From her famous trampoline routines to some seriously impressive headstands, there's no stopping the star, and her latest video will have you grabbing your best gym leggings in no time. Sharing her killer leg workout with her millions of followers, Eva can be seen doing sets of goblet squats, crab walks, curtsy lunges, single leg glute bridges, hip thrusts, step ups and cable kickbacks. She captioned the video: "First leg day of the year", and we can already feel our thighs burning.

Resistance bands work by engaging your muscles as you push against the band, fighting tension and promoting muscle growth. You can use them to engage a range of different areas, from glutes to abs and arms.
It seems that Eva's fans were eager to try them out for themselves, with one commenting: "Yaaaaaas, cause I HATE leg day so much... but this is how it's done ladies". Whether you look forward to leg day or not, these bands are bound to improve your workout.
