Crush Your Week: 5 Resistance Loop Workouts

We want you to crush each and every week, so every Sunday we're supplying you with five efficient workouts that you can do any time — and anywhere — to maximize your potential and make the most of every day.
Spartan training is all about using what you have, and a resistance loop is one of the best training tools to have in your arsenal. They’re lightweight, they don’t take up any space, and they pack a serious punch. Each workout this week is less than 20 minutes long, and all you need to crush each one is a Spartan Resistance Loop.
