Resistance-Band Assisted Push-Up

Instructions for Resistance Band Assisted Push-Up: 1. Secure a resistance band to a stable bar or power rack at approximately chest height when kneeling.

2. Loop the other end of the resistance band around your upper back, just below the shoulder blades.

3. Get into the push-up position on the floor beneath the rack, with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and the band providing upward assistance.

4. With your body in a straight line from the head to the heels, engage your core and keep your glutes tight to prevent sagging or piking of the hips.

5. Lower yourself down, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body, until your chest nearly touches the floor.

6. Push through your hands to extend your arms, raising yourself back to the starting position. The resistance band will help support some of your weight, making the push-up easier.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets, making sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.

This exercise may be particularly useful for people who are working on their push-up strength and form, as the band can help alleviate some of the weight they must press, allowing for a full range of motion and proper technique development.
