Resistance Band Push-up Instructions

  1. Place the resistance band around your upper back, just below your shoulder blades, and hold the ends of the band firmly in each hand.
  2. Assume a push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, and your feet together or slightly apart.
  3. Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight and your core engaged.
  4. Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms, while maintaining tension in the resistance band.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Resistance Band Push-up Tips

  1. Start with a resistance band that challenges you but allows for proper form.
  2. Place the band around your upper back, just below the shoulder blades, to engage the chest muscles effectively.
  3. Maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout the exercise to engage your core and prevent sagging.
  4. Lower your body slowly, keeping your elbows close to your sides, to fully engage the chest muscles.
  5. Push through the band with controlled force, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows.
  6. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement to maximize the benefits.
  7. Vary your hand positions (wide, narrow, staggered) to target different areas of the chest and challenge your muscles.
