Handy fitness gadget: The exercise band

When I'm away from home, I usually convince myself that there's absolutely no way I can work out. Because, you know, I can't exactly haul weights around with me, so I might as well take the week off. But the truth is, there's an inexpensive, light, convenient way to get resistance training, and you can probably fit it in your purse so you have no excuse to not pack it in your suitcase -- it's an exercise band and it's a must-have for any fitness lover.

Don't know what to do with it? Check out this video from one of Ford Model's fitness beauties, in which she shows you just what to do with that band to target your trouble areas.
