Instructions
1. Place a resistance band underneath your hands on the floor, ensuring it's secure under your palms.
2. Get into a standard push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, your body forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
3. Position the band so that it rests across your back and under your arms, creating additional resistance as you perform the push-up.
4. While keeping your core engaged and your body straight, slowly lower yourself down towards the floor by bending your elbows until your chest almost touches the ground.
5. Pause at the bottom for a moment, then push yourself back up to the starting position, extending your arms fully and feeling the additional resistance from the band.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets, rest as needed between sets.
Ensure a proper warm-up before attempting the Band Push Up and choose a resistance band that offers a challenging but manageable tension.
