Instructions
- Weighted vest (optional)
- A stable platform (such as a low bench or step)
1. Setup:
- Adjust the suspension trainers so that the straps hang down loosely from a sturdy anchor point.
- Get into a weighted vest if you are using one.
- Place your feet on the platform, ensuring it is stable and secure.
2. Positioning:
- Grasp the handles of the suspension trainers with both hands, keeping your arms extended.
- Position your body into a plank position; your body should be in a straight line from your head to your heels.
- Adjust the distance between your feet and the anchor point until you feel comfortable.
3. Movement:
- Lowering Phase: Bend your elbows to lower your body towards the ground. Keep your core engaged and maintain a straight line from your head to your heels.
- Depth: Lower yourself until your chest is just above the handles. Do not let your hips sag or your back arch excessively.
4. Rising Phase:
- Press through your palms to extend your arms and raise your body back to the starting position. Make sure to maintain control and keep your body in alignment.
5. Repetitions:
- Start with 5-10 repetitions, focusing on maintaining good form. As you progress, you can increase the number of repetitions.
6. Tips:
- Ensure your shoulders are directly above your hands throughout the exercise.
- Keep your core tight to prevent sagging in your lower back.
- Control the movement; avoid bouncing or swinging.
7. Cool Down:
- After completing your set, take a moment to stretch your chest, shoulders, and arms.
