Pretend you are suctioning or screwing your foot to the floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Be on the forefoot\/top of your back foot.

Aim to have resistance in the band for 100% of the exercise, but you&#8217;ll notice most of the resistance towards the top of the push-up when you are completing the rep, and at the beginning of the lowering component.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">While maintaining the same body positioning, gaze directly down to a spot on the floor. For the duration of the exercise, your eyes should remain fixed on this spot. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Position your hands so they are shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Figure out what hand width and positioning works and feels best for you. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">At the top of the push-up, your shoulders, elbows and wrists should be in a relatively stacked position. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Your weight should be evenly distributed throughout your full hands and fingers, not just at the base of your hands\/wrists.

Imagine you are pulling or \u201crowing\u201d your body down to the floor. Do not just drop down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">In the bottom position, your elbows should be positioned over your wrists, and forearms in a vertical position. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Do not allow your elbows to excessively point out. In the bottom position, your body and arms should resemble an \u201carrow,\u201d not a \u201cT\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Once your upper arms are approximately parallel (or slightly closer) to the floor, press up and return to the top\/starting position. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">When you are pressing your body away from the floor and are returning to the top position, think about spreading your shoulder blades apart and moving them away from your spine, and around your ribcage. Do not keep them pinned.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">For the duration of the exercise, your body should remain in a straight line from the top\/back of your head to heels. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">In terms of breathing, do what works and feels best for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\"><strong>Do 2-4 sets of 8-15+ reps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"><strong>#3) Band Resisted Step-Downs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This exercise strengthens the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and the muscles in the lower leg and foot.

Your head, torso, and hips should be in a stacked\/level position.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">As for the non-working leg, keep it straight and close to the midline of your body.

Your heel and the base of your big and baby toes should remain in contact with the surface for the duration of the exercise. Pretend you are suctioning or screwing your surface to the floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Extend both of your arms so they are chest height, make fists, and generate tension in your upper body.

Here are 5 band exercises that are challenging, entertaining, and will deliver top results! Do 2-4 rounds of this circuit. Or you can do the exercises as supersets (pair two exercises), or do the exercises individually. Do what works and feels best for you. Here is another article where I share 5 band exercises for strengthening the glutes and hamstrings! #1) Rear Foot Elevated Band Resisted RDLs\/Deadlifts This exercise strengthens the posterior chain muscles. Coaching Tips: Do 2-4 sets of 8-15 reps per side. #2) Band Resisted Push-Ups As I talk about all the time, a properly executed push-up is a moving plank! Push-ups strengthen the shoulders, chest, and triceps, improve lumbo-pelvic stability (think core), and shoulder and scapular controlled mobility. In this variation, the ante has been upped as you will also use band resistance! If you cannot yet do push-ups from the floor, opt for the hands elevated variation, and with no band resistance. Coaching Tips: Do 2-4 sets of 8-15+ reps. #3) Band Resisted Step-Downs This exercise strengthens the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and the muscles in the lower leg and foot. Make sure you can do these well using bodyweight before you add any band resistance. Coaching Tips: Do 2-4 sets of 6-12 reps per side. Build full body strength, mobility, and athleticism using just a band and your bodyweight! No gym required! For beginners to intermediates in terms of training experience and ability. LEARN MORE #4) Band Resisted Mountain Climbers This exercise strengthens the hip flexors, improves lumbo-pelvic stability (think core), and shoulder and scapular stability. If you don&#8217;t have access to a surface where you can slide, you can perform the movements by stepping. The same key points in form apply. To note, the goal here is not making oneself exhausted. Many people perform mountain climbers incorrectly and just go through the motions in an attempt to chase exhaustion. If you try this here you will be humbled very quickly. Coaching Tips: Do 2-4 sets of 5-8 reps per side. 1 rep = 3 strides\/jogs #5) Band Resisted Leg Extensions From Bear Crawl This exercise strengthens the quadriceps, improves shoulder and scapular stability, and lumbo-pelvic stability (think core).\u2063\u2063\u2063 Coaching Tips: Do 2-4 sets of 10-15 reps. Build full body strength, mobility, and athleticism with mostly dumbbells and some bands. For \u2018\u2019experienced\u2019\u2019 beginners to intermediates in terms of training experience and ability, and also coaches. You should have 3-6 months minimum of strength training experience (my recommendation). Home workout friendly, and great for gym workouts!
