Resistance Band Chest Press
How to Do Resistance Band Chest Press
- Attach a resistance band to a door frame or other stable surface. The base of the band will come to the level of your knees/thighs. Holding each handle, turn away and walk forward. Take a left leg lead stance.
- Brace your core as you slowly push the resistance bands in front of you. Do not lock out the elbows.
- Slowly return to the starting position, focusing the tension in the chest. Once your elbows are at a 90 degree angle, pause and begin again.
