- Anchor a resistance band at chest height to a sturdy object behind you.
- Hold the band handles or ends with both hands and step forward until the band has slight tension.
- Stand with your feet staggered for balance, keeping your core engaged and back straight.
- Start with your hands at chest level, elbows bent at 90 degrees, and slightly flared out.
- Push the band forward in a straight line, extending your arms fully without locking your elbows.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your chest muscles.
- Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the band’s resistance.
- Avoid leaning forward or arching your back—maintain a stable posture throughout.
