I’m teaming up with Victoria’s Secret Sport to share today’s workout with you guys and it’s a sweaty one! (<— Big thanks to Victoria’s Secret for the cute apparel you see in this post!) This workout targets your upper body by focusing on your back, biceps, triceps, shoulders and chest and also incorporates bursts of jump rope for a cardio element that will get your heart rate up in between strength exercises.
This is a great workout to keep in your back pocket when you’re traveling since throwing a resistance band and jump rope in your suitcase won’t take up much room and you’ll have two great pieces of exercise equipment on hand for travel-friendly workouts like this one! The entire workout can easily be done at home, in a hotel room (just be mindful of the jumping!), outside or at the gym.
You can also modify this workout if you do not have a jump rope. Simply substitute high knees or jumping jacks in place of the 30 seconds of jump rope in between the resistance band exercises. And if you don’t have a resistance band but have access to dumbbells, feel free to make that swap as well!
Visual demonstrations of the above resistance band exercises:
- Resistance Band Chest Press
- Resistance Band Shoulder Raises
- Resistance Band Biceps Curls
- Resistance Band Triceps Kickbacks
- Resistance Band Rows
Victoria’s Secret Sport Finds
And now for my workout apparel details, since I’m basically in love with the fun neon capris, strappy sports bra and comfy pullover I’m wearing in the above photos!
I recently had the opportunity to select a few new things from the Victoria’s Secret Sport collection. It was hard to narrow everything down and only select a couple of new pieces to try which is why I actually ended up buying the pullover, a workout tank and another sports bra with my own money as well. Clearly I cannot be trusted around cute workout gear!
Below is a quick list of the apparel you see in this post:
- Victoria’s Secret Knockout Capris: Smoothing, sweat-wicking fabric and the waistband doesn’t dig into your sides
- Victoria’s Secret Sport Strappy Back Sports Bra: Super flattering cups that add shape and also provide support
- Victoria’s Secret Ultimate Racerback Tank: Lightweight, flattering and a perfect workout staple
- Victoria’s Secret Sport Pullover (The one I bought in-store is currently unavailable online but the The Player Long Sleeve Tee with a mesh back is similar!): Incredibly comfortable and the cut-out back is adorable and perfect for showing off a fun sports bra
If any of the above items caught your eye, stay tuned because next week I’ll be sharing a more detailed review of my favorite finds and Victoria’s Secret is going to be offering one heck of an awesome deal for all of you! (FYI — Right now they’re offering free shipping on any purchases over $100 with the code FREESHIP100 through January 20.)
I hope you’re having a great Wednesday so far and I’ll see ya tomorrow with Chase’s 5 month update!

Love the pullover!!! Too cute with the key hole in the back!!
You picked out some adorable pieces! I can’t control myself when ordering cute workout gear either! It’s badddd!!!!!
Great workout. I love how easy and accessible resistance bands and jump ropes are.
I really like those Nikes. What kind are they?
They’re the Flyknits! Just got them for Christmas!
I’ve been looking at those for workouts. Do they offer good support?
yes! i’ll be posting a more detailed review next week!
Thank you very much!
Such cute workout clothes. I love your hat, too. Mind sharing where that’s from?
Cute stuff. You’re the 3rd blogger in the last 5 minutes I saw selling VS stuff!
ya seriously
I LOVE that outfit. That workout should come in handy as my travel season ramps up this spring! xox
Such cute gear! And the workout looks awesome!!
I absolutely love those capris. I will need to check out this Victoria secret line. I also love jump rope but often forget about it when it comes to making a workout plan.
where is your hat from!
Columbia 🙂
I totally forget about resistance bands, use the jump rope all the time though! Love the capri’s and open back shirt, you look adorable!
What fun capris! Super cute. I’m interested to read your review next week…Hoping to see how they compare to other brands like lululemon or fabletics.
Okay first of all I love that hat. Second, I’m dying over that sports bra. Mine are usually so ugly since I’m all about that support. I automatically think that cute sports bras suck at holding it all in 😛 VS has made some solid sports bras in the past though so I’ll have to check it out. Thanks Julie!
Cute pants! I am so excited to see the new workout gear that they are coming out with. I am also going to have to give this workout a try. I love resistance band workouts!
Those leggings are super cute! I got a couple resistance bands awhile ago so I’ll definitely be giving this workout a try.
Love the outfit! Where is your touque from?
Columbia!
Love, love, love that bra!
Thanks for the workout! I love VS Knockout capri’s . They are the most comfortable workout leggings I own. I have one pair from 3 years ago and they are still in great condition.
they really are fantastic!!
I love the VS capris! So cute. I’ve been meaning to pull the trigger on some of their workout gear, but haven’t had a chance to check them out.
such cute VS workout clothes!
Love their new line!
This looks like an awesome workout! I always forget about resistance bands outside of physical therapy, but they’re such a great workout tool 🙂 And I can’t say enough good things about the whole VSX line – it’s one of my favorites for workout/athleisure apparel!
They do have cute clothes!
Great workout, and I’m LOVING those capris! I posted a workout today that only uses dumbbells and am FULLY on board with any workout that uses limited equipment. Resistance bands are perfect for everywhere, even if you need to fake the jump rope portion. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!!
XO,
Jessica
I LOVE those pants and top! I need to shop there more often!
o0o0o Love that outfit!
Love those capris and that pullover!!!!
I’ve decided that, since I have a gift card and never buy myself anything, I’m treating myself to both (if they’re available in my store, that is). Love the workout, too! Jumping rope is so much tougher than I remember it being when I was a child.
thank you so much for this workout! The resistance band and the jump rope are absolutely two of my favorite exercise toys.
Oouu!! I love that top!
If anybody gets the chance it would be amazing if you could check out my blog:

Hi Julie! In your latest post you asked for suggestions on content, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a purely resistance band workout! I am currently living overseas and don’t have access to dumbbells, but I do have a band. I’ve had a tough time finding decent resistance band workouts online – could you come to my rescue??!!! I would love you forever!
I don’t do enough jump rope routines. Now I want to go pick up my bands and rope! 🙂 Thanks!
