Resistance bands are ideal tools as a toning arsenal. They are not expensive and suit even the starters as they are portable. These resistance bands are more functional and joint-friendly than the free weights. Get these bands in a circle or as a long strip to fit around your ankles or thighs. Here are 5 resistance band workouts ensuring a firm butt by pinpointing the backside muscles.
