit
• Person C – band goblet squats

Person B finishes lap.

• Person A – band goblet squats
• Person B – band goblet squats
• Person C – runs lap around circuit

Person C finishes lap and the whole team moves to the next station/exercise with Person A running first.

Teams are to complete as many stations as possible in 20 minutes.

Stations:

Teams will have two different strength bands. An easier one for exercises that only require a little resistance and a harder one for exercises that require more. The recommended band strength is denoted in [].

Beginner teams might need to use light bands for all exercises.

1. Bent Over Pullaparts [light]
2. Band Goblet Squat [heavy]
3. Side Plank Band Raise [light] – swap sides after one person runs
4. Half Kneeling Shoulder Press [light or heavy]
5. Band Y’s [light]
6. Squat and Y [light]
7. Pallof Press [light] – hold position and swap sides after one person runs
8. Banded Push Ups [light or heavy]

If you’re needing new exercise bands I recommend checking out HART Sport’s Versa Band. It’s more adjustable and more comfortable then tubing bands. It does provide less resistance though so be aware of that when you’re picking what strength to get.
