Hold the resistance band with both hands at chest level, ensuring that the band is taut but not tight.
Slowly press your hands straight out in front of your chest, extending your arms fully while resisting the pull of the band.
Pause for a moment when your arms are fully extended, ensuring your core is engaged to resist the band's pull.
Slowly return your hands to your chest, resisting the pull of the band, and repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Proper Stance: Stand perpendicular to the band's anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart. This is your starting position. A common mistake is standing too close or too far from the anchor point, which can either decrease resistance or put too much strain on your muscles. Controlled Movement: When pressing the band, make sure to do it slowly and in a controlled manner. Avoid rushing through the movement as it can lead to improper form and potential injuries. Engage Core: Keep your core engaged throughout the movement. A common mistake is to rely too much on arm strength, but this exercise is designed to target the core. By keeping your abs tight, you ensure the work is being done by the right muscles. Avoid Leaning or Twisting:
