Working out at home can solve many a problem - you can save money by not spending on a gym membership, you can work out in your free time without having to go anywhere, you can work out while you watch your favorite shows, and you curly have to step foot in a locker room.

But when you live in a smaller space or a small apartment, exercising at home can feel impossible, and you can't avoid the need for some fitness equipment, but where should it be placed? It's hard to replicate a gym at home, but you don't need all the equipment you'll find in a gym - a resistance band might do the trick for you.

When looking for a resistance band, the most important thing to look for is the strength or tension of the band. If you are a beginner, you should start with a light band. The bands are usually color coded - like yellow for light and black for heavy.

Follow up with these five movements:

1. BAND OVER AND BACK

• Grab the resistance band in front of you with your hands above shoulder-width apart. Start at about waist height.
• Pull the band away.
• While keeping arms and elbows straight, lift upwards, eventually reaching overhead.
• Continue this movement along your back, keeping your arms as straight as possible.
• When your shoulders won't allow you to press down further, reverse the movement and work your way back to your starting position.
• Repeat.

Tips: If you're having trouble keeping your arms straight, relax and widen your grip on the band, don't hold on so tight.

2. BAND SQUATS

• Step on the resistance band about shoulder-width apart.
• Pull the resistance band up so that the top is over your shoulders and the band is against the back of your arms.
• To complete the squat, push your hips back while keeping your chest straight.
• Reverse the movement to return to the original shape, making sure the heels are down.
• Repeat.

Tips: If this seems too easy, you can use two resistance bands for added resistance.

3. BAND DEADLIFT

• Step on the resistance band about shoulder-width apart.
• Push your hips back to lower and grab the resistance band. Your palms should face each other, and your calves should be primarily vertical.
• While holding the band, lean your hips forward as if you were standing in a regular deadlift.
• While standing, push your hips back and lower down.
• Repeat.

Tips: Make sure to pull with your arms during the movement, which will make contact with your back.

4. BAND ONE-ARM ROW

• Attach the resistance to the top of a pull-up bar or a sturdy door.
• Sit on the floor with your legs spread apart. Lean back slightly and grab the resistance band with both hands (there should be a little tension at the top of the exercise).
• To pull the strap down, push your elbows back toward your torso.
• Reverse the motion to release tension in the resistance band.
• Repeat.

Tips: Keep your chest up. Use the strap to pull with your arms instead of your whole body (resist the urge to rotate your torso).

5. HIGH TO LOW BAND ROW

• Attach the resistance to the top of a pull-up bar or a sturdy door.
• Sit on the floor with your legs spread apart. Lean back slightly and grab the resistance band with both hands (there should be a little tension at the top of the exercise).
• To pull the strap down, push your elbows back toward your torso.
• Reverse the motion to release tension in the strap.
• Repeat.

Tips: Keep your chest up, towards the anchor point of the resistance band.
